“Having a supplier that was reliable and who had constant supplies of products was of all importance. Jim was very helpful and answered any questions that we had for him – nothing seemed a problem to him! Being able to see samples of the products before we purchased anything and being able to try the items in our rooms too. Thank you, Jim, and Vendella.“
A Sustainable Story.
Gibbston Valley chose Vendella for our quality products that aligned with their sustainable focus. This included products from our Dream Green range with microfiber fill made from recycled bottles.
Commercial Quality.
Having product that was fit-for-purpose and could stand up to the rigors of a commercial environment was important to the Gibbston Valley team. Vendella’s Weavers range of towelling and sheeting were the perfect option.
BACKGROUND
Located in the heart of the wine region, Gibbston Valley Lodge & Spa offers luxury accommodation, 5-star personal service, an on-site restaurant and a spa. The 24 private villas feature views over the organic vineyards and the mountains of Gibbston. Opening in mid 2019, the property caters for a range of high-end experiences for business travelers, tourists, and anyone looking for a luxurious experience or getaway. One of our account managers Jim Boakes was passing through the area late 2018 and noticed some timber structures being put up beyond the vineyard. He called and spoke to the owners who informed him they were building a new luxury accommodation and had Vendella on their list of suppliers to contact for the luxury bedding they required for the property.
THE PROJECT
Jim worked alongside the owners to put together a package including comfortable bedding with a sustainable story; pillows, duvets, and mattress toppers all filled with microfiber made from recycled plastic bottles. Gibbston Valley run their own purpose-built, fully operational laundry so required commercial sheeting and towelling that is built for the rigors of the guest market. Weavers sheeting and towelling was the obvious solution for the Gibbston team.
