WHERE Kommetjie
SIZE 342m²
Our home is our haven away from the chaos of the outside world. There really is no place we’d rather be…” says Candice Nortje, who lives in the seaside village of Kommetjie.
With a keen eye for décor and knack for curating, a sanctuary is exactly what Candice has created in the Nortjes’ delightful family home situated in the Klein Slangkop Eco Estate bordered by pristine beaches and the Table Mountain National Park.
“It really is nothing short of idyllic and it feels as if we’re permanently on holiday, even though we’re just 45 minutes from Cape Town.”
Candice is this year’s winner of Home’s Rookie Stylist competition in partnership with MRP Home –her entry stood out from the more than 1700 Instagram entries we received, all of which showcased beautiful nooks in our readers’ own spaces. It’s nosurprise that Candice’s entire home is equally impressive and full of décor inspiration.
Candice has been collecting kitchen appliances in shades of aquamarine and mint for years.
Construction
For years, Candice and her husband Charles walked past the stands in the estate, dreaming of their own perfect beach house surrounded by fynbos. In 2013, they took a leap of faith and made an offer; building commenced in 2014 and they moved in in 2015.
