Workcation in the countryside with Cape Country Routes

Posted on Thu January 28, 2021.

Cape Country Routes is the perfect match to this new travel trend: Workcation! Natural surroundings, breath-taking views, comfortable country-style accommodation and home-away-from-home hospitality. What more could you ask for?

The pandemic continues and so does the necessity for home offices and remote work.  This often means a lack of scenery change and increasing requirements to juggle work, family and household – all under one roof…every day!  This can often lead to frustration and stress.

The situation calls for a #workcation! 

Change your routine, break up the day-to-day monotony, pack your laptop and work from a remote destination in the countryside that offers you fresh inspiration and fills up your energy tank. There is no need to put in leave as you will get all your work done remotely, if not more! Research shows that working remotely in a beautiful setting has a positive effect on performance and can boost productivity.

Cape Country Routes is the perfect match to this new travel trend.  Natural surroundings, breath-taking views, comfortable country-style accommodation and home-away-from-home hospitality.  What more could you ask for?  Most Cape Country Routes accommodation members - owner-run hotels, guesthouses, lodges and self-catering units - offer long stay discounts as well as other highly appealing features:  Fast wi-fi connections, dedicated workspaces, meeting room facilities, access to printing, fax, and scanning equipment, tea/coffee specials, room service, lunch/dinner specials and more.  Keep the “home comforts” while enjoying the conveniences of an office in a beautiful and safe setting that adheres to all the COVID-19 #staysafe protocols.

Other amenities add to the relaxing atmosphere:  Guest pools, reading lounges, fireplaces, spa facilities as well as access to local activities for “after hours” and lunch break entertainment - also for the family should they be joining you during your workcation.  The extra time spent with family in a safe environment can be a huge perk in working from a remote location.

Travel expert Nomadic Matt suspects that “working from home is here to stay, a lot of people will continue to work from home. Not only is it cheaper for businesses but it means more flexibility, time with family, and less commuting.”  It’s the #futureofwork! Working remotely means flexibility and choosing the best way to be creative and productive.
