The People Behind
Every Great Experience
SeaSky is a small, deeply committed team with a singular focus: ensuring that every moment spent in Cape Town feels exactly as extraordinary as it should.
OUR PURPOSE
How It Started
SeaSky was born from genuine frustration. The most beautiful homes on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard were being listed alongside everything else, treated as commodities, and managed by people who had never spent a single night in them.
We believed there was a far better way. A smaller, more considered approach where homes were chosen by hand, guests were welcomed with genuine warmth, and the entire experience, from the very first message to the last morning, felt as though someone had truly thought it through.
So that is what we built. Not a platform. Not a portfolio. A curated collection and a team that cares deeply about every single stay within it.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
What We Believe
Location is everything.
We operate exclusively on the Atlantic Seaboard because we genuinely believe there is nowhere more extraordinary to wake up. Every property in our collection was chosen with that conviction at its core.
Personal always trumps perfect.
We'd rather know your name, your preferences, and what makes a great stay for you than have a flawless process that feels like nobody's home. The human touch isn't a feature for us — it's the whole point.
The details are never small.
From the smallest detail to the biggest request, our team springs into action instantly to make sure nothing is overlooked. Whatever you need, consider it handled with care and speed.

THE TEAM
The Faces of SeaSky
We are not just a team working together towards the same goals, we are family.
The visionary and blaze behind the business. Esta-Marita brings a unique energy, leadership and operational prowess to the table that has seen her business grow from strength to strength, while successfully navigating the ever changing tourism landscape with a grace and confidence that outshines the rest. Esta-Marita has a background in yoga teaching and is also a reiki master. This has taught her how to keep wise and calm under the most intense pressure – which is basically every day in this job! With a keen eye for detail, combined with her unconventional approach to business, Esta-Marita is a force to be reckoned with.
Our incredible Hezron manages a sizeable portion of our luxury portfolio. Although he was born in Nelspruit, he grew up in Malawi, also known as ‘The Warm Heart of Africa’, and it shows. Hezron delights our guests from near and far with his humble, dedicated and hands-on service approach. Making our guests feel welcome is a great joy for Hezron, who has been one of SeaSkys’ pillar members for many years. In addition, Hezron also manages our large casual housekeeping team with effortless efficiency. He is a great asset to our tight-knit hospitality and villa management team.
Banco, our newest property manager, comes from the warm heart of Africa, Malawi – and it shows! He’s been part of SeaSky Villas for over a decade, serving our guests and team with absolute dedication, precision, and care. Banco has an incredible charm with people, making him an exceptional guest liaison. In addition, he has a keen eye for detail, making him an ideal person to handle our quality control inspections. SeaSky Villas is synonymous with flawless quality at every level, so this is a function we deem to be extremely important. Banco loves his wife and children and enjoys watching car racing with his son.
Tarryn plays a vital role in supporting Esta-Marita by handling various business functions, such as devising marketing strategies, account reconciliations, conducting property inspections, and nurturing relationships with property owners, guests, and suppliers. Her positive demeanour, sense of humour, and disciplined approach fosters a strong team dynamic at SeaSky, while her passion for her job drives her commitment to making SeaSky the very best villa management company in the country. Additionally, Tarryn oversees all maintenance of the properties, ensuring they are kept in pristine condition and meet 5-star standards from both a décor and structural point of view.
Kwazulu-Natal born & bred Kerry-Ann comes from a strong hospitality and safari background but most recently specializing in the niche luxury villa rental market. This makes her the perfect person to manage all our reservation enquiries with flair and panache! With her heart always following the coast, Kerry-Ann moved to Cape Town several years back – and we could not be happier! She thrives under pressure and has a keen understanding of what the discerning villa rental guest would expect, delivering on those needs swiftly. She is a fantastic team player and collaborates well with other departments to ensure guest needs are met beyond expectation.
His big and tough exterior belie his truly kind inner beauty. SeaSky relies heavily on Ozzy to meet our ever growing demand for hands-on construction, repairs, servicing and world-class maintenance. He joined the SeaSky team in 2013 in a part-time capacity, but his presence within the business quickly developed into a full-time role. This has not always been the line of work that Ozzy has been involved in. Ozzy hung up his suit and tie from managerial roles at the likes of the 12 Apostles Hotel, The Cape Grace and The Table Bay Hotel, bringing with him to SeaSky a wealth of hospitality experience. He is someone who understands the level of service it takes to stay at the top of your game!
The vivacious Neenu joined our SeaSky team as the passionate boss of accounting. She makes numbers a breeze – uncomplicating the complex. Born in King Williams Town, Neenu is the 1st generation of her small family in South Africa. After dominating her studies at UCT, she worked at Haak Fourie Snyman, which gave her invaluable experience in the world of accounting. Outside of her SeaSky Villa activities, she loves to spend time outdoors at the beach, hiking and swimming. Gym time, puzzles, board games, and simply hanging out with her friends really spark her joy.

Why Every SeaSky Home Feels Different

That shared conviction is felt the moment you walk through the door.
