HOW IT ALL STARTED
Our Love Story
Though our roots trace back to opposite ends of South Africa, Matthew from the misty hills and lavender fields of Pietermaritzburg, and Melicia from the purple Jacaranda-lined streets of Pretoria, our paths crossed in the most serendipitous of places: a small architectural firm in Nieuw Muckleneuk. Melicia was still studying, Matt had just completed his master’s, and what started as a quiet friendship blossomed into something beautifully unshakeable.

Four years (and many shared playlists, Johannesburg archi-trips, and a delicious number of foodie moments) later, life opened a new chapter for us in 2023, when we were both called to Dubai. Once again, we found ourselves sharing an office, this time as seasoned lunch buddies.

Our days are now filled with creativity, skyscrapers, and desert sun, but more importantly, a shared life built on deep friendship and faith.We’ve always been drawn to beauty — whether in the form of city skylines, nature trails, or soulful songs – but our greatest shared joy is the love we have for Jesus. It’s His steady hand that has woven our story together, and we are beyond excited for the adventure that lies ahead, with Him at the centre of it all.

Where to Stay
We recommend making your accommodation arrangements sooner rather than later for the best rates and availability.
Please see below list of recommended properties for you to contact directly.
Franschhoek and Stellenbosch areas are especially well known for their beautiful guesthouse accommodation, offering a more intimate and charming experience than larger hotels. Guesthouses are very popular in the Cape Winelands and often provide a more personal and relaxed stay, so we encourage guests to consider these wonderful options when booking.
