Packaged deals

The service product of Dorze lodge can be sold as package depending on the choice of our customers. The objective is to provide full service to our gusts so that they relay fully on us to their requirement rather than looking for different providers for different services. It allows them to stay comfortably in their excretion. The package service can also be arranged by making a group from Different gusts.

It is recommended to keep the packages flexible. Design each activity as a building block with a fixed price, add on the price for the room and the meals to that and a tailor-made package is designed for a guest. By wishes of the guest the building blocks can be moved into each other creating a multiple day package, completely tailor-made. External non-Dorze activities can also be integrated into this.
