Menno & Janneke
Myself, Menno & my wife Janneke, have spent a lifetime in the property industry as estate agents, selling home, apartments & new developments. We also have a small portfolio of rental propertie, so are well versed in property maintenance, lifestyle and property demands. We are passionate about travel, seeing the world & interacting with others who enjoy it as much. Creating the Protea Retreat was as much for our own personal use, use by overseas family members and a resource for travelers who want to enjoy other countries as much as we do. We love nature & the outdoors. I love the sea and windsurfing in the Cape South Easter winds.
Protea Retreat is well located in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. Approximately 25 km from the Cape Waterfront and Center of Cape Town, Table Mountain & Table Bay. Protea Heights is surrounded by major shopping malls, a short drive to most major access routes like the R300, N1 & N2. We are situated along the Wine Route and a 20 minute drive from famous Stellenbosch.
