Been quiet over here. It has felt impossible to post in the midst of so much suffering and injustice in Gaza and beyond. Let us keep the children of Gaza in our hearts this weekend and wish for them to be safe, warm and fed.

Such a gorgeous evening. Incredibly grateful for how blessed we are to be safe with our loved ones in this beautiful place. ๐Ÿงก Thinking of those who are so much less fortunate all across the world.

Happy Friday from us at The Place ๐Ÿ’œ
We've been waiting patiently for these guys to come out. September is their month, and we knew that this year would be spectacular. Some of the hills around our area are carpeted in purple vygies right now, as the orange gazanias are starting to fade. Such a joyful reminder of the good rains we were blessed with this year. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿต๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

Flower season only comes 'round every few years in the Klein Karoo, making it all the more special. This year is maxing out big time!!

After the long drought, this colour explosion is a reminder that patience is rewarded and water eventually returns to this harsh and beautiful place.

We are soooo excited here at The Place!! Our first official guests are on their way to The Eye ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’ซ We cannot wait to share this beauty with them.

The Eye is situated in a special tucked away position, 1km from all the other buildings on the farm. She is packed full of character, views to die for and essential comforts; whilst still exuding 1000% Karoo Earthyness.

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived!
๐Ÿ’ซโ˜€๏ธโœจThe Eye is now open for bookings ๐Ÿ’ซโ˜€๏ธโœจ
This epic collaboration between The Place and โค๏ธโค๏ธ has been a dream project for us all and we can't wait to share it with our guests.
This beauty is tucked behind a gorgeous ridge at the end of her own private road. Her ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ over the stunning Klein Karoo landscape and Rooiberg mountains gave her her name. Some serious action ๐Ÿคฉ
She is all paired down minimalist natural finishes with touches of luxury - an XL king size bed, an inside and outside shower, a huge firepit and a plunge pool plus a kitchen designed for some serious cullinary fun!
Lots more pictures and details to come in the next few weeks. Contact Lizelle either by dm or on WhatsApp for bookings. Available on Airbnb soon! We can't wait to welcome you to The Eye @ The Place. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ
