Granny Mouse Country House and Spa joins the digital revolution

Who says you have to be a city slicker to embrace the digital revolution? Granny Mouse Country and Spa, the haven of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, has proved it leads the way when it comes to technology.

In an industry like travel and hospitality, where 95% of bookings originate online, this makes perfect sense. It also allows guests to experience Granny Mouse Country House through a variety of live, integrated platforms.

For example, visitors past and present can keep up to date with what other people have to say about Granny Mouse Country House and Spa by visiting its Facebook page, following it on Twitter or checking in on TripAdvisor. “We have taken full advantage of the fact that social media has become the number one place for giving and sharing opinions, and we enjoy the opportunity to build an online community where people can experience Granny Mouse Country House and discuss those experiences with like-minded travellers,” says owner Gill Bowmaker.

The venue has its own dedicated mobisite, accessed via a QR Code. What’s more, those who are considering Granny Mouse Country House and Spa for a wedding, conference, or even just a holiday spot, can enjoy a preview of the venue by watching its YouTube clips.

Gill explains that one of the chief reasons for adopting technology to this extent is because it is in keeping with Granny Mouse Country House’s eco-friendly outlook, enabling the venue to communicate with guests without the use of paper.

A comprehensive range of i-brochures have been developed expressly for this purpose, and Granny Mouse Country House and Spa boasts the distinction of being one of the first country hotel to make use of such a channel, which doubles as a source of vital information as well as a sumptuously visual catalogue of all it has to offer.
