Bobbejaanskloof, Plettenberg Bay

Amoungst foothills

On the edge of Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route, hidden amongst the foothills of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, Bobbejaanskloof is a magnificent property at the heart of a dramatic private wilderness featuring indigenous fynbos, old forests and sweeping plains. And yet, just a ten-minute drive away, Plettenberg Bay offers everything you’d expect from one of South Africa’s most sophisticated, and popular holiday spots.

Gods Window, Swellendam

Here grand

Ayodele lies Constantia is a rather gracious area half way between the west and east coast beaches of the Peninsula, peaceful and stylish, brimming with wine farms, top restaurants and designer shops. It is where gin and tonics are served on the veranda at the end of the day and Labradors grace lush rolling lawns.

It is here, set in a truly magnificent garden amongst exotic palm trees, frangipani, agapanthus, strelitzia, lemon trees and herb gardens that the rather grand Ayodele lies. Ayodele, Constantia

Hope House, Oranjezicht

Perfect Hideaways will quiz you on what you’re after, who you’re travelling with, what you love/hate, and then magic up the perfect fit, be it the ultimate beach house or a rambling Karoo farmstead. The running theme: every property is truly stylish, like an interiors-magazine cover shoot, but with you in it...

Stone House, Hermanus

Is there a hideaway in the world where you open your eyes and with a small adjustment of your down pillows, watch whales breaching from the cocooned warmth of your bed? Lie quite still and count the seconds between the giant swells of Walker Bay pushed by a strong north-easter Stone House, Hermanus

This is a place to unwind and let your days be governed by the moods of Langebaan Lagoon and the gentle rhythms of life in this West Coast hamlet. Beach life pared down to the glorious essentials, with not another soul in sight and only birdlife, buck and books for company. The perfect place for those who’ve mastered the art of simply being. Let this magical corner of a magical lagoon help you unwind, re-evaluate, recalibrate, and do some good for those less fortunate!

Sense of history

& magical

beauty

There remains in Croatia an authentic rawness which leaves travellers feeling they made a connection with the locals and experienced the real thing. This is certainly true for Lopud – a tiny island, under five square kilometres, which one traverses on foot or by bicycle. And it is here that we have uncovered a rather special home.

Restart & relax

There’s a delicious sense of being far removed from it all once ensconced at Casa Blu’, a loftily proportioned, contemporary take on the charming fisherman cottages so beloved of the region. It has the typical whitewashed walls, shuttered windows and wide, shady stoep, but with lots of clever details and immaculate styling thrown in for a look that manages to be both sophisticated and perfectly relaxed.

Casa Blu’, Dwarskersbos

Tankwa River Lodge, Karoo

Belle Vallée, Montpellier, France

Joie de Vivre Reminiscent of its roots, the revived farmhouse shares its medieval foundations with parasol pines, ancient olive trees, white rose bushes, rolling lawns, and over 700 lavender hedges. A young olive grove of 30 Lucques trees borders the vines and les bois that surrounds. Afternoons can be spent on the pétanque court or in the 17-metre swimming pool, that entices you in to its cooling waters where a good book can be enjoyed as you take shade beneath the parasol.

Kubili House, Thornybush Reserve

Saseka Tented Camps, Thornybush Reserve

Bespoke detailing Part Marrakech riad, part bush lodge, part New York in its soul, Kubili is set to rock the safari world. Yet despite the bespoke detailing and luxurious comforts, there’s something primal and grounding about Kubili and if you stay here long enough, you’ll find it hard to return to the real world.

Jacks Camp, Botswana

Karoo vistas Inspired by the wooden cabins of Northern Scandinavia, here is an incredibly stylish box built on the edge of a hill surrounded by rocky semi-desert. Made from sustainable Siberian Larch, it breathes in the sun – emitting a warm forest smell throughout winter and summer months.
