This prestigious wine estate home with magnificent lagoon and mountain views, only an hour from Cape Town, boasts neighbours such as the famous Arabella Hotel and Golf Course, as well as the acclaimed whale watching points of Hermanus.
Set among vineyards, olive groves and lavender fields within a private nature reserve, this lucky family treasures the unparalleled lifestyle their holiday home has to offer.
Designed by the owners to maximise the pristine views of the lagoon and surrounding mountain ranges, this home lends itself to a relaxed lifestyle ideally suited to the natural environment.
A fine selection of informal decor items in light tones and contemporary styles was chosen specifically to create an ambience that maintains the bright and breezy holiday home feel, very much part of the interior designer’s brief from her client.
What stands out from both an aesthetic and practical perspective is the variety of floor finishes chosen to suit a typical holiday home, where superior quality but low maintenance is essential.
In the upstairs bedroom quarters no effort was spared in exposing the magnificent views that naturally provide brilliant light, enhancing the elegant white timber roof design.
Still, the most idyllic retreat of this wonderful home has to be the outdoor verandha and pool where its seamlessness with nature simply rejuvenates.
