Acquisition of the 'Castle at Leopard Rock'
Cambria announces the acquisition of the well-known 'Castle at Leopard Rock' (the 'Castle'), which is located adjacent to the Leopard Rock Hotel, already owned by Cambria.
The Castle is located near the top of the Leopard Rock and boasts spectacular views all around; across Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands and well into Mozambique.
The Castle was originally built in the 1940s and has more recently been operating as a successful guesthouse with six rooms and suites. Cambria intends to incorporate the Castle over time into the Leopard Rock Hotel, expanding the hotel's number of rooms by 10%, through the creation of additional high-end suites. It will also offer the Hotel a number of additional, unique venues for events.
The acquisition of the Castle has been concluded by Cambria for Eur 550,000.
Commenting on the acquisition, Ian Perkins, non-executive Chairman of Cambria said: "We are pleased that we have been able to acquire the magnificent Castle at Leopard Rock. It complements very well our existing Leopard Rock Hotel facilities, further enhancing our ability to offer a unique experience at the Hotel".
Edzo Wisman, CEO of Cambria, comments: "Over time, we intend to create the highest-end suites of the Leopard Rock Hotel at the Castle, creating a very special, luxurious and private experience for the Hotel's most valued guests."
