At Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat, The Oyster Box and The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, sustainability is embedded in our approach to hospitality, balancing exceptional guest experiences with responsible environmental and social practices.

Our commitment focuses on reducing environmental impact, supporting local communities, protecting biodiversity, and celebrating the natural and cultural heritage of Southern Africa. Across our properties, we prioritise responsible sourcing, waste reduction initiatives, resource conservation, and meaningful community engagement.

All three properties hold EarthCheck Silver Certification, recognising our commitment to environmental and social responsibility through independently verified assessment and continuous improvement.

Conservation is a particularly important focus at Bushmans Kloof. Located within the Cape Floral Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and recognised as a South African National Heritage Site, the reserve is a custodian of more than 130 ancient San rock art sites. Through partnerships with organisations including the Cape Leopard Trust, alongside initiatives supporting the Clanwilliam cedar tree, indigenous wildlife and habitat restoration, Bushmans Kloof plays an active role in protecting the region’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Across the collection, we also support wider conservation and community initiatives, including Rhino conservation efforts and responsible tourism programmes that create positive impacts for local communities. Through meaningful guest experiences, we encourage a deeper appreciation of the landscapes, wildlife and cultures that make Southern Africa unique.

Through measurable actions, strategic partnerships and responsible hospitality practices, we remain committed to creating a positive impact for our guests, colleagues, communities and the environment.
