The Property
The main entrance gate is keyed with a Blink doorbell is coming soon. On the left you’ll find a large gate (for when there are activities in the space) and a table with chairs for relaxation or perhaps some yoga or for working out. You’ll also find a kafir lime, a lemon tree and two kumquat trees. On the right, you’ll find wrap-around bench seating, a table with chairs and a firepit. With an additional bench and portable loungers, it’s a great space to catch the sun’s rays or work outside as there are plenty of external outlets available. Our garden wall also offers a variety of herbs for use and the front is ordained with passionfruit vines. A portable Amazon Echo offers the ability to play music and we have a portable movie screen with projector to show movies. The front perimeter has an electric fence with a security system monitoring the property and there are cameras with spotlights overlooking the two garden spaces as well as a couple bronze animal statues.

As you walk through the right door, you’ll find a covered area (to store bikes if necessary) and a cabinet to hold the outdoor cushions/chairs. You’ll continue along the right side (doors to Buffalo and Giraffe are located here), with a wall filled with grape and passionfruit vines, lemongrass plants and a variety of vegetables including peppers, tomatoes and lettuces. Here you’ll also find a small cushioned bench and a few cabinets with braai supplies and pool toys along with a braai (BBQ). Just before entering the back garden area, we have an outdoor shower for a quick rinse after a day at the beach or pool. The back courtyard is a great entertaining and relaxing space. The picnic table with cushions offers seating for 12 people and near the towel rack. The 100sqft pool (9.3sqm) is 5ft (1.5m) at its deepest point with graded steps from the side and enough room for 14 people. As a half-above ground pool, you can easily step over the glass wall for access to an internal bench with seating for up to 6 people. Surrounded by lush greenery including palm trees and monsteras, the beach palette of wooden chairs with black potted plants and mirrors scattered across the walls complement the lighting and metallic animals. An Amazon Echo is situated in the corner to play music while relaxing. Along the side and in the back pool area there are 2 cameras to ensure safety and security in these areas.
