My journey with Red Carnation Hotels began more than 15 years ago at The Rubens Hotel in London. I returned home to join The Twelve Apostles in 2006 and it is now my honour and privilege to lead this exceptional team. I am also so proud to be the Managing Director of Red Carnation Africa, leading our three other hotels on this continent - The Oyster Box, Bushmans Kloof and Xigera Safari Lodge. If I can personally do anything to make your experience even more special, please do let me know.
