“But I don’t like Table Mountain!” Ignoring the fact that that’s a ridiculous statement, consider this: If you don’t like Table Mountain, tilt your head 45 degrees, and get a load of Lions Head. That’s right, my sweet. You’re in Tamboerskloof now. Fancy Tamboerskloof. And there is nothing that you’ll never know about a sunrise […]

We haven’t visited the Atlantic Seaboard for quite some time, and there’s a lot to be said for Fresnaye – the wind-free zone against the thigh of Signal Hill. Killer views and a good life. Woolies down the road and Giovanni’s easy access. Click..
Oe, now here’s a treat. We’ve long been fans of the Westcliff suburb of Johannesburg, with it’s rose quartz outcrops and shady, solid jacaranda trees dotted about the sloping hillside. It’s a quiet area. It’s an expensive area. And this mini-mansion lives up to the reputation of the area, quietly killing it with a large […]
Introducing the YO! Home. Basically, Simon Woodroffe has decided that it is time that we redesign the studio home in an affordable and ergonomic manner.
Just take it all in. You could command an empire from these grounds. And what’s the going rate for your own principality?

RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey?
