The rooms are generous, and the reception areas are comfortable, but where does one start when there is so much beauty and thoughtfulness to describe? The kitchen, you start with the kitchen.

It is always great when two creative minds come together and make magic which started with the kitchen. Textures, patterns, and functionality make this space what it is. Everything was meticulously planned and executed, from the large SMEG gas cooker in front of a big stack slider window to the terracotta klompie brick in herringbone lay on the floor that flows out to the covered entertainment area and pool. Separate scullery on the side.

There are two more bedrooms and two more bathrooms, one en-suite. Generosity is key.

The lounge and dining room are open and there is a very capable wood-burner fireplace to take care of business in the cold highveld winters.
