About Us
Garden of Eden Homes is a small property and guest management business based in the Garden Route. We work with holiday home owners who are not always on-site, helping with hosting, guest care, and looking after holiday homes.
Our focus is making property management simple, relaxed, and stress-free — while ensuring guests feel welcome, supported, and comfortable.
Garden of Eden Homes was started by Sabrina Beswick, based in George, South Africa. Sabrina grew up in a guesthouse environment where hospitality became a natural part of life. She has experience in guesthouse management, bookings, administration, guest communication, and daily operations.
Her approach is hands-on, organised, and reliable, with a strong focus on care and consistency.

Explore Our Coastline
Click any destination to discover what to do, see and explore — from surf breaks to whale watching.
Victoria Bay is one of South Africa's most beloved surf spots — a tiny, sheltered cove nestled between forested cliffs, just minutes from George. Despite its small size it punches well above its weight for activities and beauty.
Wilderness is a haven for nature lovers — a UNESCO-listed network of lakes, lagoons, rivers and estuaries stretching along a dramatic coastline. Peaceful, lush and utterly beautiful.
George is the largest city on the Garden Route and the perfect base for exploring the region. Backed by the Outeniqua Mountains and fronted by the Indian Ocean, it offers world-class golf, adventure and culture.
Knysna is the jewel of the Garden Route — a picturesque town nestled around a famous lagoon, flanked by the iconic Heads and surrounded by ancient indigenous forest. Utterly magical.
Sedgefield is South Africa's only official Slow Town — a place deliberately designed to be unhurried, mindful and deeply connected to its natural environment. Perfect for those seeking total peace.
Plettenberg Bay — simply "Plett" to locals — is the Garden Route's premium coastal destination. Award-winning beaches, dolphins year-round, whales in season and a buzzing restaurant and nightlife scene.
Mossel Bay is the western gateway to the Garden Route — a historic harbour town with a rich maritime past, excellent diving, year-round dolphins and the famous Bartolomeu Dias Museum Complex.
Mazeppa Bay sits on the untouched Transkei Wild Coast — one of South Africa's last truly wild stretches of coastline. No tourist crowds, no development — just the Indian Ocean, rolling hills and the call of the wild.
Guest Stories
The beach house was beautiful, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a fantastic holiday. There is no better view! We woke up to the sound of waves every morning. Highly recommend.
The views are captivating and I managed to spot a few dolphins as well. The studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view is well worth the trip, and I'll definitely be returning!
The location, cottage and stunning views make the road to Mazeppa Bay 100% worth it. Located right on the sea front with beautiful views of the ocean, grassy hills and Mazeppa Bay island.
