Timeless elegance stretched over 12,000 m2

The stylish country house with its outbuildings is one of the oldest buildings in the city and has been declared a South African national monument. It has been perfectly restored and still has the original floors, ceilings and thick walls of construction in 1801. The 'estate' covers 12,000 m2, full of lush grounds, park-like landscaped gardens, a secret forest, vegetable & herb gardens, a large swimming pool, soothing fountains, a koi pond and fragrant rose and lavender paths.
Modern colonial chic with a contemporary edge and French flair
The courtyards are home to lush gardens surrounded by native trees and ancient oaktrees. The timeless elegant architecture of the building has been the starting point for the interior, resulting in a sober, spacious but bold décor, modern colonial chic with a contemporary edge and French flair.
