I’m Alexandra, a German plastic surgeon who found more than just a destination in South Africa—I found my heart here. The breathtaking beauty of the Western Cape's landscapes, from majestic mountains to endless oceans, and the warm, friendly spirit of its people touched me deeply. It’s a place that fills me with happiness every day, and I knew I had to make it my home.
Driven by a desire to share this joy with travelers from all over the world, I created Best Place Ever – a collection of three exceptional homes in Hout Bay.
Best Place Ever is more than a name—it’s a feeling. Whether you’re looking for tranquil mountain views, the vibrant energy of the harbor, or the serenity of a luxurious wine estate, you’ll find a home here that resonates with your heart.
Each of these homes reflects my love for South Africa and my desire to create spaces where guests can truly feel the magic of this extraordinary place. At Best Place Ever, you’re not just visiting—you’re sharing in the joy, peace, and inspiration that made me call this land my home.
I invite you to come and experience the happiness I’ve found here. These homes are my gift to you, each one a place to fall in love with life again. Book your stay and discover why this is truly the Best Place Ever.
These are my Best Places Ever in South Africa
