FROM
From R34 000 per person sharing
Three nights in the city that made us. Not a stopover — a proper long weekend of design, dining, history and the quiet estates most visitors never reach.
Unhurried. One thing in the morning, one thing at night, and the afternoons left open for the pool or the galleries.
