See more photographs The house was designed for Koos van der Wat and his wife, the painter and artist Hannatjie van der Wat. Their daughter, Marianne Fassler, and her husband, Charles Bothner, later acquired the house and commissioned architect Paul Oosthuizen to undertake renovations from 2015 to 2017. The house is in Nature's Valley and is a 3-storey building. On the ground floor there were originally four bedrooms. The middle floor was the living and dining level. The wedge portion of the dwelling faces the northern aspect and looks into the forest. A third floor mezzanine had a strip window with a panoramic 180 degree view facing the beach, and this upper level was originally Hannatjie's studio. (Wallace Honiball, December 2025)
