Fairview

Here Peter and Gillian built the most elegant home for their retirement and set about making a garden of some renown. David and Nicky took over this property in 2003.
Martin Rattray, Peter and Gillian’s youngest son designed all the buildings on the property in the traditional Cape Dutch style. Martin also built himself the most spectacular house to the west, with incredible views over the mountains.
