Last weekend I went for a solo ride to charge the batteries to GULU just outside East London. Also went to have a look at a house at Cove Rock which i would love to buy and move to. SWAMBO not keen on the daily commute of +/- 20 km one way per day.

Cove rock nice place to stay, i live there for 8 yrs. :thumleft: my house just opposite the one you posted. Its also for sale as i now live in Cape town. :thumleft:
 
Lekka Spoedie, buy the house and invite us for the house warming party.  :thumleft: 
 
VISSIE,  as ek SWAMBO kon oorreed was ek al gister daar. Die dubbel garage het n dek bo-op en die hele area is oop met ;n groot braai. Sal gou photo post van view van die dek.
 
A few more pics of the house and its view which i downloaded off the estate agents sight.

gwild, imagine if this little thread gets your house sold for you. That would be something!!!

Good luck with the sale. I'm still working on the wife!!
 
Jis Spoedvark, hoop jy kry SWAMBO omgepraat... Daardie braai skree vir n lekker paar kuiers!
 
What do houses go for in this area these days?
 
gwild's place is around the  1.3 mark??

the clinker brick one i am keen on is on the market for 1.47!

i would braai or make a fire every evening in summer if i lived out there i think.

Mate of mine wholives out there say the wild buck walk around the estate daily and the bird life is something else!!

If only i could convince the wife. oh well! Will keep dreaming!!
 
Finally found the pic i was looking for.

The view from the garages deck!!
