Today we celebrate the legends who keep Jollyboys running like a well-mixed cocktail 🍹

Happy Labour Day to YOU and our incredible team - the early risers, the late-night lifesavers, the kitchen magicians, the front desk pros, and the ones who always know exactly what you need before you even ask.

From check-ins to Braai night stories, poolside laughs to perfectly plated meals, it’s this crew that turns a stay into an experience.

If you’ve been here before, you know… Jollyboys isn’t just a place, it’s the people.

‼️ A quick update from the Jollyboys Team:

Livingstone Island excursions are continuing as scheduled; however, swimming activities are temporarily on pause. The good news is that all other island experiences, including breakfast, lunch, and high tea are still going ahead as normal, so the adventure is far from over. ✌️

We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Keep an eye on this space for further updates, we’ll let you know as soon as the swimming is back on!
