Africa's Most Irresistible Charm
We exist to make people happy. And so it is our mission to find exclusive places of sanctuary and sanity, where peace, privacy and safety conjure the allure of an African oasis. We are hidden gems, but The Last Word’s intrinsic hallmark is a charm that cannot be resisted.The singular value paramount to our distinctive brand of pleasure is charm. It is woven into the fabric of each retreat from the magnificence of the locations, to the luxurious interiors. But it is the special individual charms associated with the warm and personalised care that makes The Last Word experience so seductive.
Charm is our guidance. It is also our inspiration. We relentlessly pursue its beguiling powers to bring our guests unexpected happiness and ourselves legendary fame.
We believe that our guests determine our fate, so we have taken their advice and shaped our charm around the feedback they have given us. The Last Word therefore encourages its people to be natural, to laugh and to embrace human kindness. We encourage them to anticipate our guests’ needs and to empathise with their desire for memorable happiness.
As Wine Magazine put it, “If luxury can be measured in the little extras that come with the bed for the night…well, I lost count – from the towelling gowns and slippers to a 42” flat screen television and the latest editions of all the glossiest magazines; from a toothbrush set and shaving kit to the strawberries, chocolates and sprigs of lavender on our pillows at bedtime. Not to mention the crystal decanter of sherry, fresh cut roses and tins of biltong, assorted nuts and quality street choccies…”
