"A grand, powdery-pink Victorian building behind a gate of white classical pillars and down an avenue lined with palm trees, described as a 'grand Victorian wedding cake' with pewter-colored shutters and wrought-iron balconies opening onto green lawns. Guests take breakfast overlooking the pool or the beloved high tea; in the evening, aperitifs arrive with various types of biltong while the mountain behind the hotel cottages fades into a dusty mauve." - Chris Wallace Chris Wallace Chris Wallace is a New York-based writer and photographer.
