Peek at the Windows & Doors at De Oude Huize

is not a substitute for action -
it is a prerequisite for informed action.

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.

You're only here for a short visit.
Don't hurry. Don't worry.
And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
- Henri Matisse

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste
that they hurry past it.

A life rooted deeply lives and grows in memory.

Take care of all your memories.
For you cannot relive them.

As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect
the uniqueness of others.

  5. De Oude Huize is a Dutch expression, so I wonder if you have Dutch connections? One of our friends in Holland has a guest house like this one -so cute!

      Yes it means old house. Our country was occupied by the Dutch in 1652 and there is a very strong influence. Our families that came to South Africa were French and Brittish.
      Would love to see your friend's guest house. If possible please forward a website address.
      Lots of love from Sunny South Africa
