Our story begins with three friends who share a passion for travel and a desire to discover new places. We set out to create a new hospitality model, partnering with private landowners to gain access to never-before-experienced locations. There is no better way to see new places, breathtaking views and untouched nature than by escaping to secluded havens. And so Stay Unique™was born. An innovative ecotourism startup offering unique and thrilling getaways in and around South Africa.
Our business model is built on the foundations of creating new revenue streams for our landowner partners whilst simultaneously providing people with access to previously inaccessible sites.
At SU, we are purpose over profit-driven. While our future will be about expanding our offerings to include new categories such as trails, camps, retreats, and luxury eco-lodges, our fundamental goal is to contribute to the growth of eco and agri-tourism in our connected regions, benefiting and positively impacting, people and places wherever we go.
Travelling far and wide, we’ve searched for sanctuaries to match our design vision. Locations where the views are panoramic and skies clear. Free of city noise, smog and car horns. Where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the comforts of our thoughtfully designed spaces. We can guarantee that your stay will be nothing short of unique. Because at SU, we believe that luxury is the location.

We Are Maeving.
Maeving are a British maker of electric motorcycles.
Our bikes are classically styled and practical machines that channel the best of British motorcycle design heritage into a new type of electric vehicle. Faster and safer than e-bikes or e-scooters, they are made for you, for the city, and for the planet.
Maeving’s bikes feature removable batteries that you can charge from any UK plug socket, making it easy to ‘re-fuel’ and bringing an end to range anxiety. We’re making a future where your electric motorcycle is charged at your desk at work, not in your garage.
We provide an end-to-end experience through www.maeving.com, ensuring that our customers get the best from their bikes by buying direct from us, the makers. We deliver to you for free, and service your bike at your door, making the buying and owning experience fuss-free. No dealer networks, no nonsense.
Our motorcycles allow our customers to achieve zero-emission personal transport and have the potential to radically transform our cities, making them cleaner, quieter, and healthier.
And finally, they’re priced to save the world too – because they need to make sense to make a difference.
We Are Maeving. We Make Progress.
