Sole Mandate
Welcome to a rare treasure in Napier - two character-filled cottages on one erf, offering the perfect package for extended country living, guest accommodation, or a creative retreat.
Tucked along Napier's most cherished street, this erf offers not one, but two enchanting cottages - each with its own personality, yet both woven together with the promise of a slower, soul-filled life.
The principal cottage is steeped in nostalgia, where original details reflect generations past. A grand fireplace commands the high-ceilinged sitting room, inviting you to gather on winter evenings as laughter and stories flicker in its glow. Stained-glass doors and the original shuttered front door lend a fairy-tale welcome, while a picture window frames the countryside like a canvas that shifts with every season.
Two restful double bedrooms invite long, dreamy slumbers. One opens directly to a leafy hideaway where your morning coffee awaits, serenaded by birdsong. The sunlit studio or office with its own entrance gaze's northeast, a place where dawn spills inspiration across your work, your art, or simply your thoughts.
The kitchen, spacious and practical, spills out to the Lapa where robins pop in for crumbs and the resident hadadas tends its nest, reminding you that here, nature is part of the household.
Across the way, a second cottage has emerged from a humble garage into a space brimming with possibility. Bathed in light, it offers a large double bedroom with ensuite, a gracious sitting room, and a balcony that peers out over rolling fields where time seems to pause. The kitchen, with its curved lines and rock wall, feels as if it belongs in a storybook - delightfully whimsical yet entirely functional.
Outside, the garden unfurls like a secret diary, full of quiet surprises. Meandering paths lead to little nooks where you can lose yourself in thought. A fountain trickles beside the studio, while the air is perfumed with jasmine and alive with the flutter of malachite's. Raptors trace circles overhead as if guarding your little Eden, and robins dart about with curious eyes, waiting for their morning treats.
When night falls, gather beneath the Lapa where flames dance and stars spill across the sky in an endless tapestry. This is where stories are told, wishes are made, and memories linger.
This is not just a property. It is a place where country dreams come to life - where every corner, every view, and every birdsong wraps you in wonder.
