Hi, I’m Philippa (Philly)
I live in sunny Durban with my two young children and have always been passionate about travel and hospitality. My journey began by Airbnb’ing my own home, driven by a love for meeting new people and embracing the spirit of mi casa, su casa.
Having spent many years abroad, I’ve built a trusted network of international and local clients who rely on Happy Host to find exceptional stays for their travels.
Today, through Happy Host, I manage a carefully curated portfolio of homes across South Africa. With a dedicated team on the ground in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, we offer hands-on, personal service to each property we take on, ensuring both homeowners and guests have the best possible experience.
