The Black House

Once entered into this old Victorian, you never want to leave. What unfolds behind the entrance is a style statement, yet full of warmth and bonhomie, where any traveler will marvel at creative elegance of the interior design. This home, transformed from its old Victorian original to an artistic, modern day Victorian charmer by an acclaimed interior designer, now exudes the finesse of its present owner and hostess, Els, who graciously will make sure your stay is enjoyable and relaxing. The house is surrounded by lush nature and serenity. An exotique garden is the backdrop to a blue plunge pool and spacious patio, the heart of the house, with its fireplace for braais and a comfortable oversize couch. This swanky oasis also has a well equipped kitchen which affords itself to hosting exquisite dinners. The calm of the morning is best spent on the old style porch with morning sun, the rippling fountain and a coffee.
