Protecting What Matters
The Oyster Collection proudly supports SANCCOB through monthly contributions and on-the-ground awareness across our properties. Guests are invited to be part of the impact - from adopting a penguin or making a donation, to purchasing meaningful keepsakes from our curio selection.
For a deeper connection, we offer visits to the Flamingo Vlei facility, where you can witness first-hand the extraordinary work being done to protect South Africa’s endangered seabirds.
Just a short stroll from the Lodge is the new reimagined Virgin Active - South Africa’s first Collection Country Club.
A next-level wellness and lifestyle destination, it blends high-performance training with elevated leisure. Expect cutting-edge studios (from Hot Yoga to Reformer Pilates), a state-of-the-art recovery suite, luxury spa facilities, padel courts, outdoor training spaces and curated work-and-social areas — all designed for seamless balance, restoration and connection.
Mornings begin with a freshly prepared breakfast on the terrace, featuring home-baked pastries, seasonal fruits and a full English option.
A relaxed bar offering a curated selection of local wines, lager on-tap, premium spirits and refreshing beverages. Set within a comfortable guest lounge, it’s an inviting space to unwind at your own pace - whether for a casual pre-dinner drink or a quiet nightcap before you turn in for the night.
While there is no formal restaurant, the lodge is minutes away from some of Cape Town’s best dining. Light snacks, beverages and a well-stocked honesty bar are available throughout the day for our Guests.
The Oyster Collection's support for African Penguin conservation with SANCCOB
Our Mission
Saving the African Penguin
The species is facing one of the steepest population drops of any seabird in the region. The causes are well documented:
- Fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs remain in South Africa.
- Commercial fishing has reduced sardine and anchovy numbers, leaving penguins without reliable food sources.
- Nesting habitat has been damaged or lost, and breeding sites are constantly disturbed.
- Oil spills and other forms of marine pollution continue to harm adult birds and chicks.
- Heatwaves and severe storms increase mortality, especially in young birds.
These pressures are ongoing. Without active intervention and vigorous support for African penguin conservation, these critically endangered birds may disappear from the South African coastline within our lifetime.
Our Impact
Our partnership is designed to create steady, visible, year-round support:
- Monthly financial contributions to SANCCOB’s rescue and rehabilitation operations.
- Penguin-themed merchandise in selected OC curio shops, with proceeds supporting the programme.
- Fitch & Leeds collaboration at POD, using in-room beverages to highlight the conservation work.
- QR codes and guest information in rooms and at reception so guests can adopt or donate instantly.
These touchpoints ensure awareness across our guest journey and consistent support for SANCCOB.

Feed the Soil
Our Mission
WHY WE FEED THE SOIL
We are building an ecosystem that enriches urban
farmers’ soil with compost by converting collected
food waste from households and restaurants.
By diverting waste, we are converting it into nutrient
rich compost, and returning goodness to the earth.
Feed The Soil (FTS) is a circular system. Using supply
development, the fresh produce is purchased from
our farmers and routed back to clients for resale via
our suburban pop-up markets or organised deliveries.
Our Impact
The world is losing 24 billion tonnes of fertile soil a year.
40% of arable land in SA is affected due to land degradation.
Less nutritious food due to depleted soil.
We sell starter kits to collect food waste and once filled, the buckets are dropped off and swapped
at one of our pop-up markets. We then convert the food waste into nutrient-rich compost.
Once our compost is ready, we donate and drop off to our network of urban farmers. Their fresh
organic produce is procured and retailed directly to consumers at our pop-up markets, and
through Ladles of Love purchasing their fresh produce for the ECD centres that we support.
