A masterclass in soft architecture, where sculptural curves, graceful arches and sun-washed textures evoke the romance of the Mediterranean, Casa Sanchia is our newest shoot location in Scarborough. The best news? It’s just under an hour from Cape Town.

Bubble-worthy backdrops…

Bathrooms are rarely top of the shoot brief, but perhaps they should be. And when that brief lands, you know where to come… because the best bathrooms have personality!

Some are sleek and architectural, others charmingly imperfect. They may not be the largest rooms in the house, but they often steal the scene with their wallpaper, tiles and styling. And unlike some leading roles, they never complain about lighting! Here are few to get you started...

Lifestyle brief? Besides the adorable sheep on this working farm, with its apricot and nut orchards that are awash with spring blossom every year, you can explore on the coolest retro-styled e-bikes. Below the designer cabin is an equally glam pool and deck space framed by the rugged beauty of the Karoo. Expect game to roam past to the waterhole and abundant natural beauty. Jackals Rest is one of those rare finds that effortlessly delivers.

Did you know that when much of the country reaches for their coats and heaters, our shoot locations in tropical KwaZulu-Natal are basking in sunshine?

This is where our winter photoshoots quietly come into their own. It’s our winter secret: warm days (yes, temperatures shift from 20 to 27 degrees this week!), golden light and lush green scenery.

For photographers and production teams, KZN is one of those rare destinations that works beautifully in every season – but especially now. And besides, King Shaka International Airport is a breeze and the drive through the sugar-cane fields to most coastal locations is less than 40 minutes. Couldn’t be easier!

The art of the urban photoshoot

Where else in the world can you shoot in the coolest city, spend the weekends tasting wine in the Winelands, enjoying superb restaurants, walking the mountains or relaxing on beautiful beaches? It’s an absolute no-brainer.

Ask Natalie Whitehead – our shoots consultant – about this house, and she’ll tell you straight off-the-bat that this is a ‘brilliant all-rounder’ for lifestyle briefs and branded shoots.

‘The Lakehouse on Val du Lac is all about the views, the lake and outdoor entertaining area, complete with its dreamy pool and Jacuzzi,’ she says. ‘Add the flourishing kitchen garden, a pétanque court, beautifully designed water features and thoughtful landscaping, and you have a grand Winelands setting that feels both spectacular and grounded. Best of all, it’s just an easy drive from Cape Town and versatile enough to meet multiple briefs.’

NEW! Light, lines, location: meet The Blue Nook!

The Blue Nook (sleeps 13)
Hermanus, Overberg

Three reasons why this house gets the brief:

1.⁠ ⁠The Blue Nook offers a rare combo for Hermanus: it isn't hemmed in by other buildings and it’s on the ‘front line’, but set back slightly from the famous cliff path on a green belt. This means its mountain views are uninterrupted on one side and sea views are wide open on the other.

2.⁠ ⁠Light is its signature. A striking overhead well floods the dining space year-round and Grecian-blue shutters can be used to shift the mood – drawn back to reveal a fynbos garden and crisp mountain vistas or to create softly diffused interiors.

1.⁠ ⁠Designed by award-winning architect Gawie Fagan and restored by Kevin Fellingham Architects, it is rich in detail and beautiful angles. Visually interesting pitched ceilings, glass corner windows with window seats, sea-facing sliding windows that open up the front facade completely… an endlessly versatile backdrop for shoots.

Blackwood House is a no-holds-barred location surrounded by a lush, tropical garden with ample deck and poolside opportunities for outdoor shoots. Inside, the dark-walled interior glamour is moody and sophisticated, yet industrial-style windows grace the entire facade of the living area. Here, shafts of natural light dapple through a glorious green canopy, adding natural beauty to this treetop eyrie.

This is industrial glamour at its best with high-end cabinetry, glossy marble, aged wood, exposed brick – and even graffiti. A rockstar location, just half an hour from Cape Town and our international airport. Save this one now for the perfect brief!
