Description
From the stone-built farmsteads in the Great Karoo, to the straw-built cottages in Calitzdorp. The majestic sandstone Victorian mansion in the Free State, to the heritage homes in the historical town of Graaff-Reinet. They all have their story that has stood the test of time. The contemporary beach villas of Plettenberg Bay. The high-tech treehouse neighbouring the humble fisherman’s shack in Scarborough.
The bungalows of Clifton, the lagoon dwellings of Langebaan, the stately homes of Simon’s Town and the revered residences amongst the vines of the Cape Winelands. As you’ll holiday in these great escapes, you’ll be privy to the passions and earnest personalities of the owners of these abodes. And that just makes it all the more exciting.
Paul Duncan’s published books include Perfect Hideaways in South Africa, Inside Kimberley, Hidden Cape Town and South African Artists at Home.

Beautifully curated for you
Ilse Crawford, author of Sensual Home, once said: ‘Make room for things that have meaning for you. Buy for instinctive reasons rather than rational ones. You will always enjoy it – it’s the “sensible” buys you’ll end up hating.’ And how right she was!
The joy of discovering a design or colour that speaks to you, is as moving as the evocative power of smell… wood smoke, the salty tang of the sea, the warm aroma of baking cakes, the lingering scent of a fragrant candle. They all bring back happy memories. ‘Life is simply better when surrounded by beautiful things,’ says curator Helen Untiedt, co-founder of Perfect Hideaways.
