Since then, starting with our own three personally owned properties we have grown, managing a unique exclusive selection of 1 to 4 bedroom properties. We now look after 24 properties and, unlike other companies, solely work in De Waterkant preferring to concentrate in one area and taking care of homes that fit our high standards. We are a small team of friendly professionals and we, the owners also live in the area and have direct vested interest in helping to retain the village charm of this location that is so close to the city center.
