Owner & Founder

Sanmare Koekemoer

Launched in July 2021 during the COVID lockdown, she grew the business from a side hustle into a flourishing enterprise managing nearly 50 properties across Gansbaai and Pearly Beach.

In June 2022, following the birth of her first child, Sanmarie left her full-time job to fully embrace her roles as a stay‑at‑home mom and entrepreneur. 

 

Quality time with friends and family is at the heart of her life, and it’s this deep value that inspires her to create welcoming spaces where guests can reconnect and make lasting memories.
