Neil grew up in beautiful New Zealand, and I spent my childhood between the UK and Cape Town, South Africa. We love blending a bit of Kiwi warmth, British charm, and South African hospitality to make sure you have the best stay possible. As for the cottage, it’s got its own story! Neil actually built it himself, spending two years of weekends working with just hand tools. It was originally built for our son for his teenage years, and now we’re excited to share it with you. Whether you’re after a cozy, private spot for a night or a relaxing getaway, we’ll make sure your stay is comfortable and memorable.
