Home Sweet Home

There is, as the saying goes, no place like home. The word conjures up feelings of safety, sanctuary, peace, and privacy. “Home” is our refuge from the outside world, a safe place to relax and recharge, a soft landing at the end of a busy day.

And for travelling executives, inter-city commuters, and digital nomads, “home” is what they miss most when away from it.

Hotels might have been the traditional mainstay of business travellers the world over, but today’s busy executives want more than just a bed for the night. They’re looking for a more individualised experience along with the creature comforts one associates with “home,” and are consequently turning to corporate rentals as a viable alternative. Here’s why:

Cost efficiency
Good hotels simply don’t come cheap. A 3- night stay in a decent 4-star hotel in Cape Town, will set you back around R 3000 per night, whereas corporate rentals within the CBD start from as little as R 12,500 per month. You’re also not limited to the number of nights you stay, or who accompanies you, and your booking is not subject to availability or seasonal tariff increases.

Comfort & convenience
A spacious, fully-furnished apartment offers a more comfortable and homely environment for extended stays, and the added benefit of a functional kitchen means that you can self-cater, should you wish. If not, most corporate rentals offer onsite housekeeping, hospitality, cleaning, and laundry services.

Flexibility
Plans change, often at the last minute, so flexibility is key. Opting for a corporate rental means you can travel light, and come and go as you please once you reach our destination. No need to worry about check-in and check-out times, no bills to settle, no penalties to pay for early arrivals or late departures, so you’ll have lots more time to focus on what really matters.

Privacy
After a long and busy day at the office, there’s nothing better than being able to retreat to the quiet and privacy of your home – whether it’s to relax and unwind in a hot bath, or curl up on the couch with Netflix, to freshen up before heading back out, or to catch up on calls and emails.

Productivity
One of the biggest advantages of having a satellite home in a city you visit frequently, is that it reflects your taste, style, and preferences. Having a “happy place” away from home, one that will keep you grounded and stimulate productivity, will ultimately set you up for success.

Work-life Balance
When working away from home, you need to maintain healthy habits and cultivate a positive mindset. A fully personalised, move-in-ready, lock-up-and-go bolt-hole allow you to achieve the work-life balance you need, while on the road.

Lock-up-and-go
Corporate rentals tend to be located within fully secured residential developments, which means that you can come and go as you like, safe in the knowledge that your apartment will be safe and secure until you return.

Down Time
When not needed for business trips, your corporate rental becomes a handy holiday home – either for yourself, or gifted to family and friends.
