Company information

There are two things that are very dear to my heart, hospitality and development - and both revolve around a deep appreciation for people. Half of my day is dedicated to working as a human rights researcher and the remainder of the time I'm busy creating the best guest house in Johannesburg. I'm originally Serbian, but I grew up in Canada and then studied in England, and now I call South Africa home. I am committed to showing you a side of Johannesburg that will also make you want to stay :)
