This unit was initially designed as a serene coastal retreat for guests seeking a peaceful getaway. However, during quieter times, we noticed a lower demand for holiday bookings and saw an opportunity to pivot our focus. Through extensive research, we identified a need for affordable and comfortable accommodations for hospital workers. By embracing the “No room at the Inn” methodology, we successfully tapped into this new market, became fully booked and proudly announced “No room at the Inn”.
The unit was facing poor occupancy rates and had issues attracting our ideal guest. We quickly realised that the space was uninspiring and lacked character, with no clear theme or attention to detail. In order to address this, we set out to transform the unit with thoughtful finishing touches and a cohesive design concept that would appeal to our target audience, while also prioritising sustainability.
We converted the unit into Sustainable Suite, incorporating eco-friendly materials and implementing sustainable hosting strategies such as our “Never Buy New” Policy. Additionally, we recognised the importance of creating a space tailored to the specific needs of our guests and focused on designing a room that would cater to hospital workers.
