Nerina Residence

Nerina’s name comes from the indigenous South African flower, Nerine Filifolia. This delicate, yet enduring, flower brings colour to the open grasslands and humid locations in the Eastern Cape, Transkei, Swaziland, Mpumalanga and the Free State. It takes three years for this bulbous to bloom for the first time during autumn – and likewise most Nerinas are rooted here in our precious home in Stellenbosch for about three years before they need to exit into the world and start to bloom in their respective careers. Nerina hosted our first residents in 1968 and today Nerina’s heart blooms with pride for our residence – an intentional and innovative home-away-from-home in the beautiful town of Stellenbosch. We stand for respect, integrity, Ubuntu and potential development. In this house, true to the roots of our name, Nerinas prosper and flourish.
