Ibis Cottage

Name: Umoya Living
Address: Cape Town, Western Cape, ZA

The brief

An Airbnb cottage that needed to stand out in a crowded market — to photograph beautifully, read as characterful, and feel instantly restful to guests.

What we wanted to create

We styled a layered, tactile interior that earns its keep: durable where it counts, lovely everywhere, and unmistakably a place you'd want to stay — wrapped around the Hout Bay light and mountain views.
