… in a tranquil haven of 5 star quality. The interior decorating of Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel & Spa was attended to by Helena Pieterse – with the same exquisite result as at her earlier project, Fancourt Hotel & Country Club Estate at George.
In order to preserve the dignity and charm of a bygone era, the decor is elegant. This is achieved, yet there is an underlying contemporary feel together with emphasis on the organic and the real. The interplay of colours and textures provoke a tangible sense of comfort. Coarse hand-woven silk, jute, linen, cotton and vibrantly coloured velvets. The bedrooms with their soothing colours have been furnished with fine Egyptian cotton bed linen. Three of the 14 bedrooms have their own small lounges and all bedrooms are en-suite.
Carefully chosen handmade objects are displayed and used. Urns, pots and tiles made by master potters and embroidered curtains and cushions done by members of an embroidery guild. A respect for the skill of artists and craftsmen are evident.
