Gryphon House

The first word to come to mind when entering Gryphon House is, sensational. Every tiny detail has been thought of in the most elegant and tasteful way. This 3 bedroom villa is equipped to accommodate any group.

The bold African art and sculptures add a feeling of warmth and fun to the large open free flowing areas. After walking up the stairs in through the gorgeous entrance, you are overwhelmed by the view, by the modern neat finishes which have been done with the highest prestige but most of all by the way the whole house flows together.

There are 2 lounge areas, one inside which has a beautiful big fireplace and exquisite full windows with a titanic view. This lounge leads out onto the veranda which has an outdoor lounge area for those warm summer evenings. As well as the outdoor lounge is an outdoor dining area with bulky, modern furniture.

This area can be sheltered from the wind or the glare of a sunset by enormous shutters which slide across the entire side of the veranda. This veranda leads down into a fresh, well groomed garden that smells of lavender and leads to a large pool area, equipped with sun-loungers. This area is also completely private.

There are no words that could do the master bedroom any justice. The design and layout of the en-suite bathroom which stands open to the bedroom but has the option of sliding frosted doors between and is centred around an enormous freestanding stone bath. Both the other bedrooms are also en-suite, one with a kingsize bed, the other with a double bed.

The modern kitchen could not need anything more. Equipped with everything from a dishwasher to a cup-warmer, all of which are so tastefully and neatly placed, that the kitchen also, bold and full, is not overly prominent in the living area.
