We slept here last night warm in front of a roaring hearth, while the howling, blustering winter winds from Antarctica buffeted this remote, inspired home on the very edge of the ocean.

Tonight I sleep at the luxury tented Botlierskop private nature reserve. Looking so forward as more layers of this unique region of this country are revealed to me. I count myself blessed....
