A New Season of Focus.

Posted by Deon on Thu February 26, 2026.

Every house moves through seasons.

Some seasons are about building. Others are about refining. The recent reflections on stewardship marked the close of an important chapter for us. Stewardship remains our foundation. It always will. But growth requires movement. It requires clarity about where energy is best invested.

In hospitality, focus is not accidental. It is deliberate. A well run guesthouse does not scatter its attention. It strengthens what works. It protects standards. It chooses depth over noise.

The same discipline applies to communication.

Going forward, there will be refinement in where conversations happen and how they deepen.

The Guesthouse Blog and Guesthouse Facebook will remain our guest facing spaces. This is where the house speaks. Where stories are shared. Where the rhythm of hosting continues to unfold for those who walk through our doors.

Hospitality Enthusiast Facebook will become the primary professional home for leadership reflections and industry dialogue.

LinkedIn will continue to carry selected professional insights.

Hospitality Enthusiast Instagram will close.

Personal platforms will return to personal content.

This is not reduction. It is direction.

Hospitality is not built in quick seasons. It is built over time. With discipline. With patience. With decisions that protect reputation long after a shift ends.

The next chapter will explore that idea more intentionally. The long game in hospitality. Because longevity is not luck. It is leadership carried consistently.

“Focus is a form of stewardship. What we choose to sustain shapes the quality of what we build.”

If this way of hosting resonates, you’re welcome to book your stay with us.
