i couldn't understand why mummy and percy were always leaving lalande, but now i do! the house and the surroundings are absolutely idyllic. your father's artwork and his decorating style are right up my alley - love them!
Mummy and Percy look so happy together, they are such inspiration for what life should be, and how it's never to late to find love. Looks like you all had such a lovely vacation and your home is absolutely gorgeous.
DARLING , THE CHATEAU DIARIES , YOUR MOTHER , IS THE MOST FORTUNATE TO HAVING A BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING DAUGHTER. . WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS AND SWEET KISSES FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY " THE ROTHSCHILDS . " FAREWELL MY LOVE .
I hope to be correct. I understand that when her father was alive, he and her mother bought the house, and some of the furniture in it was designed by Stephanie and her father. I’m glad the house wasn’t sold because in the nordic winters there’s a lovely place with a gorgeous summer to escape to. I believe Steph’s father was a traveller and so is she. Steph and her dad were two peas in a pod!!!
You are an absolute delight! I am so proud of the paintings my mum Gerda van der Westhuizen gave you. I think she is your biggest fan! I think we must send her to La Lande so she can paint the Chateau.
What an absolutely stunning place!!! I got a chuckle when Percy was hanging the picture lol! Your so lucky to have such beautiful family & friends!!! The home is breath taking with the views what a peaceful place!
Oh, it has been such fun seeing your life in the "other Hemisphere"! Your house is amazing!! My husband, Bill, just sailed to Capetown and stayed at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in our sailboat, Pixie, from Canada. He left a week ago heading for New Zealand. He must have just missed you!! I absolutely adore South Africa and wish I could have visited while you were there! Big hugs from me in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Stephanie, you are an absolute joy! A real life very hard-working magical Princess who sprinkles fairy dust wherever you go. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with all of us. Much love 💕💕💕
What an enchanted life you lead & how lucky we are that you share it with us. Looking forward to the next episode in SA. Merci la belle Stéphanie xxxxx
wow! this place is fabulous! you are truly blessed! From one dream home, you pop up to another dream home. Can't wait to see the video of the Safari! :)
So LOVELY to meet m.pott's gorgeous mum and family and Nick's beautiful family too. What lovely, kind people you have in your life . Thank you for sharing them!❤️😃
What a gorgeous house in a gorgeous place. The beach was to die for. Still cold here. I think tho that I have an even older bathroom in NY. So nice to see Mummy and Percey. Happy Safari.
Hi Stephanie I love your mummy’s beautiful home and right by the beach what a view very relaxing picture looks lovely I can see why your mummy loves it there so nine that you can spend some quality time with mummy away from the chateau and not working
Omg Stephanie you are all so much fun.......lovely to see Mom and Percy again and their lovely home........the ocean looked heavenly, but I would have to fly over that pathway as I’m deathly afraid of snakes........looking forward to the next vlog as Africa has always been on my bucket list.......p.s. I love the African necklace you were wearing as you were leaving..........enjoy...........Donna in Toronto
My husband's parents lived in Southbroom. Right on the golf course with incredible views. Used to visit them every weekend. It's a magical place and the beach and swimming the best in Durban. Living in Cape Town now but wondering now if we shouldn't settle back in Southbroom.
It’s how you take whatever life throws at you so graciously and kindly that makes you inspirational Stephanie,. I have always followed avidly your vlogs which gave me lots of love and laughter. By the way Percy is just perfect for your Mum, love them both.
Stephanie your mums and Percy’s home is so big and light , and open plan with huge high ceilings, everything I love ,and sea view. Love the way it’s been decorated, and the views are just breathtaking. Watching all these videos back to back. They are great.. keep posting 👈😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍❤️
Thank you for sharing the lovely sea , sand and SUN! it's so cold and snowing here in Scotland I had my hot water bottle with me on the ferry crossing going shopping. Only the wild haggis to worry about hiding in the Heather.
I lived in west Africa several years. It was always nice seeing coffee dry in front of village homes. We loved mango and banana trees in our yard. I think I'd like a Collin burger.
This was fab, am hoping to go to SA next year. Nick’s wife is lovely and their son Antoine is so sweet, maybe a little shy like Nick ? Isobel and Percy’s house is literally a drrreammm. What a bolt hole ! Have you ever been to Babylonstoren ?? I guess you know the man who owns the Priory Gardens in France near you runs a course on garden structures at Babylonstoren .Have fun xxx
Love the house, art work, Zulu hats and views. Your mother and Percy obviously really adore you if they take that grueling journey several times a year. Your journey through your life is obviously very important to them. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Stephanie, what an amazing experience; missed flights, seemingly endless hours in the air, to finally arrive at such a beautiful beach house where your wonderful mother and adorable Percy live. I've never been to Africa and it looks so very beautiful. The sea is gorgeous, and the green of the rolling lands so lush! I must tell you, that Black Mambas terrify me! I dislike and fear snakes and spiders intensely. Oh, dear. Your father's beautiful paintings go perfectly with the architecture and white of the house. I love the baskets! I am a basketweaver myself. I particularly love the red hats and your African sculpture . The gifted paintings are really something, particularly the blue one. What a wonderful gathering of family and friends. I still think you must begin a Vinyard at LaLande! And you need at least one or two signature wines! 🙏🏻🦄🦔💗🏰💗🦔🦄🙏🏻
Everything looked smashing. Loving all of the blogs. Beautiful art by you father and also your 2 new paintings are incredible. Love to you all. See you next on you safari.
Wow,that was a surprise! South Africa,how marvellous. Looks lovely and can't wait to hear more about the vineyard and octogenarian lady owner,there might be hope for me yet!! The beach views were amazing and the sounds of the sea,so calming. Really fancy a piece of coffee cake! Lovely to have your fathers stunning artwork there as well,what a talented chap he was. We wish you all safe and happy hols...Mrs G will not believe you always travel with only hand luggage !
Sitting at the wrong gate is very easy to do! Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of South Africa and that wonderful house. Percy and mummy never disappoint! :)
I smiled at the yellow parrots. I have a white one from B&Q (diy store) he's called Jasper. Congratulating myself on my impeccable taste. Thank you for all of your hard work Stephanie. Congratulations on your rapidly increasing RUclips subscribers 🦁 My Daddy gave me a framed Vogue cover January 15 1919💋
Absolutely fabulous wherever you decide to entertain us with your adorable family. Would you ever do a special episode explaining how your father was an accomplish painter. I am so intrigue. Thank you 😊😊😊
Stephanie, you have the best of both worlds, from the fabulous Lalande to the beach house and a room with a spectacular view! Great to see more of your wonderful family and friends.... the ever smiling Percy reminds me so much of my very missed late uncle, the short sleeve checked shirt also helped in that, so of coarse I thought he looked very spiffy indeed...
Alls well that ends well. Such a beautiful spot. You have amazing parents to have the foresight to have beautiful houses to live in surrounded with beautiful things. Love your father’s paintings. What an amazingly talented man. Every talent from your parents shine through to you. Truly you are blessed. It’s shines through in all you do & in your vlogs as well. Looking forward to more vlogs from South Africa.
Oh Stephanie this is my favorite vlog of yours so far , mummy and percy live in the most stunning house . The sound of the sea was magical . Thank you for sharing ❤️ xx
Such a beautiful place and looks very classy. So pleased mummy and percy are looking so well. I would be too scared to go on that beach getting through that wooded area.
This is amazing and it is is so nice to see everyone .. Nicks family Marie and Antoine✨and especially to know where your beautiful mum and Percy stay .. it would be hard to leave that place for sure it is absolutely souLfuL✨✨🌊🌊🌊🌕✨I grew up sleeping on the beach under the stArs
Stunning! I believe Afica is known biblically as the Garden of Eden. Breathe taking scenery!
I love that Percy can laugh at himself. He's such a lovely man
i couldn't understand why mummy and percy were always leaving lalande, but now i do! the house and the surroundings are absolutely idyllic. your father's artwork and his decorating style are right up my alley - love them!
Starting a new life at 80 is indeed inspirational!!! Yeah and cheers!
Many of us can only wish for what your Mama and Percy have at their age... lucky, lucky, lucy!
Oh I love Percy and Mummy....and enjoy your playful banter!!!!
Mummy and Percy look so happy together, they are such inspiration for what life should be, and how it's never to late to find love. Looks like you all had such a lovely vacation and your home is absolutely gorgeous.
What a lovely life. It's of a book! Two very contrasting homes in two different contrasting wonderful countries.That IS life!
Would love to hear about the South Africa connections and how you (mommy) come to have a home there. Could have watched for hours.
I second this!

OMG...Percy is absolutely PERFECT mate for Mummy.
His smile is so contagious. ❤️
They are so adorable.
You are an absolute delight! I am so proud of the paintings my mum Gerda van der Westhuizen gave you. I think she is your biggest fan!
I think we must send her to La Lande so she can paint the Chateau.
I wouldn’t want to leave home if my home was a chateau. Completely understood.
Besides the fact that LaLande and the beach house are both big, they couldn't be more different. Both lovely and, in a beautifull area.
What a wonderful spot for Mummy and Percy .I don't know how she has kept it quiet for so long xx
Jo Hanrahan I am very reserved!!!!!!
Thank you Stephanie for showing us this part of your life. Lovely to see mummy and Percy . Great Vlog. ❤️
I loved when her mother turned around and saw her, Me Smiling 🤗
