The Good Life

For interior designer Clinton Savage, moving from the city to an estate in the scenic Tokai region represented a new style of living

Wanting more space, fresh air and a slower pace of life, Cape Town interior designer Clinton Savage and his partner Ruald Rheeder, a well-known fashion designer, decided to put their home in Higgovale in the City Bowl on the market and move to the suburbs.

What Clinton describes as a basic shell of a home was appealing for many reasons, namely its openness, the fact that it didn’t need renovating and the lifestyle and security offered by Silver Tree Estate. “The area is well known for its vineyards, we’re close to some fantastic restaurants, which we frequent often, and there are some great mountain walks, which we love doing with our Great Dane, Thomas,” he elaborates.
