Company information

I am an artist and create colorful Meerkat and other art. I am laid-back and do not pretend to be the owner of a fancy 5 star place. I play guitar and sing and dress casually. I do everything in my guest house myself, including making beds, laundry, ironing, preparing meals and washing the dishes.....And I love it!
