We had an amazing open day, non - withstanding the rain. People came with their umbrellas and raincoats!

It is Worldbook Day. Background story to this delightful picture. It is AI generated from a photo of 2 of our grandchildren. Reading their books in the late afternoon sun. Go to the Naledi Website. Buy Guesthouse Life for yourself and browse around and buy your grandchildren a children's book. And as a newly published writer I would like to thank Naledi for giving first timers a chance.

Guesthouse Life is more than a memoir—it’s a journey through hospitality, heritage, and the hard-won wisdom of a life poured into people and place.

From restoring Fairview to growing roses and serving guests with grace (and grit), Philda Benkenstein tells it all—with honesty, humour and a whole lot of heart.

Perfect for lovers of country living, stories with soul, and anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to create a haven.

Order your copy today and step into the stories behind the scenes.

Fairview has evolved into an artist retreat 😀 Autumn colours are gradually appearing, accompanied by a refreshing nip in the air.
