ABOUT US
In 1994 we moved back to South Africa after a 13-year stay in Walvis Bay, Namibia. We bought Fairview and took up the challenge to restore this historic George landmark – always bearing in mind that the challenge in restoring and maintaining any old building remains staying true to the authenticity of the structure. To help with the upkeep of the historic house, I undertook to start a B&B. Desmond works as a medical doctor and enjoys the physical aspect of gardening, joking that he’ll join the gym and start golf when he retires from gardening. We both love travelling and hiking - apart from the numerous South African hiking trails, we have walked the Camino to Santiago across Portugal, Spain, and France. It does not matter where our annual holidays are – there will always be a hike fitted in and one garden visit on the list.
