Dr Chris Nagel | Germany
“I’ve been working with Esta-Marita and her agency SeaSky Villas for six years now, and from day one I’ve only had positive experiences. Besides the fact that Esta is a great person with a good humour, on a professional level her service and the work of her team are impeccable. She really offers complete service on every level needed, whether it comes to renting out our villa to fixing minor problems without even bothering us with details; the communication is always quick, we never have to wait longer than half an hour for a reply. Also, her monthly records are always on time, very detailed and reliable. The communication between her and our tax accountant could not be better, he said SeaSky is by far the best management company he works with. She also handles all the payments regarding the villa, from insurances to gardening and pool service, and she helped us finding Zozo, our wonderful domestic worker who has been working for us for almost five years now and is the heart of the villa. She certainly offers the complete package and we never regretted giving our house into her hands!” – HELY HORIZON OWNER

Esta-Marita Opperman
FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
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.
Elijah Nkhoma
PROPERTY MANAGER
Proudly introducing Elijah, all the way from beautiful Malawi. He is Esta-Marita’s right-hand man and has helped her build the business from the ground up as of day one. With years of brilliant, all round villa management experience under his belt, Elijah continues to shine, grow, and provide world-class hospitality to our esteemed guests from all over the globe. A finer gentleman you will never find. He is humble, shares his success with his dedicated team, and takes responsibility and service excellence to new heights.
Hezron Wadamu
PROPERTY MANAGER
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 Banda
PROPERTY MANAGER
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 Manderson
OPERATIONS MANAGER
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 foster 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.
Kerry-Ann Crous
RESERVATIONS MANAGER
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.
Ozzy Ismail
MAINTENANCE MANAGER
His big and tough exterior belie his truly kind inner beauty. Esta- Marita 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!
Neenu Babu
ACCOUNTANT
The vivacious Neenu joins 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.
