Our Founder
Katherine Blewett — Founder & Director
With over ten years in luxury hospitality, asset management, and entrepreneurship, Katherine brings a rare combination of operational mastery and aesthetic sensitivity.
Having worked for some of the world’s most influential tech founders and global families, she carries a deep understanding of what true service, privacy, and trust look like at the highest level.
Her time living in Monaco, managing a private island in the Bahamas, and travelling through key design and hospitality capitals around the world shaped her belief that management should feel as beautiful as it is efficient.
“I wanted to improve the way Airbnbs are managed — to bring design, soul, and five-star precision into an industry that had become transactional.”
— Katherine Blewett
A New Standard
of Property Management
Wildhuis was founded to redefine how Airbnbs and private homes are managed — blending design integrity, world-class hospitality, and operational precision.
Born by the coast and shaped by a decade spent living and working across the world’s most exclusive destinations, Wildhuis brings an elevated, intelligent approach to home management — one built on beauty, trust, and experience.
ABOUT US
OUR STORY
The vision for Wildhuis began long before the brand existed — formed through years spent at the intersection of luxury, logistics, and lifestyle.
Founder Katherine Blewett built her career managing yachts, assets, operations, and guest experiences for tech billionaires from Silicon Valley and Ultra-High-Net-Worth families around the world.
Having lived in Monaco and the South of France, Katherine learned the standards of service and discretion that define the upper tier of global hospitality. She later launched her first company, Boatique, a luxury marketplace serving yachts and five-star hotels globally — connecting elite properties to premium suppliers.
Her work has taken her to over 60 countries including places like Tulum, Cabo San Lucas, Bora Bora, the Philippines, the Amalfi Coast, and even a private island in the Bahamas, where she helped oversee operations, staff, and guest experiences.
Each destination shaped her understanding of how design, systems, and service can come together to create something timeless.
Wildhuis is the culmination of that journey — a way to bring global hospitality home to South Africa.
