Also a highly successful wedding, function and convention venue, Villa Brocant is well-known for its gourmet food and excellent service, says Koekemoer.Koekemoer says the property is exceptional in every way, and an excellent investment opportunity. Each en suite room is a stylish showcase of antiques and luxurious soft-furnishings.
“All rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with DStv and have their own private entrances from the lush gardens where guests can take a stroll, plunge into the pool or browse through the gift store.”
Villa Brocant has a rich history, Koekemoer says. Still known to many locals as the “De Wahl house”, it was built in 1954 by Vryburg mayor Jos de Wahl, who was of Belgian origin and began the tradition of furnishing the property with European antiques.
“This tradition has been continued by the current owners, Elsa and Pieter Jonker, who co-incidentally lived in Belgium for 20 years and there developed a passion for art, architecture and the antique European furniture they continue to import and sell.”
Several water features and the lush gardens add to the tranquil and relaxed feel of the property.However, she says it is in no way a museum. “Rather, it is a luxurious sanctuary that has delighted thousands of visitors since its conversion to a guesthouse in 2004.”
Koekemoer says the Villa Brocant enjoyed an occupancy rate of 70% to 75% throughout 2014, and that the experienced staff and management team are all prepared to stay on under new ownership.
