About the host
Hosted by Bruce Haase (NL) /Leigh (SA)
I am a Dutch-American and live mainly in Amsterdam, The Netherlands but have been spending time in South Africa for the past 15 years. I fell in love with the country's natural beauty and its warm and friendly people and excellent climate. I also find the diversity of the country and its people inspiring and energizing. My work focuses on sustainability so this has also an important factor in my life.
Why they chose this property
My partner and I first visited the Overberg region and De Kelders more than 15 years ago and have returned every year since. We love the natural beauty of the region combined with the great climate and culture. De Kelders is a quiet and friendly area with amazing ocean views. Directly next to the Walker Bay conservancy you can hike for hours through the dunes or along the unspoiled beach all the way to Hermanus.
Guppy Huys immediately struck as cozy and comfortable bungalow with amazing ocean views. The house was built by the father of the previous owner in the 80's and we have done some renovation including modernizing the kitchen, and a large oceanfront deck while trying to preserve the charm of the original dwelling.
The house is on a large plot (>1000 m2) covered with indigenous fynbos and extends directly down to the waterfront. We regularly see tortoises, dassies, mongoose and dozens of varieties of birds on the property. We also regularly see whales and dolphins.
With a focus on treading lightly on the environment, we have added solar hot water and PV electric panels with battery back-up. This has the added advantage that the lights (and wifi) stay on even if the power goes off.
Guppy Huys as a quiet and cozy place to reconnect with nature and friends and family. With this in mind, we have created a traditional firepit (boma) on the property, a built-in outdoor braai/bbq, and a large ocenfront deck with amzing view.
We look forward to sharing the magic of Guppy Huys with you.
