Since the Tollman family purchased The Oyster Box in 2007, sustainability has become a central pillar of our hotel operations. From back-of-house innovations around water saving, energy efficiency and waste management, through to guest-facing programs that encourage environmental awareness and conservation, we have wholeheartedly embraced our responsibility to both sustainability and community upliftment.
Our sustainability efforts are currently focused on phasing out all single-use plastics, while partnering with Winnow technology to reduce food wastage. The Red Carnation Hotel Collection is part of The Travel Corporation family of brands and works in proud partnership with its TreadRight Foundation to #MakeTravelMatter.
Help us combat the scourge of ocean plastics. For every beach-bucket of rubbish collected from Umhlanga beach by hotel residents, we offer a complimentary drink in the hotel bar. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for helping us keep our beaches clean.
Join us for immersive cultural tours that explore the very best of what Umhlanga has to offer. Discover the Zulu Village or embark on a foodie trip that takes you to the very heart of Indian cuisine.
