Bedrooms 2011

In the Master bedroom you'll find a double bed, built-in-cupboards and a vanity table. In the smaller bedroom there are two single beds (can be arranged as a double bed on request) and built-in-cupboards with a vanity table. The Townhouse is situated in a nice and quite complex. You will have a good night sleep!

Bathroom 2011

Nice spacious fitted bathroom with a large shower cabin.

Before and after - a glimpse behind the scenes…

We first laid eyes on the Manzini 34 in January 2009 while looking at objects around the Durban and St Lucia areas. The property agent described Manzini 34 as a little diamond – but in need of some TLC (tender, love and caring). And yes, he was right! TLC is just a beginning…

Have a glimpse at 5 pictures before we emptied the house and started the renovations. A big change!


All those stories regarding travels to South Africa, choosing tiles, prices, visits at CTM, road trips to Empangeni, discussions and disputes over small and big issues… We haven’t forgotten, but if we would do this journey again we wouldn’t be that blue eyed and we wouldn’t be so Scandinavian. After all, this is Africa you know…

Funny signs from all over

The largest Swedish newspaper posted an article about funny road signs and signs from all over the world, but with an emphasis on the Swedish ones. Regardless of that, St. Lucia and the “famous” sign inside the Croc Centre just outside St. Lucia stands out. Actually we saw it already a couple of years ago, and it still qualifies among the best!

Nice evening walk down to the Estuary

Enjoy the beautiful sunset by the St Lucia Estuary. Go beyond the pool area, and follow the concrete path down to the water, passing by the banana trees, onward to the small jetty/deck. Find your viewing spot and relax. Hippos are walking by and if you are lucky you will see the crocs at a close range.

Update: The veranda is now in order

New furniture in the lounge area
