Why wait?
“We were always waiting for more time. More time to see each other. More time to see our friends. More time to see our family. We were always waiting for long weekends, vacations and quiet time. We were even looking forward to our retirement! But things never changed. Our lives never seemed to slow down. Until that one day when we decided to change things ourselves and to do it while we were still young and full of energy!”
 Katarina is originally from the northern part of Sweden while her husband, Peter, is from the South. They are both determined and strong willed individuals as Peter is a cyclist and Katarina a cross-country skier. They do not shy away from challenges!
Peter used to work in the clothing industry where he used to run his own company. Katarina was part of the tourism and travel industry and used to make the decisions in big and mid sized companies. Their jobs required also a lot of travelling which enabled them to meet lots of different people and to experience a lot of interesting and diverse cultures. They’ve lived in Austria, Spain and the USA.
“We are very keen on good food and wine so one day we decided to stop just talking about doing something different. We actually took the leap! We bought a guest house in South Africa!"
Today we still work with and meet lots of interesting people. We love to share our experiences and tips about travelling in South Africa. Something which we have been doing a lot of since 2000. We now see each other every day and allow ourselves to take long lunches at wine estates or go mountain biking! We’ve found our small jewel- The Beautiful South Guesthouse in Stellenbosch. And now we also have found a Cape Dutch styled Guesthouse in Somerset West. What a wonderful life!
We took over the first guest house in January 2007 and it was an incredible season! This has prepared us for the busy high season that lies ahead. During the quieter seasons we’ve had the opportunity to find more restaurants, wine estates and fun activities to recommend to our guests. We are looking forward to meeting you, to sharing our time and experiences, to give our hospitality and service or just a friendly smile!
We and our team welcome you to The Beautiful South & West Guesthouse! We are here to spoil you. Enjoy!”
Peter and Katarina
