It's Nice To Meet You

Lovely to meet you!

I am Sunét van der Merwe and a Travel Counsellor based in Jeffreys Bay. Growing up in the Eastern Cape, I decided to venture to the Big City of Cape Town, where I lived for just over 10 years.

I decided to come back to the Eastern Cape to start a new chapter and I am really looking forward to starting this amazing journey. With clients all over South Africa, as well as UK, Ireland, Dubai, Belgium, Netherlands and Australia, I cannot wait to assist you with your dream holiday! I have been in the Travel industry for the past 16 years. I started off as a consultant in Port Elizabeth, and then proceeded to open up a brand new Retail office as Manager, and took it to great profits within it's first 3 months. I moved to Cape Town for a Product Development role, which I absolutely loved and this, in turn, opened up doors for me to work as a Sales Executive and New business Development Manager for a Tour Operator. Which brings it to the present day, where I am excited to take all of this experience and knowledge and assist my clients in the best possible way.

Being in the travel industry for quite some time, does mean that I have travelled a fair bit. My travels include skiing in Italy, as well as in the French Alps, cruising in the Mediterrean, best-snorkelling and swimming with Manta rays in the Maldives, screaming my lungs out on a tuk-tuk on the chaotic roads in India, tasting the best chocolate in Switzerland, being a kid again at Euro Disney, as well as Disney World, I have been to 4 different Clubmed's, 4 trips to Mauritius, marvelling at the majestic pyramids in Cairo, riding on a bicycle past a water buffalo in Vietnam, seeing a Broadway show in New York...endless amazing experiences....and believe me, there are still plenty on my list.

I am excited about travelling and believe that the more stories you have to tell and the more memories you have about amazing places, the better. Let me help you make that happen!

Please feel free to contact me for anything, how ever big or small, local or international.. I want to be part of creating these magical moments for you and your family!

Bush break @ Kuzuko Lodge

19 August 2018

As June was a crazy month packing up my life and moving down to the Eastern Cape, I was in need of a little down time. With uninterrupted views of the Winterberg mountains, and only 2 hours away from Port Elizabeth situated in the Addo Elephant National park, Kuzuko Lodge was the perfect choice for my little breakaway. What I liked about it was the casual atmosphere and the staff making you feel right at home from the minute you arrive. As soon as you go outside and stand on the deck, your view is over the mountains, valley and never-ending expanse of the Karoo, and you will soon understand exactly why it’s called the ‘Place of Glory’. The luxury chalets offer a private deck to watch those opulent sunsets, a lounge area with a sofa bed and satellite TV and a beautiful bathroom with a shower and bath to relax in. The deck, bar and restaurant offer stunning views and being a foodie, I can honestly say that you will enjoy the fantastic 5 Star authentic Karoo cuisine. Nature lovers… You can explore caves, bird watching, go on a guided nature walks, see the Big 5 on the morning and night safari’s, try your hand at fly fishing and even the kids are entertained with a jungle gym, and other indoor and outdoor activities. Corporates … If business is your aim and you are looking for a venue to host your next conference, then make use of their state of the art conference facilities with a beautiful backdrop of the Winterberg mountains. They offer day conference packages and can accommodate from 16 to 48 people, depending on the layout of seats. They can also assist with team building and can arrange events like “Amazing Kuzuko Race “, “Potjieos Cook off’ , “4 x 4 courses”, “ 4 x 4 trials “, “Wild fly fishing” or Themed dinners. Love is in the air…. If it’s romance you are after, why not book a couples massage in the on-site spa, or enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush after a morning game drive, or even a romantic candlelit dinner outside your room, on your private deck. Just ask the staff and they will gladly assist. Tying the knot… Kuzuko Lodge offers you the perfect venue to seal your love and commitment to one another. With traditional South African hospitality, blended with Karoo romance, you will be blessed with a beautiful wedding at one of the most intimate settings and breathtaking locations. They understand how important and special this day is to you, and they will make your dream come true. If you want a place that is “off the beaten track”, romantic, relaxing, great food and good value for money, then Kuzuko Lodge is the one for you. Please contact me if you would to spend a few days there, I will gladly assist and can tailor-make your dream experience.
