Skuurtjie
Yes, this was once a barn (its name means “shed” in Afrikaans) – now transformed into a wonderful, spacious house that encourages social gatherings and celebrations. With its modern, almost-all-white interior, think of it as the canvas or backdrop on which to create memories. There’s a large and sunny verandah (virtually a room of its own, complete with drapes if you’d prefer shade), from which you can leap straight into the inviting pool. Lovely touches, like a Nespresso machine for early-morning coffee, luxurious beds draped in mosquito nets and a bookshelf filled with good reads by the fireplace, make it feel extra-special. It’s in the quieter part of town, but the main hub (and gin bar) is walking distance away.
