DIE ST ALLE A T BO SJES

Equestrian elements abound at the new Die Stalle spa at Bosjes Estate in the Langkloof valley, and no wonder – it’s situated in what was the farm’s original stables. Interior designer Liam Mooney was responsible for transforming the historic building into a contemporary spa facility. “While we didn’t want to be too derivative, we wanted to speak subtly to the history of the building,” says Liam of the transformation. “It was important that the design was as relaxing as possible.” He opted for vaulted ceilings and rounded corners, with a soothing colour palette, textured Venetian plasterwork and beautiful Moroccan zellige tiles adding to the sense of luxurious ease. An elegant trough water feature at the entrance to the building is a nod to the original occupants,

while the striking equine sculpture by artist Rowan Smith is an eye-catching addition to the reception area. bosjes.co.za
