A Warm Welcome Awaits

As you arrive, a private driveway leads to a large compound with parking space for up to 3 vehicles. A second pathway takes you straight to the backyard garden — ideal for evening strolls or weekend barbecues.

Step inside and be greeted by a spacious lounge area, flooded with natural light from large windows that frame views of the beautifully maintained garden. A fireplace at the heart of the room creates a warm atmosphere, while a bookshelf invites avid readers to unwind. Music lovers will especially enjoy the full-sized piano, making this space feel truly personal and lived-in.

Cook, Dine & Entertain

Adjacent to the lounge is the dining area, a charming space overlooking a vintage-style verandah adorned with African antiques. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for home cooking, including a six-burner cooker, microwave, dishwasher, and a complete set of cutlery and cookware. Start your morning with French-press coffee made in a cafetière.
