OUR STORY
Grown from a shared love for authenticity and quiet presence, STILL Karoo is an extension of its founders, Bronnie and Tara – their warmth, their hospitality and the incredible community they build wherever they settle.
A South African chef, Bronnie has a deep love of good food, the shared conversations over meals and simple, clean living. Cheffing in Michelin starred restaurants, also as a private chef, as well as on superyachts around the Mediterranean– which is where she met her partner in adventure, business and life, Tara – Bronnie has an incredible knowledge of world cusines and luxury dining.
A captain and explorer at heart, Tara is fluent in many languages, learnt while living and immersing himself in multiple cultures and communities around the world, spanning Morocco to France and Spain to Holland.
In recent years, the couple fell in love with, and settled in Oneglia – a quiet seaside town in northern Italy, where they established STILL-Italy. Leaning into their collective experience of high-end hospitality, the couple were able to design a space that offered guests a peaceful stay, intentionally emphasising simplicity and authenticity.
