Company information

Born in Nelspruit, Mpumulanga I came to Johannesburg in 1992 to study Hotel Management. After a few years in the Hotel industry I spent the next 10 years in Interior Decorating. After leaving the big smoke for a small seaside village, Paternoster, we build up a successful Boutique Guest House. After 11 years it was time to get back in the rat race of Johannesburg where begins my next chapter: B&B on Buckingham. Come and enjoy the journey with me!

Our house is fully operational with SOLAR POWER so we are not affected by load shedding! We are the perfect stay over for your business needs.
