to create a special destination and really cared about every aspect of the final outcome .”
Interiors Juxtaposing the austerity of the exterior colours is an interior featuring bright artworks , natural sky lights , and an oasis of indoor flower beds .
The interiors were designed by Maurette van Eyssen , of MI Designs . “ I believe each hotel tells a story of its own . This needed to be a natural extension of the farm , and what has already been created on the estate ,” comments van Eyssen . “ The Manor House already celebrates the historic character of the estate , so the Hazendal Hotel is
more contemporary . It has to be lively , it has to be adventurous , it has to be different .”
The interiors are imbued with a sense of understated elegance and a seamless visual language that carries throughout the property .
“ Designing the interior space has been a journey , bringing out different layers of flooring , fabrics and furniture . It ’ s about creating a space that makes your eye want to linger ,” she says . “ It ’ s really about a combination of beautiful fabrics , bespoke furniture and the subtle play of light to transform spaces and add a little drama . To bring in that sense of glamour . But at the end of the day it also needs to be a timeless interior ”
