the finer things in life. The magnificent Cape Georgian house, set on the estate once owned by renegade
President Hermanus Steyn, has been restored to achieve a vibrant modern idiom on a site steeped in history.

before returning in the evening to enjoy tapas on the verandah in the warm light of the setting sun on
