Charlotte Daneel passed away on January 25th, 2019. When I first met Charlotte about 20 years ago I had just become editor of Cape Town-based Condé Nast House & Garden magazine. It was our very first shoot and Charlotte and her shop in Franschhoek, La Grange, were to be its subjects. I’d heard of her and was in awe of what I’d heard. I was also green and inexperienced and nervous about the day ahead.

Women like these, do not come around very often. Those with a love for the African soil, a keen eye for interior and most of all, the resilience to turn a farm in Africa into a luxury retreat.

Lovely Karoo Getaway We had a wonderful 5 night get away at the Gordonville Cottage. Just what we needed after months of lockdown. Accommodation was very good. Best prepared picnic basket ever. Staff very helpful. Did some walks on the reserve and spotted some game and birds.

We have done some star... Read More

Memorable hideaway in the Karoo! Visited Kliphuis with colleagues. We enjoyed the wide-open expanses of veld all around of us - felt one with nature! So, so quiet - once cannot help but relax! Visited in August - hence the fires in the house kept us cosy and warm. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook up a storm. The decor of the house lends... Read More
