Perfect Hideaways in South Africa

Many people have a childlike fascination with the idea of a hideaway or a bolthole, a place literally out of sight, maybe at the bottom of the garden, in the woods or in the country, somewhere remote from the routine of everyday life. This book features 30 different styles of holiday house where all kinds of experiences are possible away from life in the city. They’re found on remote escarpments of the South African hinterland, in the vineyard-filled valleys and among the mountains of the Overberg and the Boland, overlooking the lagoon at Churchhaven and on the edges of small country towns in the Sandveld and Swartland. This book celebrates all of them, identifying precisely what it is that makes a holiday home the ‘perfect’ escape.
