We followed our dream to move to South-Africa and start a big renovation project to realize a guesthouse. To do so we combined our backgrounds in project management and construction. We worked hard on renovating the place into the shape it's now in and we are super proud and excited to be sharing this with guests! We love exploring new places in the area and love sharing this with others. Count on us to tell you which restaurant you cannot miss when you are here ;-) When you stay here we are at your disposal for anything, travel recommendations, a chat, a drink, anything. There isn't much that we love more than connecting with people. Hope to see you soon!
