Enchanting views Marina Martinique. Fabulous Furniture. Jeffrey's Bay

The condominium was professionally decorated and almost everything was made to order from the unique glass bookshelves to the tall blond wooden bases and head boards. In South Africa we do not differentiate between a condominium, however the Latin translation of, "con", meaning together, combined with "dominium", meaning ownership describes our apartment/condominium perfectly as defined in North America. We have a House Owners Association and a Body Corporate that maintains everything perfectly at whatever cost it requires, whether we agree or not. This ensures that the estate consisting of 1000 homeowners is meticulously maintained and managed. Security is world class and utilizes anything from fingerprints to hundreds of cameras that are monitored ********. Consequently crime is non existent and most locals don't bother to lock doors or pick up bicycles, skateboards etc lying about. The same goes for unguarded kayaks, canoes and paddle-skis. After living in the estate for 14 years, I'm unaware of a single incident of theft. Living in such a secure cocoon one quickly forgets that most of the world does not. We have spent many years traveling around the world and art from our travels decorates our walls. Our condo enjoys the ultimate placement from a view perspective where incredible water views can be enjoyed from every spot in the condo. This canal estate is the best in the country as it is essentially a seawater lake that lies a few metres adjacent to the warm Indian Ocean, which means a sea water swim is on your doorstep literally. Should you choose just to swim in the lake-like area around the habituated islands the water temperature even in winter exceeds 20 degrees Celsius and the water quality is consistently monitored for its quality by scientists. Thus far the Marina Martinique competes with the best in the world for water qaulity and the absence of harmful bacteria and is world renowned for swimming competitions. Diving into a canal is safe as the depth on the sides is about 1,7 m and there are pool type steps everywhere to climb out from. We are fortunate that as the first homeowner in Kingston I had access to every unit and picking 22 Kingston was an obvious choice as no other unit compared in terms of the views, in combination with privacy and shelter. It is one of only 9 condos enjoying the privilege of facing east as well as North, which means the prevailing east bound winds from Cape Town have no impact on Barbecues or this superb weather shelter, no matter the weather conditions.
Prior to moving in as the first resident in Kingston place, I added many additional plug points and converted all the lighting to be capable of dimming.
Even the verandah's lighting was changed to suit the more romantic ambience and even the barbeque's lighting can dim. As artists, writers and publishers we love reading so we have a marvelous collection of books that should you fail to finish reading it you are welcome to keep it as a souvenir. We have plenty of books and simply stock up regularly. Besides we hope that when you return you will find some new books. This tranquil space is easy to fall in love with and we hope to see you soon again. There is a musical selection that enhances any form of meditation even if it is just some Mozart while you try your hand at cooking in the perfectly equipped kitchen. The fun of cooking is that you always have northern and southern views and hopefully an appreciative audience.
