The terrace ambience with a panoramic view is refreshing. The furniture arrangement is banquet-style with re-upholstered local and vintage sofas. An old wooden dining table from the 1980s was Alex's family. It looks quant and fits the space perfectly.
The bar at the terrace calls one to quickly quench their thirst with mocktails, cocktails and any other refreshments offered in the home.
Their chef, Gideon, specializes in pizza-making, among other delicacies. Pizza from the traditional oven is divine.
Carvings of cats gifted to Alex, displayed on the terrace, complete the eclectic feel of the owner's taste.
Carved trunks from Lamu are a stunning aesthetic in the space. If you love art, this is the place for you. The extraordinary art pieces and treasures are intriguing. Humongous straw hats from Lamu add texture and character to the terrace.
Once in a while, Alex and Candice enjoy the bush croquet game. The colourful set on the terrace calls for attention to be picked up; their guests enjoy the game, too.
The master bedroom is serene. The wrought iron headboard with a charming design caught my eye. The headboard is high enough to support the pillars of the bed for a nice traditional white mosquito net.
"When I was in Marakesh, Morocco, I saw this beautiful pattern on a window. I took a picture, and a guy from Gikomba replicated it," revealed Alex.
The sash windows that open to the breathtaking view of the garden make one want to linger there for days.
The nooks are spectacular, with comfortable cushions. One can spend time reading while enjoying the incredible views of the garden from the windows.
The wooden spiral staircase made of cedar leads to the rooms upstairs. It looks fantastic with little nook pockets with plants on the wall. This feature is creative.
There is everything to love about this colonial home - a calm haven full of character with owners who are fantastic hosts.
