Red Carnation Hotels is part of the TTC family of brands and works in proud partnership with its TreadRight Foundation to #MakeTravelMatter.
At The Oyster Box, we are committed to our community and to supporting local charities such as the Amy Biehl Foundation, Pack for a Purpose and ME to WE. We are proud to make a donation to Rhinos Without Borders for every key card returned to reception, and we encourage our guests to participate in beach clean-ups by offering a complimentary drink for every bucket of rubbish collected.
Our Initiatives
Beach Clean-up
For every bucket of rubbish collected from the beach by hotel residents, we offer a complimentary drink in the bar. Buckets are supplied by the hotel and once returned to reception, they are redeemed for a voucher enabling you to enjoy a beverage as a ‘thank you’ for helping us with our efforts.
Rhinos Without Borders
For each key card returned to reception, we make a donation of R1.000 to Rhinos Without Borders. We are so proud to support this charity, whose mission is to move rhinos from poaching hotspots in South Africa to safety in Botswana.
