1. Contemporary Llandudno retreat
From the lush, private garden it looks like the splendid blue sky is touching the sea. Below, Llandudno Beach, a blanket of Blue Flag white sand stretches out from under the ocean. This sumptuous scene makes up the foreground of the R25 million Llandudno property in the Western Cape.
A multi-level home with part glass frontage, this gentleman’s lair is a contemporary piece through and through. Not a stitch of typical coastal décor in sight or a hair out of place, the lounge is an arrangement of white walls and stylish furniture, pleasingly embellished with vases and scatter cushions.
The kitchen, a modern affair of stainless steel and fitted cabinets, stands in a small niche; a red accent wall on either end. This design seems to live on in the dining table, which takes cardinal position across the kitchen counter. Its glass top and wooden legs mirror the gleaming kitchenware and cabinets.
A smattering of nature-themed accessories like the horns and animal print rugs, keep the scale of the luxury grounded.
This five bedroom, seven bathroom retreat has a pool table, wine cellar, an entertainment deck, swimming pool and staff accommodation.
Llandudno is the perfect spot for surfing, body boarding, whale watching and snorkeling.

Dreamy, plump pillows rest back on a white headboard. A seating area at the foot of the bed marks off the end of a delicately, well-put together bedroom.

The suave living room is decorated in neutral pieces, an animal skin area rug, a leather sectional sofa, complementary prickly vases, a flat screen TV and round coffee table. A cluster of copper shade pendants hang from the double volume ceiling – a canny way of bouncing of the natural light that comes in through the adjacent window.
Winding through this Balinese inspired home and connecting the indoors with the outdoors is a custom-made Koi pond.
