Nestled at the foot of the majestic mountains in Hermanus lies a newly renovated gem that I had the privilege of photographing recently, Tulani House. The brief was simple but exciting: capture the heart and soul of this home to showcase its allure for Airbnb guests. What made this project particularly special was the story behind it—a father-and-son duo poured their passion and skills into every corner of this house.
The father, a seasoned builder, was responsible for bringing the structure to life, while the son, with a keen eye for design, meticulously curated the finishes and furniture. The result is a masterpiece where craftsmanship and style converge seamlessly.
Stepping into the home, you're immediately enveloped by a sense of calm. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, with a soothing palette and high-quality materials that make it both luxurious and welcoming.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A spacious garden surrounds the house, offering breathtaking mountain views that shift with the light throughout the day. The outdoor space is designed for relaxation and connection—whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit under the stars, or hosting a long, lazy lunch in the stylish entertaining area.
Photographing this home was a joy. The light streaming through the large windows brought out the warmth of the interiors, while the dramatic mountain backdrop added a sense of grandeur to every exterior shot. My aim was to capture not just the beauty of the space but also the love and effort that went into creating it.
If you're looking for a serene escape in Hermanus, this property is one to bookmark. With its combination of stunning design, incredible location, and thoughtful amenities, it’s bound to become a favourite for Airbnb guests.
