Company info

Born in Nelspruit, Mpumulanga I came to Johannesburg in 1992 to study Hotel Management. After a few years in the Hotel industry I spent the next 10 years in Interior Decorating. After leaving the big smoke for a small seaside village, Paternoster, we build up a successful Boutique Guest House. After 11 years it was time to get back in the rat race of Johannesburg where begins my next chapter: B&B on Buckingham. Come and enjoy the journey with me!
