UPGRADE YOUR MINIBAR TO THE LUXURIOUS STATUS IT WAS INTENDED TO BE.
Let’s face it - nobody has ever said, “Wow, I loved that tiny plastic bottle from the hotel mini-bar.”
We’re here to change that.
At New Harbour Distillery, we’ve taken our entire range of locally made South African spirits and given them the VIP treatment: Sleek 200ml glass bottles that scream sophistication. Think boutique chic instead of plastic fantastic.
Our minis don’t just sit on a shelf - they elevate the room and make your guests feel like they’ve checked into somewhere that really gets them.
The line-up includes:
-
Pinotage Vodka
-
Cape Alchemist Brandy
-
Bushveldt Whisky
-
Maroela Gin
-
Rooibos Gin
-
Spekboom Gin
We deliver for free anywhere in SA (yes, even to that lodge that’s “just past the third gravel road after the big tree”).
At New Harbour, we believe a refined minibar isn’t just a nice extra — it can be a quiet profit engine. In South Africa and abroad, guests want convenience during their stay, but traditional minibars often sit untouched thanks to steep prices and uninspiring choices.
That’s where we step in. We’ve partnered with some of the most iconic names in hospitality — La Residence Franschhoek, The Radisson Collection, The Birkenhead Hotel, Sun City, The Bay Hotel, and Hyatt — to transform small in-room bars into memorable experiences. By offering thoughtfully curated items, transparent pricing, and effortless ordering, we not only elevate the guest experience but also boost revenue. The numbers speak for themselves: while many guests avoid minibars, around 25% indulge when the offering feels fair and appealing. Add a simple QR menu and instant payments, and suddenly guests can enjoy drinks, snacks, and even made-to-order treats without a hint of hassle.
