About Me
Born in Cape Town to German parents, Christine dabbled in accountancy before - to use her memorable phrase - “the flame of my passion for hospitality was ignited”. She subsequently embarked on a series of globe-trotting adventures, mixing accountancy work with stints at various hotels and even landed up living on an island in Thailand.
But the natural beauty of Cape Town was always going to drag her back to Africa and on her return Christine threw herself wholeheartedly into tourism and now boasts 9 years of experience in the villa business. “I did everything from guest relations to overseeing housekeeping and property management” she explains, “and this is where I learnt how to provide a great service to holiday makers.”
Upbeat, optimistic and rarely without a smile on her face, Christine is a key member of the Cape Town Villas team - she doesn’t plan on leaving the Mother City any time soon, though snow boarding at Lake Tahoe is next on her list ...
Why I love Cape Town
“Years of living in grey drizzly London has made me appreciate Cape Town even more: not only does it have one of the most beautiful settings in the world (come and see it, it really has!) but Cape Town uniqueness always stands out - there’s simply nothing like it in Africa.
I love Cape Town’s white sandy beaches, its clear blue sky on a sunny day and the ever-sparkling ocean. You also have the natural world in the midst of a booming city: Table Mountain, with its ever-changing facade, always delights me and an hour’s drive out of the city takes you to different worlds.
There is always something to do in Cape Town and you’ll not find a happier and friendlier bunch of people than here in Cape Town - all this talk of a Rainbow Nation is true!”
Why choose a Cape Town villa
“Easy - so you can live like a local! There’s all the space and privacy you want plus you can splash in the pool and make as much noise as you want and then you have the luxury of having someone who comes in to clean up!
A Cape Town Villa is perfect for a family or group of friends and don’t forget that self-catering properties often work out cheaper than staying in a hotel.”
