After a life shaped by travel, logistics and sailing adventures, Tom found something even more special: a forever home in Cape Town with Johanna.

Today, his warmth, love for people and wealth of experiences are part of every welcome at Apricot Gardens.

We look forward to welcoming you into their story. ๐ŸŒฟ

It begins with a chance meeting in Mallorca, a boat restored on weekends, and a quiet plan to build something of our own. Then a first visit to Cape Town changed everything. We found Apricot Gardens, packed our lives into a single shipping container, and on 1 November 2023, we began again โ€” above Gordon's Bay, where the mountain meets the sea.

Twenty-five years of hospitality led to this โ€” a home where every guest is welcomed like family, and where the dream we built together becomes a place for you to slow down.

We can't wait to welcome you too.

Behind every warm welcome at Apricot Gardens is a beautiful story. ๐ŸŒฟ

Johanna's journey has taken her across the world, from Switzerland to Abu Dhabi, Russia and Dubai. But it was meeting Tom in Mallorca that opened the door to their next adventure together.

That journey brought them to Cape Townโ€”where they now welcome guests with genuine warmth, thoughtful hospitality and a heartfelt sense of home.

Meet Johanna, the heart behind so many special moments at Apricot Gardens. ๐Ÿค

The best part of Cape Town isnโ€™t always the destination.

Sometimes itโ€™s the drive.
