There’s always luxury in a decorating style that rates over-scaled dimensions as one of its key elements. Palm House, an Englishman-in-Africa-style country house in Constantia, has it in bucket loads. Perhaps it’s the planters housing the banana trees – not just any banana trees, but enormous ones whose branches soar up to ceilings held aloft by gnarled, white-painted beams. They’re unexpected, as are the overly deep sofas and the sense of theatre that pervades the entire interior.

At Bobbejaanskloof everywhere you look, both in and out, there’s an elemental style to the materials chosen, from the rough roof beams to the latte ceilings, the polished elephant-grey cement floors to the Nguni hides dotted about on them. Baskets, wicker and riempie define the look of Bobbejaanskloof, as does the muted colour scheme. Everywhere there’s an obsession with nature, its textures and patterns. And there are scrubbed wooden bowls, brass lamps, raffia shades, heavy, handmade glass, armchairs dressed in rough linen slip covers – it’s that ‘I had a farm in Africa’ look, only this time it’s South Africa in the spotlight.

Dated to the 19th century, she’s a heritage building of course, but has had many incarnations. The original Oregon floors and nostalgic sash windows remain, alongside air-conditioning in all four, king bedded, en-suite bedrooms. Classic and contemporary attributes live harmoniously here against the backdrop of the Helderberg mountains.

Cowrie Cottage is an unlikely home on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast. It’s intimate and under thatch, and fits effortlessly into the surrounding coastal forest without disturbing the environment. An authentic African beach house it is, with décor reflecting a touch of White Mischief and a whole lot of Hemingway. This implies a thoroughly African cottage but with no rough edges. There are checkerboard bathroom floors and antique fittings, draped mosquito nets over beds and light shades reminiscent of fish traps, a few accents of kuba cloth and zebra hide are seen in ottomans and there’s plenty of crisp white linen swathing the queen beds.

This gorgeous cottage was love at first sight for us with its beautiful, luxurious décor. Once again Salome Gunter works her magic and turned an average summer cottage into a perfect hideaway. The previous owner was an artist, and many of his pieces grace the walls. Boulders Cottage has sea views all the way across False bay to Hangklip. Only the locals and the penguins know of this idyllic beach that is only 100m down the path. The colourful indigenous garden, courtyard and deck ensures privacy. Only half an hour from the centre of Cape Town for all your restaurants, harbour and wine estates. Fifteen minutes from the famous Cape Point reserve for wonderful hikes, bicycling, surfing and views. You can also walk to the vibrant naval town of Simonstown with its quaint restaurants and shops. A stellar shoot location in our eyes!

Location is everything when up the West Coast, and Azure quite possibly boasts one of the best positions directly on the beach, with what feels like your own private wooden walkway leading you onto the golden sand. Thoughtfully designed modern interiors, in chic tones of pale grey and soft pink to complement the grey floors, invite lounging about in easy, barefoot style.

Ayodele, meaning ‘joy has come home’ is a home for friends and family to both gather and be together but also has numerous smaller spaces both within the house and the extensive gardens to escape each other when needed. The light is extraordinary with double volume windows taking in the incredible, up-close mountain and sky views. It truly feels like you are in your own oasis even though you are close to all the hotspots and beaches. Ayodele is available for rental and a shoot location!

Built just over ten years ago, by South African architect Georg van Gass, God’s Window emerges from the emerald green rolling lawn, and pans out over one expansive level of glass, stone, cement, brick, and more glass. Firmness, commodity and light resonate inside and out, as the outside comes back in.

You approach the house over a low wall and enter the front courtyard that houses a boules court shaded by a giant Madagascan cedar. Over the threshold, you enter the true heart of the house, a double-volume courtyard, and a living area. You may look around and upwards but you cannot escape the instant pull of a 180-degree view of the bay. Should the wind pick up, it is here, sheltered by glass and stone that you will live and entertain. The one fireplace is topped by a massive yellowwood beam salvaged from a harbour.

A hop, skip and a jump down the palatial stairs of Le Jardin that lead from the voluptuous verandah, onto the kikuyu grass, stands the glass house. A monumental piece of artwork, if you will, this outdoor building, draws you in with her alluring, dreamy light, enticing you to plant yourself amongst the ferns, succulents, and dapples of shade from the tree that’s pierced its way through the glass ceiling above. There’s no escaping the vision.

22 Degrees East ‘lucked in’ to a couple both passionate about giving the farmstead, built in 1825, a 21st Century refurbishment, and she, Marielise van der Merwe, is an architect. They included a glass and aluminium wing, but retained its authentic framework that spoke of a time when buildings and their foundations were made to last a century. ‘We were determined to keep its soul,’ she says: so they retained the yellowwood flooring, ceilings and an Aga stove, which in homestead terms is the core of the house that remains warm day and night.

Situated beneath the Hawequa Mountains near Wellington, Boplaas Farm’s Manor House dates from 1890. It was here that we found so many of the things we love… a beautifully layered and detailed interior, classic pieces of antique furniture, slubby linen slipcovers in muted tones.

The house, called Emanzini, which in Xhosa means ‘On the Water’ lies close to the shoreline and is filled with a lambent light generated by sky and sea. An all-weather verandah opens up fully, creating a gorgeous, integrated area between the kitchen, dining room and verandah. With those incredible views it creates an effortless yet quite sensational entertainment space.

There are carefully considered arrangements, a feeling of order with no sense of formality at De Hoek. The walls are white parchment with soft, desaturated Karoo colours introduced in fabrics and rugs. Visit De Hoek more than once and you may find subtle additions – a new chair, a turn-of-the-century washstand or a Persian with just the right degree of fadedness.

The blue-roofed timber bungalow is a distinctive landmark sitting alone on a sandy point just south of the hamlet of Churchhaven. The interiors are rustic chic, with two bedrooms and a lovely deck that’s only a few paces from the beach. The sweep of white sand at your doorstep is effectively a private beach, never frequented by more than a handful of others from the distant cottages.

As you move through the house of Eikehof Farm, you’ll literally be walking across history. The floors are original yellowwood and Oregon, as are the heavy ceiling beams. Rooms are framed with rare and original single-panel yellowwood and stinkwood doors, and sash windows are shielded by internal wooden shutters. It’s a different world of grand proportions and symmetry, grace, and timeless Cape Dutch design, with mountain views from every window.

Langskuur – which means long barn in Afrikaans – opens its tall, exposed corrugated iron ceilings, rough wooden beams, raw redbrick walls and white-washed cement floors to reveal a renovation of romance, intrigue, heritage and honesty from farm pillar to post. An expansive space of antique collectables, family heirlooms and commissioned statement pieces of furniture embellish the rustic essence of the barn that’s discreetly partitioned into cosy pockets of placid occupation.For more info on Langskuurplease visit the link in our bio or contact:[email protected]#shootlocation #perfecthideaways #condenast#photoshoot #toplocations #southafricashootlocation#luxurylocation #location #photography#locationscouting #filmlocation#perfecthideawayslocations#shootwithperfecthiedaways #gardenroute #herbertsdale
