Company information

Creating a sense of calm and making people feel genuinely special is at the heart of everything I do. Each guest deserves a break that feels restorative and personal — and that’s exactly what I aim to deliver. As a Hermanus local who has also lived abroad for many years, I bring both a local’s insight and a traveller’s perspective. I love sharing my knowledge of this beautiful area and ensuring guests feel completely at home from the moment they arrive. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and everything is done with a smile and a personal touch. 😊
