On 26 August 2022, The Liz McGrath Collection will join dog lovers around the world in commemorating International Dog Day.
Setting out to bring awareness to the wellbeing of animals, International Dog Day also encourages adoption at rescue centres rather than buying dogs from pet shops and breeders.
The Liz McGrath Collection is a champion for animal rights and supports local pet charities, such as PAWS in Plett, on an ongoing basis with regular donations. The Plettenberg, regularly donates useful items needed for daily operations, as well as used linen items which they then sold to help raise the money needed towards upgrading the kennels and bettering the environment for all animals under their care.
Pictured below is PAWS representative and kennel manger, Tracy van der Byl, who gladly received a recent donation on behalf of the hotel earlier this week.
Known for a pet-friendly ethos, and as proud members of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, each of its three 5-star hotels – The Cellars-Hohenort, The Marine, and The Plettenberg extends a warm welcome to all, including families with children and well-behaved furry friends. Small and medium sized dogs are welcome to dine with guests on hotel restaurant patios, while the 5-star service continues to the finest pet-friendly accommodation, complete with special bedding, toys, food bowls and a doggy menu.
At the three hotels, guest rooms with terraces and balconies are perfectly suited to guests travelling with their dog children. On arrival at check-in, furry guests receive a welcome treat, along with a dog menu with options of various healthy and tasty meals. These include Slow-cooked lamb and chunky sweet potato, Smashed peas and chicken thigh with basmati rice, or treats such as ‘Pooched’ hotdogs or Homemade peanut butter and oatmeal doggie biscuits.
The Marine in Hermanus and The Plettenberg boast unrivalled positioning that beckon for beachfront-walks, a splash on the shoreline and hours of outdoor-action for children and four-legged family members. Situated in Cape Town’s spectacular Constantia Valley, The Cellars-Hohenort is an inviting oasis that provides the ideal luxury home-away-from-home for animal lovers. The hotel’s spectacular gardens offer myriad adventures with ancient camphor trees, a forest, vineyards, rose gardens and plenty of other wonders inviting discovery. Beyond the hotel grounds, the natural beauty of Constantia’s green surrounds awaits with endless opportunities for walks, and golden beaches a short drive away.
