MEET THE HEART BEHIND THE SMILE – ASANDA
Some people work in hospitality, and then there are those who make hospitality truly special.
Today, we would love to introduce you to our wonderful Asanda, who has been part of the De Old Drift Guest Farm family for the past few years.
As our Front of House team member and Assistant Manager, Asanda is an absolute gem. She approaches everything she does with such care, dedication and incredible attention to detail. She takes pride in her work and always goes the extra mile to make sure every guest feels welcome, comfortable and right at home. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her!
And then there is that big, beautiful, infectious smile! It is one of the things that makes Asanda so special. Her warmth, kindness and willingness to help shine through in everything she does, and her smile has a way of making people feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here is how Asanda describes her passion for hospitality:
“My name is Asanda, and hospitality is truly my passion. My big, beautiful smile represents the love I have for what I do.
Creating memorable experiences that make our guests feel welcome and at home brings joy and fulfils my heart.”
Born in Port Elizabeth, Asanda is also a proud mommy to a beautiful nine-month-old baby boy, who is undoubtedly her biggest little blessing.
Thank you for being YOU, Asanda. Keep shining, keep smiling and keep making a difference, one guest at a time!
