Online accommodation booking platform for South Africa and Namibia
LekkeSlaap operates a travel marketplace connecting guests with thousands of accommodation properties across South Africa and Namibia. The stack is traditional eCommerce (PHP/Laravel, React, MySQL, Redis, Nginx) with recent infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform, Docker, Nomak, Consul, Vault), suggesting infrastructure maturity work. Hiring has slowed significantly—only 1 role posted in the last 30 days—while current focus is internal (training initiatives for property owners, customer service improvements, communication clarity).
LekkeSlaap is an online travel agency founded in 2013, offering search and booking for guesthouses, lodges, B&Bs, hotels, self-catering units, resorts, and camping across South Africa and Namibia. The company operates as a marketplace model: property owners list inventory, guests discover and book accommodations, and LekkeSlaap handles the transaction and customer support. Based in Cape Town with 51–200 employees, the business is structured around engineering, customer support, and operations. The company is part of Tripco.
Backend: PHP, Laravel, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, Nginx. Frontend: React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Infrastructure: Docker, Terraform, Nomad, Consul, Vault, GitHub Actions. Also uses Python and C++.
