Westville
Laid out on the farm Westville and honouring the first British lieutenant-governor of Natal Martin West, Westville has a long history of residents seeking reprise from the muggy heat that dogs Durban during the summer WORDS: NICOLA JENVEY IMAGES: STEPHEN PILBROUGH, PAULO MENEZES & GOOGLE MAPS *Map not to scale

and private schools in the area, but also attracts young professionals, singles and the elderly who appreciate the quiet, peaceful environment.
Formerly an independent town with its own council, Westville lies 10km inland from the Durban central business district (CBD) and is now part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality.
“Westville remains KwaZuluNatal’s best kept secret with house prices offering outstanding value for money – as applicable today as it was when we bought here more than 50 years ago. We could purchase a large family house with an acre of ground for the price of a postage stamp property on the Berea where the neighbours complained about the noise,” resident Liz Horner says.
stablished in 1847, Westville’s first settlers were German immigrants who arrived the following year and the neighbourhood was proclaimed a borough in 1956. Today it encompasses a wide area and residents typically break down their area into Westville North, Westville Central, Dawncliffe, Berea West, Chiltern and Atholl Heights.
Property Westville offers an array of property types, sizes and styles and the same street may hold a Cape Dutch-styled home, modern architecture with a rambling garden, and a gated community for lock-up-and-go. The neighbourhood appeals to families given the outstanding government
One downside, specifically a reflection of South Africa’s economic issues, is its perception as a wealthier suburb which has criminals breaking into houses. However, the outcome has been the establishment of strong community policing forums across the neighbourhood as locals have fought back, resident Fiona Hollins says.
Schools Westville is renowned for its high education standards in its government schools. These include Westville Boys’ and Westville Girls’ High schools, Atholl Heights Primary School, Berea West Junior and Senior Primary schools, Pitlochry Primary School and Westville Junior and Senior Primary schools. Private schools include Kainon Primary School, Deutsche Schule Durban and Al Habib College. There are also tertiary education facilities with a 2km2 University KwaZulu-Natal Westville campus, Varsity College Westville campus, the International Hotel School located at the Westville Hotel, and Fusion Cooking School. “Westville is a solid middle-class suburb where every requirement is met without moving outside the neighbourhood. There are

good schools, hospitals and medical facilities, shops and entertainment, while benefitting from the extensive greenery of the lush garden environment,” resident Alex Burgess says.
Explore There are several churches across Westville including the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Methodist Church, Westville Baptist Church, St Elizabeth’s Anglican Church and the One City Church held at the Westville Country Club. The neighbourhood’s major mosque is the Habibia Soofie Aastana Masjid opposite Westville Boys’ High. Three major shopping centres – Westwood Mall, Westville Mall and The Pavilion – cater to residents’ shopping and entertainment requirements, while a myriad of smaller community centres offer outlets for local entrepreneurs, chemists and retailers. “Westville has a cosmopolitan community with more and more family-conscious people moving into homes that are still reasonably priced. The lack of visible policing is my only gripe with the neighbourhood,” resident Yogin Devan says. Tourist attractions include the Palmiet Nature Reserve with its 15km of guided and self-guided trails, while The Pavilion offers cinemas, an entertainment centre and tenpin bowling. Various sports clubs include Chiltern Park Sports Club, Westville Tennis Club, Westville Bowling Club, Westville Country Club and the Westville Athletics Club. Westville Old Boys’ Sports Centre offers soccer, rugby, hockey and baseball, while the Westville Theatre Club is located next to the Westville pool.

We moved to Westville more than 50 years ago because the area was considered a garden suburb and my husband Brian and I love trees, birds and nature. We also had two sons and had heard Westville Boys’ High School was an outstanding institution with a sound reputation. These factors still hold true today and we’ve never regretted our decision to move here. LIZ HORNER, RESIDENT

Shades of autumn There’s something instinctively comforting about the colours of autumn, and the 2019 palette conjured up by the colour gurus are utterly delicious WORDS: ANNE SCHAUFFER IMAGES: SUPPLIED
Y
ou’re probably unlikely to revamp your home solely for the cooler months ahead, but if it’s time for a revamp, or you enjoy warming up your colder colours with elements to accommodate the seasonal change, here’s some good advice from the pros.
Decorating for autumn
Lisa Edwards, Lisa M Interiors, suggests, “If you want to give your home an autumn makeover, be sure to make use of warm oranges, golden yellows and earthy tones. This doesn’t mean you have to paint an entire room, although one wall does make a bold statement. A single wall painted in an earthy tone (Plascon’s Beeswax Candle Y1-B1-1 is a gorgeous earthy yellow), paired with neutral and natural furniture and a plant or two, could be just the right combination to add spice and warmth to the area. Textures, too, do the trick – small items such as highly textured throws and scatters, rugs with higher piles, small objets in autumn hues, all add ingredients to the creation of a warmer and cosier space. Clever lighting will always amplify the warmth you’ve created in an autumn makeover.”
Colouring for autumn
Forget the more is more concept. Plascon’s Luxury colour story takes a new direction – a renewed appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. “Undeniably grown up, this look takes us back to a slower pace of life where old-world values take centre stage. Imagine a calm reading nook or a soothing bathroom, a home where you can
catch your breath, is what Luxury aims to achieve,” says Plascon head of decorative marketing Katlego Kondlo. “Luxury’s autumnal colours take their inspiration from the mid-century period, that design era of clean lines and uncluttered spaces that continues to be so popular now. Feature colours include rich gold Beeswax Candle (Y1-B1-1), Golden Lake (Y5-C1-3) and dignified Black Bean (71), while cobalt blue Winter Storm (B3-B1-2), deep purple Dark Antelope (P7-E1-1) and burnished red Burnt Horizon (R7-B1-1) add the pops of colour as accents. Katlego says, “Berry Good (P1-A2-3) and Ravine (62), our neutral of the year, are the neutrals which provide a soothing backdrop for this colour scheme. The other six colours, including blues, reds, yellows and browns, give mid-century designs a modern look whether you’re going for an elegant, upbeat or authentic look.”
Give your darks a little shine Dark interiors are here to stay, and are great for that cosy feeling in the cooler months without compromising on sophistication. In a kitchen, consider Plascon’s dark brown Black Bean on walls, floors and doors offsetting it with wooden accents and shiny copper fittings to avoid it being too brooding. Part of the Luxury palette, neutral of the year Ravine (62) is a blend of beige and grey and creates a versatile backdrop for just about any decor scheme. It’s the ideal blank palette on which to paint autumn.

African style and homegrown comforts influence the Decorex SA 2019 theme IMAGE: @HOMELIVINGSPACE
D
rawing on its position as Africa’s largest decor, design and lifestyle exhibition, Decorex SA has unveiled the 2019 show theme that will inspire and unite visitors, designers and industry leaders – Designing for Africa – feels like home. “One of the many elements that sets Decorex SA apart is the exhibition theme which has been revealed, every year, since the show’s inception,” explains Sian Cullingworth, portfolio director, Reed Exhibitions. “It has to speak to the global industry trends while also capturing the mood and sense of this particular moment in time within our lives.” Cullingworth says that Africa was finally emerging from the shadows in respect of stylistic influence, being viewed as a leader in design inspiration rather than a mere accessory. “The African hospitality industry is growing and we’re witnessing a number of emerging markets across the continent, many of them specifically design related or stimulated by African design,” continues Cullingworth. “This flow of movement into and out of Africa is drawing organic African style directly into the global trends – and conversely fusing some international flavour into local decor.” This dynamic African style will be artfully displayed throughout the various features at all three Decorex SA
shows – Decorex Durban, Decorex Cape Town and Decorex Joburg. “With Decorex SA attracting the most innovative decor, design and lifestyle influencers, we host a number of trade visitors from across the continent, all of whom want to witness the leading trends as they emerge,” says Cullingworth. “They then take this inspiration back home where it’s implemented with the unique flavour of each individual country.” Decorex SA is set to feature the best in 2019 trends, products and designs that depict various elements of African style, all of which resonate with residents on the continent. Through artistic design, the many cultures and styles that define people individually will merge, showing that they’re united through their African roots. To witness how the best local designers will interpret Designing for Africa – feels like home in a host of new features and installations, visit Decorex Durban, Decorex Cape Town and Decorex Joburg this year.

ll decks are not created equal. There are different materials, qualities, dimensions, durability, longevity, and, of course, price tags. Maintenance, too, varies.
Different kinds
“The three main categories,” says Dustin Thomas, CEO, Durban Decks, “are pressure-treated and treated softwood like CCA (copperchrome-arsenate) treated pine, accoya and Rhino Wood; hardwood like balau, macerenduba, garapa (most popular decking timbers because of their superior resistance to insects and wood rot); and wood, plastic and bamboo-plastic composites.
What to ask your contractor
Timber, timber Outdoor living is like breathing to South Africans, and anything which enhances that experience is king. Decking does that. WORDS: ANNE SCHAUFFER IMAGES: SUPPLIED & SHUTTERSTOCK
Be proactive and ask questions. “For your preferred aesthetic, do some research and identify the material best suited to you. Each has their own characteristics and dimensions,” says Thomas. Choosing a competent, reliable contractor is crucial. “Ensuring the deck has been built correctly (and safely) is paramount to its longevity. Incorrect installation may cause strain on the timber and affect the lifespan,” he says. His estimates for lifespan always carry the rider “…provided the timber is from a reputable supplier and the deck has been correctly constructed”. “Bottom line,” he says, “do some research on contractors’ previous projects and get referrals. For example, where does he source his materials from – here, in KwaZulu-Natal, a reliable source like Coastal Timbers ensures the right standard.”
additional support to reduce the span between structural joists. Composite suppliers have a guideline on the correct spacing between the support joists to allow the customer the guarantee of the 10 or 25 years (depending on the product). “For hardwood and CCA treated woods, it’s difficult to guarantee a natural product – on average, expect your timber deck to last upward of 15 years.”
Eco-friendly decking
“Composite decking or eco-friendly decking has become popular over the last couple of years,” says Thomas. He singles out Eva-Last as a forwardthinking brand which is continually improving their product. “EvaLast composite uses FCS (Forest Stewardship Council) approved timbers, a unique combination of bamboo and recycled plastics, and requires no sanding or sealing at all.” Andrew Prior, sales director for locally-sourced and manufactured modified timber product Rhino Wood, says, “Rhino Wood is a combination of two materials – local SA pine and a unique locally sourced preservation compound. The patented process involves thermally treating the timber, then impregnating it under pressure to ensure full treatment or saturation. It has all the hardwood properties of strength, dimensional stability and a durability rating of Class 1 – that’s important, as anything below can be susceptible to fungal decay and rot.”
And then… to seal or not to seal – are you prepared for that maintenance? “If you choose a hardwood, you don’t have to seal. The timber oxidises to a beautiful grey colour with little maintenance without compromising its lifespan.” Most of Thomas’ customers who choose sealed decks sign up for his maintenance schedule.
Rhino Wood is a natural timber (albeit enhanced), not a plastic product. “It provides a proper eco-friendly solution to many of the readily available hardwoods, which are sourced from the ever-diminishing tropical rain forests around the world. Comparing it to softwoods, Rhino Wood is nontoxic and, other than the occasional cleaning, does not require maintenance to prevent it from rotting. It’s already treated. The boards will weather to that appealing grey/silver patina.”
Longevity
Maintenance
Thomas says, “Composite decking may last up to 25 years, depending on the structural integrity. Composite, although strong, is less rigid than traditional timbers and requires
Timber can be coated with sealant, left to age naturally, or oiled, while composite materials require no sealant. Sealed or unsealed decks can be washed off with water.

Auction W jargon explained
ith auctions now generally accepted as a quick and effective way of fetching a market-related price for both commercial and residential property, the advent of purely online bidding raises some questions for sellers, e.g. how to know what price to expect on the day.
Which price is right and what is the difference between a reserve and a guide price? IMAGE: SHUTTERSTOCK
Firstly, explains MC du Toit, CEO: auctions & sales, BidX1 South Africa, a reserve price is set, which is the undisclosed minimum sum that the seller will accept and which is agreed upon with the auctioneer prior to the auction. He says this is not to be confused with the guide price, which, as the term suggests, is just a guideline. “The reserve price, which is only known to the seller and auctioneer, can be reduced by the seller if required, based on the information provided to him/her by the auctioneer during the pre-auction marketing period. However, the reserve price must be at a level which the seller is comfortable to accept. The highest offers will be presented to the seller and any bid could be accepted, as is the norm with any auction. Confirmation of our sales will be the same day as the auction, depending on the seller, as certain financial institutions require longer confirmation periods,” Du Toit explains. “As with any property and any method of sale, it’s not easy to gauge what we’ll fetch at auction, and we’ll only really be able to have a good idea once we’ve started with our marketing campaign. However, as experienced
Neighbourhood
property specialists, we’ll first of all assess the property and consult extensively with the seller and advise on what we believe to be a proper, market-related price. But, being an auction where everyone is invited to bid, anything can happen,” he says. “There have been instances where we’ve exceeded the reserve price, and conversely cases where the seller has accepted below reserve price, basing their decision on the demand for the property and realising that that is its true value – which fundamentally is one of the primary benefits of selling property via auction.” This raises the next question: How does the auctioneer gauge its value? Du Toit says value is determined by various key aspects that must be taken into account, along with, obviously, the condition of the property and its location. “For example, in terms of residential property, certain areas have different price ceilings and by that we mean that you’ll not easily achieve R6m when the average sale price for the area is R3m. Commercial properties, on the other hand, are much easier and value is determined by the return on investment,” Du Toit says. He explains that buyers will need to conduct a proper due diligence on and inspection of the property they’re interested in and once they have all the information they require and have done their research, they’ll be able to determine what they believe to be the value. “We’re always available to advise buyers and we’ll also list a guide price.
R
When they register to bid and express an interest in a property, we provide all the information we have available, including title deeds, Surveyor General diagrams, rental agreements, homeowner’s rules and more. We conduct show days on the properties and recommend that buyers attend these to get a good feel for the property.” And what about “ghost” bidders? Du Toit says BidX1 will not permit anyone to be able to bid unless they’ve registered on the same basis as all the other bidders. “So only registered bidders will be allowed to bid and they would have been FICAed and a security deposit would’ve been paid. We also confirm all the bidders’ details upfront, before we approve them as a bidder. Therefore no one will be allowed to unethically bid and drive up prices. Fairness and transparency are the key advantages of our auction platform,” Du Toit concludes. Once a bid has been successful and approved, the normal transfer process will follow and a transferring attorney will be appointed to facilitate the transfer process.
