Marianne always dreamed of starting her own eco-friendly luxury guesthouse and conference centre, and in 2004 found the ideal location in the tranquil paradise of Irene in Centurion. It took a further four years to make the necessary changes and investments before she was happy to open her doors. Says Marianne, “I spent over 10 years in Corporate Marketing and Event Management. My greatest joy is ensuring that my guests have a wonderful experience.”
