of Hout Bay with panoramic views across the lush valley to the mountains beyond, Blackwood log cabin clasps the side of the mountain like an eagles nest.
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, complete with swimming pool, open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, has foldaway glass doors opening onto the sun-deck. Here you can watch the valley where the eagles like to soar. The enormous windows let in an abundance of natural light during the day and a canopy of stars at night. The dramatic sunsets tint the sky from dusty pinks to fiery reds. |

The cabin is set in two acres of indigenous garden and forest with rock formations, wild flowers and Koi fish ponds. The natural swimming pool, low slung hammocks and trampoline, make it the perfect natural playground for children. |

The furnishings are organic and textures are of the earth: linen, cottons, sea grass, raffia, sisal, bamboo, knotted leather and sea shells. The organic connection is not limited to the furnishings; the walls and floor are treated with plant oil on the inside and the house uses the African sun as its source of energy. |
