living green: environmental
& social
The
Petousis family’s love of nature is obvious to all
who visit the Vineyard Hotel & Spa and see the glorious
gardens they have established and the great effort they
have taken to include the natural elements indoors. The
tall gracious trees growing inside the Square Restaurant,
the tinkling waterfalls plus the huge expanse of glass windows
in the Square Restaurant, Garden Lounge and both conference
and health centres all pay tribute to this. As children,
the young Petousis’ often accompanied their father
on his weekend hikes up Table Mountain and today they
still spend as much time outdoors as they can. Once a
month they form part of a Vineyard team who battle under
the African sun, removing alien vegetation from an area
the Vineyard Hotel & Spa have committed to looking
after, just over 8.5 hectares in Silvermine, part of the
Table Mountain Nature Reserve.
Following in their fathers footsteps they too feel a need
to make a contribution to their community and have embarked
on many projects as part of their commitment to making
a difference. The Vineyard Hotel & Spa, through its
rigorous social development programme won the 2006 Imvelo
Award for 'Best Economic Impact' and was a finalist in
the category 'Best Social Responsibility Programme' in
2006.
Conservation is taken very seriously by the Vineyard Hotel & Spa. Education of all the staff, introducing energy
saving devices, water conservation and cleaner production
are some of the many ways that the Vineyard Hotel & Spa is making its contribution towards a cleaner, safer
and more sustainable planet.
