Since joining Etnika in January 2026, Nicolene has embraced the daily challenges of management as opportunities to think creatively and find solutions, while her deep love of nature and wildlife continues to inspire her journey towards becoming increasingly conservation-focused. 🦒🌿 Her belief that understanding nature is the beginning of protecting it is beautifully reflected in her work — and her advice to young women is simple: “Consistency.” Believe in what you want to achieve, keep working towards it and persevere.
For Patience, who joined Etnika in April 2025, hospitality is about commitment, hard work and creating a welcoming environment for guests. A proud mother of three daughters, she draws inspiration from her grandmother and believes women should be celebrated for the strength and courage they show in overcoming life's challenges. ❤️ And alongside her, Clementine — also part of the team since April 2025 — is building her future in hospitality, currently completing a short course in hospitality and general management. 🌱 She finds joy in Etnika's eco-friendly ethos and positive environment, and looks to Mam Lindah from Simbavati, a housekeeper since 2008, as an example of dedication and lifelong learning.
Three women. Three journeys. One shared spirit of hard work, learning, perseverance and care. This Women’s Month, we celebrate Nicolene, Patience and Clementine — and the important contribution they make to the Etnika Manor House family. 🇿🇦🌸✨
