We had the honour of restoring the thatched roofs of the homestead, constructing a new reed-bed water filtration system, and creating a bunker ablution facility. This historic site once supported merchant vessels and is home to a 250-year-old pine landmark. Located 60 km northwest of Cape Town, the 1,000-hectare estate is now recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve due to its rich diversity of native flora.
