IN A NUTSHELL

An eclectic mix of traditional stone cottages and contemporary-line boathouses. In keeping with the strict regulations that make Stanford so charming, the design does nothing to detract from the natural environment, and the new Boathouses in particular make the most of the magnificent views across the lagoon to the imposing Maanschynkop mountains.

With a nod to the sailing fraternities; the Boathouses, Port and Starboard, are fabulous nautical-themed homes ideal for relaxed holidays on the water. The Stone Cottages retain the charm of a typical stone building tucked into the Milkwood forests with beautiful outdoor seating areas.
