Restored heritage property
Originally constructed in the 1930s as a colonial mansion, the building’s restoration preserves original features such as arches, verandahs and high ceilings. The design blends classical architecture with contemporary elements, centred around an open-air courtyard with a jacaranda tree and landscaped gardens.
A locally curated art programme features South African themes inspired by the country’s natural landscapes, botanical archives and cultural history.
