Just to update you on our recent re-grading at EagleRockGuesthouse As you know, we are situated in one of the best locations for a Durban North Bed & Breakfast facility. I am pleased to report that we retained our 3 star grade.
Serviced Accommodation Minimum Requirements
Definitions for Grading Purposes
Durban North Bed & Breakfast - accommodation is provided in a family (private) home and the owner/manager lives in the house or on the property. Breakfast must be served. Bathroom facilities may or may not be en-suite and/or private. In general, the guest shares the public areas with the host family. Shaun McCleland and Gen have really enjoyed this aspect of our EagleRockGuesthouse
Country House - is a large Guest House, usually situated in natural, peaceful surroundings such as near a nature reserve, a forest, a lake etc. It offers all the services of a hotel, including dinner. Shaun McClelland's B&B is not a Country House, but has natural, peaceful surroundings such as near a nature reserve, a forest and Durban North Beachwood Golf Course in front of the garden.
Guest House - can be an existing home, a renovated home or a building that has been specifically designed to provide overnight accommodation. A guest house will have public areas for the exclusive use of its guests. A guest house is a commercial operation enterprise and as such the owner or manager may live on the property. This criteria fits EagleRockGuesthouse and Shaun and Gene love it.
Hotel - provides accommodation to the traveling public, has a reception area, and offers at least a "breakfast room" or communal eating area. In general a hotel makes food and beverage services available to guests; these may be outsourced or provided by the hotel. Definitely not at EagleRockGuestHouse. Far better facilities at half the price as an hotel.
Lodge - an accommodation facility located in natural surroundings. The rates charged are usually inclusive of all meals and the experience offered at the lodge, with game drives, battlefield tours, etc. Although we are not a Lodge we can facilitate day outings
Only establishments that cater for transient guests (travelling public) will qualify for grading. This we have done and are happy with 3 star rating. Shaun McClelland finds this segment of the market are down to earth easy to please and there is an abundant market here
Shaun and Gene thank all our Guest for this year to date for making this a happy guest house
Make a great day, Shaun McClelland EagleRockGuesthouse
