I am a retired medic who has worked locally and abroad (New Zealand). As a native of KwaZulu Natal, I enjoy the peace and serenity of a farm life. I particularly like to share my many travels and culture with all our guests. What gives me great comfort is that our home not only offers peace and forest hikes but high armed security, making it a safe environment even for the lone traveler. I look forward to welcoming you to the ultimate farm hospitality at Serenity Cottages Richmond.
