Blue House
It’s well-known that the alluring little hamlet of Llandudno, Atlantic Seaboard, and its myriad shades of blue evokes Mediterranean seaside living at its very best. Its innate directive of barefoot strolling and alfresco feasting is the stuff of sweltering, hot summer days leading into nights and long, extended weekends. With its cordial community and secure […]

The White House
Regarded as one of the most enviable stretches of sand and surf in Cape Town, Atlantic Seaboard, between the pockets of Bantry Bay and Camps Bay, the gilt-edged cliffs of Clifton, cascade down into perfect little coves that cocoon the shoreline. Clusters of beautiful beach bungalows meet each other and disperse down narrow, winding pathways […]
Marrakesh House
Named after a British fishing vessel that ran aground after hitting an unchartered reef in 1826, the beautiful village of Britannia Bay straddles kilometers of undulating sand dunes along the West Coast’s golden mile.

Lemuria
Fact or fable there’s a story about a lost continent once existing in ancient times, that sank beneath the ocean floor and disappeared into oblivion. The discovery of lemur fossils in Madagascar and India suggested a land bridge between Africa and the Middle East, being the ancestral home of mankind. As mythical and mysterious as […]
Thorntree River Lodge
An eco-conscious, riverside haven on the shores of the Zambezi, Thorntree River Lodge is a contemporary tented camp just 20 minutes upstream from Victoria Falls in the heart of the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park near Livingstone. We’re always inspired by the talented Fox Browne Creative team, who have really worked their magic with these interiors with […]

The Space House
aaThe Space House hovers above the sand dunes of the famous Keurbooms beach, like a newly landed spaceship, elemental and full of hybrid vigour. This stonkingly-sculptured piece with its visual staccato is perfectly placed between sand dune, sky and sea. The horizon just a cuticle of pink. Designed by the famously outré adventure architects, Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens […]
Paula’s Cottage
Rocking gently in the hammock while watching hundreds of mesmerizing cormorants fish in circles at sea, I periodically dipped into The Little Book of Hygge. Waves washed in and out below me, the spring daisies bobbed their heads in the breeze … a pretty idyllic post-lunch pause in the day. Hygge, the Danes believe, ‘is […]
No 10
Nestled in the Franschhoek valley lies No 10, a luxurious yet welcoming family home. This gorgeous home is owned and has been decorated by a renowned international interior designer, who’s been featured numerous times in Andrew Martin’s iconic annual.

Boat House
I’ll be honest: The Boat House is so incredibly blissful that I had to be shoehorned out the front door so we could indulge in the myriad other pleasures offered by Plettenberg Bay. (It was the promise of sundown cocktails on the deck at Emily Moon that proved to be the magic charm.) The Boat […]

This home possesses a truly unique linear beauty, with an architectural dignity that pays quiet homage to the spectacular surrounding indigenous vegetation.
