Looking forward to participating in the 2023 SASA Merit Exhibition in Cape Town!
Kirstenbosch is always a wonderful venue in which to view original artworks by so many local South African artists! 🌸

On a routine check-in, touching base with staff before dinner service.

Reporting back to the owner that all is well in his absence.

Peace of mind.

A perfect match!
Peace of mind!

Taking care of an historical monument from 1802 takes a careful eye, and I have been entrusted with this auspicious task!

One of our most beautiful Swellendam guest houses has asked me to make regular inspection stop overs while the owner is overseas for the next several months.
So happy to be able to assist!

While checking on the location of the all-Important water meters, we discovered the casing was full of rain water. We scooped the water out to ensure that meter was not running or leaking.
Now we know to keep a regular eye out!

Hello from Personal Property Services, Swellendam! 🌸

Having recently settled in Swellendam, I thought to re-establish my working company, Personal Property Services, which I established in 2014 when living in Scarborough, Cape Town.

Understanding that one’s property is one’s largest asset, I am dedicated to preserving and caring for your property on site, in your absence.

Here is a little of my background experience:

• 6 years of property management in the Western Cape

• 7 years of experience as a successful owner –manager of a boutique beach lodge in East Africa; understanding urgency and always an eye for detail

• With a previous career history of 16 years in the interior décor trade, esthetics are always an equal priority to good maintenance

• Knowing where to look for problems i.e. electrical, plumbing, damp, insect invasions, woodwork, linen maintenance, kitchen and bathroom upkeep

• Understanding the effects of weathering

• All services are tailored to individual needs

If you would be interested in further information, kindly contact me:
