About the host
Hosted by Sharon Davidge
Whilst on holiday during a wine tasting at Groot Constantia, my husband & I spotted Buitenzorg in the distance. We agreed “Wouldn't it be so incredible to live there?"
After a decade of waiting, and then a bidding war (it was a passion purchase), I stepped down from my role as Global CEO of a creative agency, to focus my energies on restoring Buitenzorg.
Today, our family loves sharing this wonderful slice of heaven with charming guests from all four corners of the world.
