Experience Garden Route

Bernadette's story

The story behind Experience Garden Route ♥️
Experience Garden Route began as a little idea in 2019, alongside our deep-cleaning business, which was our original venture.
But when COVID arrived, the world slowed down, and suddenly the freedom to explore, travel and enjoy the outdoors was limited. Instead of putting our creativity on hold, we found a way to bring the world to us. With a green screen in our garage, we started experimenting with video, even pretending to be in Paris!
What started as a bit of fun quickly grew into something much bigger. We began dreaming up ways to showcase the beauty, hidden gems, local businesses and unique experiences our region has to offer. While our deep-cleaning business continued, Experience Garden Route found its own direction — turning our creativity and love for discovery into a platform that connects people with places, experiences and the stories behind them.
