*This episode is brought to you by Pecanwood Estate, a gated golf and lifestyle estate that allows for wellness, balance and peaceful community living near Johannesburg.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking about escaping the city lifestyle and wondered what your life might look like when you live in a gated lifestyle estate in South Africa, this episode’s for you.

In today’s fast-paced world, more and more South Africans are seeking a different rhythm – one rooted in intention, nature, community and safety. As I stepped into Pecanwood Estate’s Boathouse Restaurant for this episode’s conversation with Shoni Makhari, one of the estate’s directors, I was instantly transported to the Seychelles’ capital, Mahe. While there is no ocean at this peaceful estate near Johannesburg, there certainly is enough water to give it a similar feel and the incredible calmness of the environment I stepped into at this family-friendly lifestyle estate was magical. In this episode, Shoni and I step into the gates of this estate - one of South Africa’s more established lifestyle estates - not just to find out about its offering and the benefits of living in a South African estate, but also to explore why choosing a modern estate lifestyle like this might be one of the most meaningful decisions for those craving a richer, more connected, slow lifestyle.
