About Us
We are Pixie, Ian, and our children Pippa and Finn, a rather international family with seven passports between us. You may also meet Odi, our much-loved dachshund, and Twilight, our sleek black panther-lookalike cat, as well as Dingo who is part dachshund & part Aussie Cattle Dog.Ian and Pixie met in the Cayman Islands, where a shared love of hospitality, wellness, and adventure first brought us together. From there, our journey took us on a trip through Southern Africa and then to northern Mozambique, where we opened and ran a lodge, restaurant, and dive centre for 12 years. It was during this chapter that we became engaged, later married in the UK, and eventually welcomed both our children in South Africa.Afterwards, we spent seven years in the UK (Ian’s home country), continuing to run our Mozambican business remotely while also opening a smoothie bar and health café, alongside growing a yoga and wellness practice. Between us, we bring over 60 years of experience in hospitality and wellness, all shaped by a deep love of people, place, and purposeful living.We have recently returned to South Africa and feel truly grateful to now call Plettenberg Bay home. Creating a space where others can rest, reconnect and feel at ease, is at the heart of what we do, and we’re delighted to share this special place with you.
