MAY 2018
WHITE RIVER I MPUMALANGA
Casterbridge, once a spreading Mango plantation in
White River, has been transformed into one of the most
original and enchanting country estates in South Africa.
Just 20 km from Nelspruit, a mere 40 km from Hazyview
and Sabie; White River has become home to a host of
creative talents; artists, designers, fine craftsmen,
ceramicists, cooks and restaurateurs.
Casterbridge Hollow is a concept that has evolved
with great charm, using the simplest and most basic
materials. Colours are reminiscent of romantic
hillside villages in Provence and Tuscany.
