Gary is the manager and owner of Sundown Manor and, with the help of an excellent additional manager, works to ensure that your stay in Cape Town will be memorable. He is on hand for advice on the best Cape Town restaurants as well as the various day trips and activities that are available. He and his family live on site which ensures that guests are always looked after.

Before beginning to remodel the private house that became Sundown Manor, Gary lived in Zimbabwe. He went to Prince Edward School, was in the Army and received his Tobacco Diploma from Blackfordby Agricultural College before farming in the Trelawney / Darwindale area of Mashonaland, Zimbabwe. His links to this country show in his continued support of the Zimbabwean Cricket team, who memorably beat Australia in the 2007 20/20 series, and in the guesthouses' support for the plight of the elderly in this beleaguered African Nation.

Felicity is Gary's wife and she manages a successful business which specializes in importing tires, primarily from Asian nations. She and Gary are long distance runners and plan to run the Two Oceans Half Marathon this year.
