India House was named after its' emerald green door, imported from Gujarat, India. Staying true to the origins of this vision, the home is filled with pieces that imbue the styles of India, Lamu, Persia and Afro-India. India House can accommodate 6 adults and 4 children (1 children's bedroom, additional beds can be provided).

A classically laid out home with a centralised courtyard creates a colourful focus point. The richly decorated living room and family sized dining table provides the perfect setting for gatherings in both summer and winter.

Exposed beams and tall sash windows create a generous, airy feel for summer days. In winter the two central fireplaces accentuate the warmth of the timber floor and oak and gold finishes in the open-plan kitchen.

All three en-suite bedrooms have generously sized bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and a luxurious bath with views of the fynbos gardens. The children's room, off the Master Suite, is ideal for a family of four. Whilst there is luxury in the furniture, texture and flow, no area is too precious for young children and dogs.

Mapacha, which means "twins" in Swahili, is India House's sister house. The minimalist concrete exterior boasts a beautiful Swahili door sourced by the owners when visiting the old East African town of Lamu, Kenya. Mapacha House can accommodate 4 adults and up to 2 children (1 single pull-out children's bed per room)

Inspired by Swahili design and decor, Mapacha House is elegant yet comfortable with two en-suite bedrooms, with private light-filled bathrooms each with a unique mountain vista.

Glass sliding doors open out onto a well appointed veranda, a walled garden planted with indigenous fynbos and fragrant herbs, and unforgettable mountain views.
