Whilst there is no place I'd rather be than in my own home,
this beautiful beach lodge where the
sky,sea and earth meet, takes quite something to beat.
It was a little
gift to ourselves as we turn many pages this year as well as into
our "golden" year!
To quote the owner, Rip Miller, an American....."after travelling the world, I have discovered the place closest to my heart, Oceana." `
and in my words, " A little bit of "heaven on earth"!
Enjoy the beauty of this exotic place as I share some of my photography with you.....
No attention to detail has been spared......
this was our Ocean Suite....
of course the highlight for Mr T was the TV screen that disappeared into the woodwork in front of the bed...ours seemed to be permanently out!!!!
My view from our bed...........
I love the touches of Africa in the shells, coral and beadwork
The suite comes complete with a shower room and a bathroom, a sitting area and generous wrap around deck......
She was an added bonus from my bathroom.....the only creature inquisitively staring at me ....
Some of the scrumptious dishes we indulged in....
Their brownies have won awards....very scrummy.....
Served at these table settings........ in the dining room
in the lounge a romantic table set just for the two of us.......
in the bar area........
or under the shade of
old Milkwoods at the beach......
I just loved this
gorgeous turtle in a corner of the lounge......
and
nowhere to squeeze the Christmas tree....so suspended from the ceiling above the bar.....
Game is always a highlight and although they do not have the Big 5, there's an abundance of different species of buck, White Rhino, Buffalo and Wildebeest not forgetting giraffe and zebra...
And then just miles and miles of unspoilt beach to ourselves.....it doesn't get better than this......
Two Oyster Catches going for their morning stroll.....
The tagiatelle of the sea.....
Truely a little gem perched in the hills overlooking the Indian Ocean.....
I am privileged to have spent time here.
Come visit us and fall in love with Africa!!
