Does your brief call for a tree house or forested location? Save these three beauties! Here’s why they are popular shoot locations:

• The curvaceous canopy walkway at Kogelberg Canopy House gives elevated views that feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere yet you're only 90 minutes’ drive from Cape Town in Betty's Bay. The organic pod-shaped pool and mountain views make the perfect backdrop.

• Synergy Tree House is ideal for yoga and fitness shoots. It’s set in a canopy of protected milkwoods, with a beautiful entertaining deck and spectacular views along the Scarborough coastline. The upper bedroom feels as snug as a real tree house.

• The Tree House at Las Faldas has beautiful interiors by Liam Mooney, a natural eco pool and a Japanese-style ofuro overlooking the Constantia Winelands. A steep driveway comes with the territory… this is a tree house after all!

NEW: The Sentinel – our hottest Garden Route shoot location and architectural landmark has just launched in Plettenberg Bay.

There’s nothing modest about Architect Marielise van der Merwe’s sculptural design, a Brutalist concrete framework set over three levels with multiple photoshoot opportunities and angles. Organic circular openings puncture the facade, statement curved walls are wrapped in tiles. A one-tonne steel staircase anchors the interiors. Yet the bathrooms are dreamy, and mid-century inspired spaces cocooned with curated lighting.

Statement art and sculpture by @nandiphamntambo and @everard_read_johannesburg adds a distinctly African energy to this location on Beachy Head, one of Plett’s most prestigious addresses.

The Sentinel (sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms) is close to a host of other private hideaways for additional crew accommodation. Email natalie@perfecthideaways.co.za to book now!

We think Mozambique should be your next shoot destination: logistics couldn’t be easier with a quick flight from Jozi and a short transfer up the coast to these two beauties.

Starting with the plaited thatch ‘fringe’ and palm-skirted pillars of Saudade, designed for visual impact, seamless flow, diffuse light from dawn to dusk and jaw-dropping views. Add Villa Coco, conveniently situated next door, and your perfect photo op and accommodation options are sorted.

Imagine traditional dhows, an impossibly beautiful turquoise archipelago, sailing activities, plus gorgeous interiors that need absolutely no set dressing and you have Mozambique’s most sought-after combo.

She’s a winner!

Blackwood House has SO much more than meets the eye so why not come and have a look before the season’s madness begins?

We know you’ll love the versatile outdoor entertaining shoot spaces for summer!

The lowdown? Blackwood House is:
• Only 30 minutes from Cape Town International Airport.
• Sandwiched between the world-renowned Constantia vineyards, Hout Bay beach and the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive: the perfect base for a long-stay production crew – especially internationals.
• Just 30 minutes from the City: easy for last-minute pre-production.
• Close to many fabulous (and very private... read ‘celebrity private’) accommodation options for a location that requires the crew to remain incognito or go unnoticed during their stay. Need we say more?

Where work feels like a holiday…

Let’s unpack why KZN is having a moment…

Need tropical and lush? Tick. On a beach or lagoon? Absolutely. Warm? Pretty much the point. Laid-back? Guaranteed.

These coastal locations are a dream for productions. Palm-fringed gardens. Indian Ocean blues. Add easy coastal living, glorious light and that relaxed KZN energy, and you discover locations that look like a million dollars – without behaving like one.

Hideaways that bring the wow factor without needing much styling? Of course. From old-world thatch with broad stoeps to classic white for easy-breezy summer living, we’ve got them listed.

Better still, King Shaka International Airport makes getting crew, kit and talent to location refreshingly painless. Our North Coast locations are closest: no more than 20 to 40 minutes’ drive. Easy logistics. No drama. Less time spent travelling and more time getting the shot.

Some houses have all the ingredients for a chilling thriller. Think skewed angles, shadowy corridors, hidden corners and the kind of architectural details that leave the imagination running wild. From secret trap doors to creaking staircases and rooms that seem to hold their breath, the atmosphere is decidedly spooky.

Add a full moon, a howling jackal or a lone windmill and you have a Karoo location that ticks all the boxes.

A masterclass in soft architecture, where sculptural curves, graceful arches and sun-washed textures evoke the romance of the Mediterranean, Casa Sanchia is our newest shoot location in Scarborough. The best news? It’s just under an hour from Cape Town.

Bubble-worthy backdrops…

Bathrooms are rarely top of the shoot brief, but perhaps they should be. And when that brief lands, you know where to come… because the best bathrooms have personality!

Some are sleek and architectural, others charmingly imperfect. They may not be the largest rooms in the house, but they often steal the scene with their wallpaper, tiles and styling. And unlike some leading roles, they never complain about lighting! Here are few to get you started...

Lifestyle brief? Besides the adorable sheep on this working farm, with its apricot and nut orchards that are awash with spring blossom every year, you can explore on the coolest retro-styled e-bikes. Below the designer cabin is an equally glam pool and deck space framed by the rugged beauty of the Karoo. Expect game to roam past to the waterhole and abundant natural beauty. Jackals Rest is one of those rare finds that effortlessly delivers.
