Running a guesthouse in George's landscape means contending with the Outeniqua mountains and the seasonal shifts that come with the Southern Cape. Farm & Fellow sits within that reality—managing summer visitors during peak season when the Garden Route fills, and adjusting rhythms entirely for quieter months. The work involves understanding how winter rainfall affects guest comfort and outdoor plans, maintaining properties through load shedding challenges with backup power systems, and knowing when the garden actually looks inviting enough for morning walks. It's logistics: coordinating laundry and breakfasts for rotating guests, managing bookings across multiple platforms, and keeping the place welcoming whether you're hosting a couple for a long weekend or a family for two weeks.
