See what this local lady had to say to us…
What made you decide to settle upon Hermanus?
Having met Werner (husband) and then having our kids and now our business here. It’s the perfect place to our raise children and a great location, not too far from the city for when we need to escape the dorpie life.
Describe yourself in 3 words…
Kind, honest and hardworking.
My 3 favourite things in the world are…
Traveling with Werner, my kids, looooong lunches!
I decided to become involved in the hospitality sector because it made the most sense living in a beautiful town like Hermanus, and my husband comes from the industry.
What makes Ocean Eleven unique…
Besides our beautiful views, our amazing staff, I love them all.
I love being a part of Ocean Eleven because…
I find it very rewarding, a lot of hard work, and challenging all at the same time. No one day is the same. You meet amazing people, you meet terrible people, and it tests you every day as a person.
If you aren’t at the guest house what are you doing?
Very busy being a mom to three active boys!
My motto in life is… Smile and wave!
Hermanus is…
Amazing!
My favourite place in Hermanus is…
My house.
