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.

It's a place where time slows down — ideal for those seeking inspiration, connection, or just a moment to breathe.

Pleasant Places is more than just a guesthouse — it’s a countryside retreat where guests arrive as strangers and leave feeling like family.
