The perfect story
Helen Untiedt, curator and co-founder of Perfect Hideaways, has spent the past 20 years travelling together with her husband David through the back roads, coastlines and bushveld of southern Africa, discovering dream destinations tucked away in beautiful locations. Each one reveals its unique attributes, many outlandish and unexpected, yet they are always effortlessly comfortable.
Helen has handpicked every hideaway for its ‘sense of soul’. Quintessentially South African, they share an unspoken history with you, that’s as pacifying as it is inspiring. Enticing you to return time and again, experiencing a world of curiosity and serenity.
