Villa Sibuya presents itself as an exquisite holiday retreat, meticulously crafted and completed in early 2024, accommodating up to 6 guests. The name “Sibuya” derives from Zulu, translating to “we return,” a reflection of the profound connection felt by the villa’s owners to South Africa’s captivating landscapes, diverse wildlife, and welcoming communities from their inaugural visit. Zandspruit Estate, embodying these elements flawlessly, has become a cherished destination they eagerly revisit. With open arms, the owners extend an invitation for guests to share in this sentiment, hoping that a stay in their villa will evoke the same sentiment: “we’ll be back”… Sibuya. Nestled upon a sprawling plot spanning 9000 m2, Villa Sibuya ensures serenity and seclusion. Surrounded by lush foliage, including a variety of trees and shrubs, the property fosters an environment teeming with birdlife and benign wildlife.

Two bedrooms feature double beds, while the third accommodates two single beds, all outfitted in king-size dimensions. Each bedroom is appointed with individual air conditioning units and fans for personalized comfort. The master bedroom indulges in an en-suite bathroom, complete with a bathtub, while a second bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, both offering outdoor showers to immerse guests in the authentic ambiance of an African wilderness experience. The expansive and luminous living room exudes an ambiance of understated elegance, complemented by natural hues and expansive sliding doors that frame picturesque vistas. A dining table within the living area facilitates intimate indoor dining on cooler evenings.
