A home with
a story.
Welcome to Palmilla.We were just finishing our own home in The Arbour when the block next door became available. We bought it and started drawing up plans, and once our place was finished, we got straight into building Palmilla.
The house came together over the next six months. The build went like clockwork, though the three big date palms took a little more organising.
We found them at a grower in Uki. Getting the two into the back garden was quite a job, while the one out front had a much easier arrival. These days, they look right at home and give the garden that lovely tropical feel.
Now we get to share Palmilla with you. We hope you’ll find time for a slow morning by the pool or a long lunch outside. It’s your place for a little while, so settle in and make yourself at home.
