Manzini 34 is the address of our Townhouse in St Lucia, South Africa. The place has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom, and there are new furnishings in all rooms. This 80 sqm Townhouse consists of two bedrooms, a big lounge area, a fully fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a 70 sqm private garden. On the veranda (picture above) the ‘African roof’ provides you with some shade. Most welcome to Manzini 34 and to follow the progress on this blog! /Daniel & Chris

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…
