About Gryphon House
The first word to come to mind when entering Gryphon House is, sensational. Every tiny detail has been thought of in the most elegant and tasteful way. This Villa is equipped to accommodate any group from disabled to young, old, fun or quiet people and is an entertainer’s wonderland.
The bold African art and sculptures add a feeling of warmth and fun to the large open free flowing areas. After walking down the stairs in through the entrance, you are overwhelmed by the view, by the modern neat finishes which have been done with the highest prestige but most of all by the way the whole house flows together.
There are two lounge areas, one inside which has a beautiful big fireplace and exquisite full windows with a titanic view. This lounge leads out onto the veranda which has an outdoor lounge area for those warm summer evenings. As well as the outdoor lounge is an outdoor dining area with bulky, modern furniture. This veranda leads into a fresh, well groomed garden that smells of lavender and leads to a large private pool area, equipped with sun-loungers.
