Each of the reception areas off the foyer is interlinked and flow seamlessly from one to the other. Although the home is large it flows beautifully, as it follows the sunlight that comes in throughout the day. The spacious lounge and dining rooms have art deco fireplaces with impressive views over the Zandvlei Estuary and the Muizenberg Mountains. Unique details in the dining area are evident such as the two built-in mirrored cupboards for storing crystal as well as a butler system which is used for the transfer and keeping warm of food from the kitchen to the diners. There is a wine cupboard with shelving expertly tipped to conserve the wine.
