After ten years of dreaming and two years of planning we finally created a modern beach front house by the surf. 127 de Gamma is built with a European style but an African heart. Whilst the bedrooms are downstairs, the open plan upstairs is all about the view. 2 guests may also stay in the unattached annex at the bottom of the garden. They have a totally separate area.
