Simply Bee Natural Beeswax Products
Simply Bee crafts an impressive range of environmentally friendly, additive-free, and totally natural beeswax products from the raw materials obtained from the family-run business’ collection of bee hives.

Block & Chisel Designer Furniture and Décor
With several locations in Cape Town and Johannesburg attesting to their enormous success, Block & Chisel is a designer furniture and décor store where you can find lovingly curated and unique collections. Their style is very much informed and inspired by antique furniture, which has lead to the rough hewn, handcrafted pieces that they produce today. Block & Chisel started in 1987 with Master Cabinet Maker Sibley McAdam, who has a passion for traditional quality and craftsmanship, and wife Lynn McAdam who brings an intuitive eye for timeless quality and great design. It is the partnership between these two, and between raw talent and practiced craftsmanship that builds furniture and décor to complement the kind of lifestyle dk villas wishes to create for its guests.

Established in 2007, Beachsand is essentially a lifestyle shop that sells furniture, décor items, lamps, and textiles, with a particular emphasis on nautical, beach-themes: aesthetics that appear calm and tranquil to the eye. Beachsand sources their beautiful array of products throughout the world and brings them to our shores, as well as having many items specifically crafted for its shelves. Think: furniture made from driftwood and reclaimed hard woods from India (there’s an emphasis on sustainability and recycling). If you’re looking for something unique to breath new life into a room, Beachsand at Tygervalley Shopping Centre is absolutely worth a visit and you’ll see plenty of its inspiration throughout dk villas’ properties.
