About the host
Hosted by Masana Sangweni

My name, Masana, means Sunshine in Xitsonga—and just like sunshine, I believe my purpose in life is to energize, warm hearts, brighten days, bring people together, and of course, make flowers bloom.
I’m a passionate hotelier and event curator based in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal. After years in the hospitality industry, I brought a lifelong dream to life by opening Pleasant Places — a serene countryside guesthouse designed to offer rest, reconnection, and beautiful memories.
I genuinely love creating warm, thoughtful spaces where guests feel cared for. Hosting allows me to share the magic of the Midlands with others, while also learning from the wonderful people I get to meet.

The Midlands Meander is a tapestry of rolling hills, charming artisan stops, and hidden gems waiting to be explored. I love the sense of calm that settles over you as you drive through scenic country roads, discover local creatives, and sip a cappuccino or bubbly overlooking lush gardens. It's a place where time slows down — ideal for those seeking inspiration, connection, or just a moment to breathe.
What makes this property unique
Pleasant Places is more than just a guesthouse — it’s a countryside retreat where guests arrive as strangers and leave feeling like family.
Nestled in nature, the property offers peaceful gardens, cozy and stylish rooms, and curated experiences like outdoor movie nights, al fresco spa retreats, and bubbly brunches. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make your stay feel personal, restful, and memorable.
