Description

Home to a creative family, The Muse is more than a holiday home — it is a place of expression, calm, and inspiration. Art, literature, music, and thoughtful design are woven throughout the interiors, while soaring glass windows frame ever-changing views of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounding mountains, and open sky.

The architecture encourages an effortless inside–outside flow, allowing light, sea air, and nature to shape each day. Whether relaxing by the pool, soaking in the hot tub, working out in the gym, or enjoying quiet moments by the fireplace, The Muse offers a restorative escape where luxury and authenticity coexist beautifully.

The Space

Designed for both comfort and creativity, the home offers generous living spaces that feel open yet intimate.

High glass windows flood the interiors with natural light and connect the living areas seamlessly to the outdoors. The absence of neighbouring properties enhances the sense of seclusion, making this an exceptional option for guests who value privacy.

Multiple indoor and outdoor zones allow for both shared moments and quiet retreat — from social gatherings around the braai to solitary moments of reflection with a book, a view, or a piece of music.

Living & Entertaining

The living spaces are warm, layered, and personal, filled with art and objects that invite curiosity and conversation. Fireplaces add comfort during cooler evenings, while built-in braai facilities encourage relaxed outdoor dining and entertaining.

A Smart TV with DSTV, fast Wi-Fi, and inverter backup ensure modern convenience without detracting from the home’s peaceful atmosphere.
