The surrounding hills and landscape cocoon you in a bubble of tranquility, separating you from the bustle of the city of East London, which is only a 10 minute drive away. An ‘outdoor living’ approach, coupled with uncomplicated designs and natural tones, creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can really put your feet up, taking in the sounds of the valley.
