Company information

Born and bred in Cape Town. I love my city and introducing it to guests. I enjoy meeting new people and am an avid fisherman, bowls player and painter. My partner Barbara and I, are both retired and spend our week days at The Greenhouse. We supervise on Saturdays and Sundays for that personal touch but at the same time do not encroach on guest privacy.
