ABOUT THE OWNER

I am the proud owner of four amazing guest houses in Laingsburg and I am thrilled to share my journey with you. Growing up on a picturesque sheep, cattle, and game farm in the heart of the Kalahari, I developed a deep connection to the land from an early age. After completing my education in Koes and Keetsmanhoop, I pursued my passion for teaching and obtained a Teaching Diploma in Wellington. Little did I know that my path would take an unexpected turn, leading me to the love of my life and into the world of hospitality.

In 1981, just two months after the devastating flood in Laingsburg, I married Wilhelm Theron, a ‘skaapboer’ or a ‘sheep farmer’. Together, we embarked on a journey filled with love, adventure, and the joy of raising our twin daughters and son.

As the years passed, I found my calling in education, teaching at the Ou Mure farm school, located a short distance from our farm. But life had more in store for me. In 1999, I took a leap of faith and started Josephskraal Guest Farm. The warm reception and positive feedback from our guests inspired me to expand, and soon Swartberg Street Guest House and Herambi followed in 2001 and 2005.

Nowadays, I devote my time and energy to running our guest houses as a full-time job. It brings me great joy to create a welcoming and unforgettable experience for every guest who steps foot onto our property.
