It's with very sad hearts that we announce the closing of Soetdoring Airbnb and Guest house.
But before we go we want to sincerely thank each and every one of our amazing guests for affording us the opportunity to welcome you to Soetdoring. Your valued support was and remains so appreciated!
Thank you to my wonderful Airbnb partner and sister Jo-Anne Aviv for always believing in my vision and encouraging me to push through and achieve the goals set! All your efforts, personal touches and thought put into this project played a major role!
To the incredible team - managers Gerhard Engelbrecht and Dalene Engelbrecht, and the entire Soetdoring staff, Cecilia, Winnie, Lolly, Kelsey, Robert, Emanuel, Elias, Abel, Tinashe, Jan, Bernett and Mawilly, that helped set up this venture with me - You have kept the standards high and the reviews 5 star since 2019 ! Thank you does not suffice! I am eternally grateful for your dedication and efforts!
To Luci De Gouveia, my dear friend, who just so happens to be an outright amazing interior decorator, along with my very talented daughter Lia De Gouveia who has an eye for detail and design, you both ensured every possible decor and comfort element was seen to! Thank you muito!
To Thomas Smit our Pigeon guru, and his wonderful wife Elaine, Thank you for all that you are and all that you do!
To my horse Whisperers Hannah and Jess, thank you for overseeing the equine part of Soetdoring! And for keeping the herd healthy and happy!
To my darling husband Savvas, all my precious children, Perry, Jess, Elli, Tammi, Daniel, Amy, Lia, Josh, Hannah and Matt, plus my dear friends Cheli and Yosi, you are all always my biggest cheerleaders! You are my power source! Thank
you!
I love you all and I have loved our Soetdoring adventures together. Reading the many reviews about the joy that this special place brought to our guests was my soul food.
This farm was a place that both my late parents Gigi and Molly Gaddin loved dearly. I'm bidding farewell with quite a broken heart but stepping into a new space armed with their 'turn every no into a yes' persistance, love for life and people, and no fear approach to tackling new opportunities.
Sleep soundly dear ones. ❤️ New adventures await!
I will treasure all these memories always.
Until next time!
