De Hoek
It’s hard to imagine that a house with such an elegant flow and balance, was once rundown and made so awkward from haphazard additions and ‘renovations’ over the decades that only a glimmer of De Hoek’s original sturdy framework still existed. And yet there was something in its proportion and potential that piqued the interest […]
Drakenskloof
It takes an extraordinary kind of place to stir up nostalgia so wittingly, without being too blatant about it. Rather furtively waking up that inner child who’s been wistfully waiting to run wild. A place that reminds us about our core values and why we hold them so close to our hearts. A place that […]
Lands End
So, we’re pretty confident that this is THE location to choose on laid-back Leisure Isle as Land’s End house is just that: a sophisticated beach house located right on the tip of the island with the most striking views of Knysna and The Heads. And of course, this ‘Land’s End’ is surrounded by calmer, infinitely […]
Moya’s Vineyard
The Hemel-en-Aarde valley is place renowned for its wines, set against the backdrop of its towering mountain ranges, rolling vineyards, flowing rivers and dams, cascading down onto farmlands where livestock roam the emerald and golden hilltops. The valley has its way of summoning you to a sense of belonging. A place where the horizons are […]

Kloof House
A treehouse located in Betty’s Bay in the Western Cape, Kloof House is a tranquil mountain retreat, for friends to gather in the Kogelberg Nature Reserve. There’s a resounding statement on sustainability etched into the timber of Kloof House. Evident in its circular form, meandering around the Kaapse boekenhout trees that mark their occupation of […]
Ayodele
Ayodele – I love living in Cape Town, it’s the place to be in South Africa. Constantia is a rather gracious area half way between the west and east coast beaches of the Peninsula, peaceful and stylish, brimming with wine farms, top restaurants and designer shops. It is where gin and tonics are served on […]
Koningsfontein
A River Retreat in the Countryside! Koningsfontein is a dreamy Garden Route getaway, on the banks of the GouKou River, upstream from the shores of Stilbaai, where the best family holiday memories are made. It’s a little bit like standing in front of a canvas, face to face with the works of J.H. Pierneef, when […]
Staart Farm
We have a real love of old farms and picture perfect country settings. On arrival I knew I was in for something special, Staart Farm, in the little known Paardeberg Mountains, is conveniently situated just an hour from Cape Town, or an hour from the fabulous restaurants and wine farms of Franschhoek. Big thick white […]
Kwaaiwater House
Dating back to the early 1920’s, prominently holding her presence on the meandering cliff paths of Hermanus for over a century, Kwaaiwater House acts as a sentinel to all those who pass her by. As if to mark the gradual evolution of the old fisherman’s village, over the decades. Where seaside dwellings, scattered along the […]
Azure
Azure, for me, describes not just a colour, but that light, joyous feeling of being by a bright blue ocean topped by bright blue skies. And this bright, fresh West Coast bolthole generates that same feeling. Even on the fringes of the Cape’s long summer period, and during chilly winter spells, the warm, sunny vibes […]

Summer Rose
Summer Rose – Bakoven is one of those tranquil pockets of paradise on the Atlantic Seaboard that dishes up a deluge of attributes. It’s one of those dreamy seaside destinations that positions itself well within the hub of the happenings, yet stealthily secludes itself from the chatter. Stretching along the curves of Camps Bay, directly […]
Saudade
Perched along the shoreline of Vilanculos, Mozambique, Saudade settles itself like a pearl upon the eternal expanse of azure, where dreamy seaside holidays are had. It’s apparent that the owners of Saudade – also owners of the neighbouring Vilanculos beach retreat, Villa Coco – know a thing or two about creating an utterly sublime sanctuary […]
Dawn Villa
The reputable property owners of Dawn Villa had a vision for their family, and how their home would be consciously stitched together like the finest tapestry of all time.
