The rising cost of fuel is a hot topic in South Africa right now, following the country’s largest petrol price increase. Noting the effect of this on consumer confidence, Saldanha Bay Hotel has introduced a novel concept where guests are paid back in petrol when they visit the hotel.
Located just an hour and a half from Cape Town, Saldanha Bay is predominantly a self-drive destination. After seeing a lull in bookings following the recent petrol hike, which saw the cost of petrol spike to a record high of R26.74 per litre, Saldanha Bay Hotel General Manager, Jeremy Govender, introduced a brand-new concept at the property.
‘We launched this offer a week ago and have already seen a good pick up in bookings. 59 guests have already booked and paid for the offer to date. Our customers want to travel and the idea that they can do so while saving on travel costs is enticing at a time when fuel costs are so high,’ said Govender.
Saldanha Bay Hotel’s Fuel and Recharge offer starts from R2800 per couple and includes a two-night stay with breakfast and a R400 fuel voucher which is redeemable at a petrol station down the road from the hotel. The offer is subject to availability at the time of booking and valid for travel until August 31. T&Cs apply.
