“The role of the designer is that of a good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” Charles Eames
There is nothing like the sublime pleasure of spending your holiday in a home where every space delights the eye and is thoughtfully designed. When there is natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, it means the witty repartee can fly between those cooking and those having an apéritif around the kitchen island, it’s easy to grab another cold drop of something from the fridge, and the laughter of the kids in the pool provides a happy backdrop.
We pride ourselves on the fact that each of our handpicked holiday homes has beautiful design features and carefully curated spaces.
One of these gorgeous homes is Tone Alexander’s Noordhoek villa, Le Vue d’Alexandre. His keen eye for detail and beauty means that you can relax and luxuriate in stylish surroundings. There’s always a side table placed just where you need it, the sumptuous couches on the veranda are perfectly positioned to catch the afternoon breeze, and the views of the mountain are beautifully framed by the landscaped garden.
The fact that Tone’s garden recently won the formal garden category in the Noordhoek Open Gardens comes as no surprise, with its perfectly pruned hedges and Iceberg roses, without forgetting the quirky gin bar (nicknamed ‘The happiest little gin palace’), which lures you out across the manicured lawns for a sundowner.
Tone was also asked by a London-based client to tackle the interior and exterior transformation of The Milkwood, a heritage Victorian cottage in Gordon’s Bay. Once again, he’s created a holiday home that invites you to relax and unwind.
We look forward to hosting you in one of our designer homes soon. Click on our Peak Season Offers to find the perfect holiday home for you.
