Under the wide sky you can find a lovely place like Kimberley, the art of living. A place you can call home. 

Kimberley is the capital and largest city of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It is located approximately 110 km east of the confluence of the Vaal and Orange Rivers. The city has considerable historical significance due to its diamond mining past and the siege during the Second Boer War.

Kimberley might be the largest city in the Northern Cape but we live here as a family. In this city, we support each other.  It is a warm and comfortable feeling you will get once you are here, all the beautiful history to discover and learn about.
