Im a long-time friend and collaborator on Sandvika. While I work in Pennsylvania, I am originally from Nova Scotia Canada. I am closely involved in the care and long term vision of the property. Sandvika is a personal project started with trusted local partners, and the day-to-day hosting and on-site oversight are handled locally on Moon River. Together we focus on providing a well-considered, reliable and seamless experience for every stay.
