Guineverre Guest Farm Deck
South Africa
When co-founder Daniel Hawkey travelled to South Africa, he flew in specifically to build a new garden deck at Guinevere Guest Farm during the short eleven day window between guest changeovers. Surrounded by open landscapes and gentle hills in the Cape Winelands region, Guinevere Guest Farm is known for its quiet atmosphere, generous outdoor space and warm welcome. Daniel approached the project as the creation of a place where guests could slow down, gather and enjoy the view. The intention was to build a deck that felt natural to the garden and complemented the relaxed character of the property.
Working to a precise schedule meant that every stage of the build required planning and focus. Materials were organised in advance and once on site Daniel oversaw the entire process from layout to finishing. Each board was measured, cut and fitted with care, allowing the structure to take shape smoothly day by day. In just eleven days, the deck was complete. Daniel flew home immediately after the final touches were finished, leaving a new outdoor space ready for guests to enjoy, a quiet addition that now feels completely at home within its surroundings.
