As lifelong travellers ourselves, we understand how enriching it is to experience different cultures and perspectives. We’ve explored much of the world and love welcoming guests from every corner of it! Gooseberry Guest House is owned by Herman and Susan Berry, who have been in the hospitality industry for over 30 years. Our dedicated team has been with us for 15 to more than 30 years, ensuring guests feel truly at home. Susan initially decorated the guest house herself, filling it with her original paintings and carefully sourced furniture. Later, the space was beautifully renovated with the help of a skilled professional — blending personal charm with refined comfort. Susan is also passionate about hosting retreats for women at Gooseberry. You can find more about these on our website. The name Gooseberry is a heartfelt blend of Susan’s maiden name and their shared family surname, Berry. While Susan brings the creative vision, Herman is the steady left-brain behind the scenes, keeping everything running smoothly. We look forward to welcoming you and hope your stay is as inspiring and comfortable as the space itself.
