All About Winchester Marketing

Winchester Marketing has a sound track record spanning more than a decade. Our impeccable reputation reflects a commitment to integrity and service delivery. In addition to marketing lifestyle properties we offer support to developers with regard to structuring schemes, property branding and destination building. Over the years we have enjoyed close associations with a number of South Africa's top developers such as Sun International, Garden Route Chalets and Jordan Properties and our timeshare division stands tall as one of South Africa's foremost VOASA registered brokerages. Marketing successes of the timeshare division have included RCI Gold Crown graded developments such as Ngwenya Lodge, the Strand Pavilion, Place On The Bay, Sun International Vacation Club, Sobhengu Lake Lodge, Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Reserve and Verlorenkloof Country Estate. From 2004 our activities expanded into the marketing of fractional and outright investments in golf, coastal property and wildlife reserves in South Africa and Mozambique.

Our wealth of experience in all forms of lifestyle and leisure property ownership enables us to offer the full spectrum of investment options from timeshare and syndications (fractional ownership) to outright ownership with freehold title. In order to ensure the highest level of investor confidence and satisfaction we place a strong emphasis on the legal compliance and financial security of developments as well as on geographical appeal and uniqueness of setting. With our timeshare properties the delivery of outstanding holiday experiences is paramount. Our RCI affiliated timeshare, Interval International and Registry Collection affiliated high end fractional options offer worldwide holiday flexibility.

Go Wild in Style with Winchester
Winchester's "Go Wild in Style" branding has become a household name. The Company actively promotes the philosophy of "Eco-education through recreation" and in this regard has, over the years, been closely involved with eco-educational initiatives such as Boat Based Whale Watching with the Centre For Dolphin Studies in Plettenberg Bay and Bat Conservation in Mpumalanga. Winchester established Ngwenya Lodge as South Africa's premier bat watching resort and initiated a sequence of events that lead to the launch of the Lilulwane (Bat) tourist Loop in the Nkomazi East (Komatipoort) region. Winchester Marketing was awarded the United Nations UNOPS floating trophy in 2000 for adding value to tourism in the Komatipoort area. Winchester became the first corporate member of the Gauteng Bat Interest Group and has been a longstanding corporate supporter of the Endangered Wildlife Trust by contributing to their annual fund raising drives through membership enrolments and the donation of prizes at resorts in the Winchester portfolio.

Leading The Field of Conservation in Southern Africa

The Endangered Wildlife Trust Needs Your Support

The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is dedicated to a vision of responsibility and care that transcends the political boundaries and historic divisions of all countries of the subcontinent. The Endangered Wildlife Trust was formed on the 31st October 1973, and the first trustees were Clive Walker, James Clark and Neville Anderson. Today the Trust has 12 working groups and is one of the leading conservation organisations of southern and eastern Africa. For the past 30 years the EWT has devoted its efforts to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems by:

• Initiating and funding research and conservation action programmes
• Preventing species extinctions and maintaining biodiversity
• Supporting sustainable living by education and awareness programmes to the broadest possible constituency for the benefit of the people of the region.
• Winchester Marketing shares the vision of the EWT and promotes the philosophy of eco-education through recreation. We have actively supported the EWT for over six years and have invited them to make use of the properties in our portfolio to further their aims and objectives. We are committed to assisting the EWT expand its member base and we hope that you too will support them by joining as an individual member or by making your company a corporate donor.
