The People Behind the Platform
Elandsbaai Stays is run by community members — not investors, not algorithms, not distant shareholders.
Kobus Meiring
Platform Lead
The technical backbone. Kobus built the booking engine, payment integration, and interactive map. A surfer who decided Elandsbaai deserved better than Airbnb.
[Community Manager]
Community & Operations
The face of the platform. Coordinates between property owners, service providers, and guests. Makes sure every visitor feels like a guest of the village, not a booking number.
9 Miles Coaches
Youth Development
The heart of our mission. Local youth trained as surf coaches, property managers, and guest concierges. They're not employees — they're the next generation of Elandsbaai's tourism leaders.
Property Owners
The Backbone
The local families who opened their homes. From beach cottages to full houses — they chose to list here instead of (or alongside) global platforms, keeping the value local.
