Tugela
About the Home
Tugela’s’ understated tin-roofed veranda belies the elegance and extent of the property beyond its blue shutters. Lovingly renovated by the children of its original owner, Tugela, in memory of the many enchanted, sun-kissed family holidays they spent there, Tugela blends an eclectic collection of Botanical, wildlife and bird prints, bamboo and open-beam ceilings, woven African baskets, grass-lamp chandeliers, colourful Indian cotton bedspreads and cushions, with bright walls and textured wall paper. With double-volume doors, opening onto a magical garden, alive with birds, squirrels, roses and well-established trees – even the odd owl; a large sun-drenched swimming pool, pool house, and wrap-around views of the surrounding mountains, Tugela is a surprisingly secluded, and wonderfully serene, family sanctuary in the heart of vibrant Franschhoek.
