When 15th century Portuguese seafarers rounded this most Southerly tip of the African continent, they stood in amazement as the needle of their compass showed no deviation between true North and magnetic North. This magical event, coupled with the sharp, saw edged rock formations of the coast inspired to name the tip "Cabo das Agulhas" or the "Cape of Needles". Casa Dos Milagres (House of Wonders) was build along the border of the Cape Agulhas National Park. Its location offers timeless, breathtaking views on the prestigious "Fynbos" vegetation (Cape Floral Kingdom) and is the distinct meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
It's unique round shape bounces off the prevailing South Eastern Winds in summer and North Western Winds in winter and provides the perfect shelter for an exclusive, unforgettable stay. The proximity of the oceans guarantees a moderate climate with temperatures ranging between 12 and 28C according to the season. The architecture of the house, inspired by Mario Botha, was adapted by its owners. They were using the abundant lime in the area to create original marmorinos on the walls. The curves of the building are repeated in acid stained floors and lime walls.
