Like most great things, it all started from humble beginnings, with one idea - to simply offer travellers creative, spacious, clean, good value for money accommodation. Bringing these ideals together wasn't easy, nor was it the norm in the travel industry.
Originally, The Daddy Long Legs kicked off with the Daddy Long Legs Hotel suites which were found above some of the most beloved restaurants in the area, namely Cafe Mojito and Khaya Nama. The five suites proved to be so successful that the owners decided to expand the concept to a second Daddy Long Legs which is also found on Long Street, but above the African Music Store.
Caring for destination
This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.
Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:
Apart from supporting local music and art, Daddy Long Legs has also implemented a number of environmental management systems which focus on water, energy and waste.
Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Daddy Long Legs has seriously committed itself to staff development and training, supporting small businesses and reducing its environmental footprint.
In addition, Daddy Long Legs actively collects donations from guests for a 4x4 Ambulance Project to assist an isolated rural community at Bulungula in the Eastern Cape, who would otherwise not have access to emergency services due to poor transportation infrastructure.
Soon there will also be an eco-friendly room available to guests.
