FIND ME ON
first year anniversary in a designer trailer park. oh yes. I did say trailer park.
yip. It’s been one year of marriage : ) and Dylan took me to a trailer park. hee. but this was no ordinary trailer park this was one of the coolest hotel concepts in one of the most beautiful settings i’ve ever seen! It’s the Old Mac Daddy in Elgin Valley – the inland cousin of the Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street, Cape Town.
Like it’s cousin in Long Street it is thoroughly designed from the showers, to the stairs, to the dining room, to the library. It has a distinctly Scandinavian style, made predominantly of wood and aluminium it is clean and beautiful and makes you feel quickly at home and completed relaxed. While the design language is clean and fresh the inside of each trailer is mad and magical! Each with a different theme designed by a SA creative, they are incredibly designed and decorated – the detail is crazy! See more on each trailer here.
Here are some of my snaps of all the things I saw
and OUR airstream trailer - The Yellow Submarine! (these last few nice photos are by Dylan, he had the patience enough to get out a tripod)
We had two amazing nights there, but I recommend going for a week. Once you settle in you just want to STAY! The only thing is it’s not self catering so you have to eat at the restaurant, which is still nice.
bye bye my beautiful trailer. I will miss you.
Get all the details here
I will stay here one day. i will!
Cape Town. You are lovely 
and one day i will come and stay in the “penthouse” on the roof of your grand daddys hotel!
Check it out mmmmm <3 <3 <3
“A gleaming fleet of seven iconic American Airstream trailers have packed up their corndogs and tucked away their picnic blankets to roost on the rooftop of The Grand Daddy Hotel. Here, the quintessential African skies and the alluring outline of Cape Town’s Table Mountain are reflected in the polished aluminium of the American Dream.
Peek inside – there’s more! Each of the seven trailers has been handed over to some incredibly creative Capetonian soul to find new life through playful, eccentric and dazzling décor interpretations of how life in an Airstream can be.
Your Airstream is enclosed by a tidy garden complete with US Postal Service mailboxes and on hot summer nights you can watch an outdoor movie at The Pink Flamingo Cinema!”
