Cosy up to your AGA Fireplace this Winter


A warm fire is one of the great pleasures of Winter, and an AGA fireplace is the one you want to cosy up to. The iconic brand is synonymous with quality and innovation. For over 90 years AGA has remained at the forefront of engineering excellence. With timeless design features and excellent heat retention, an AGA fireplace the best money can buy.


The AGA range of fireplaces embodies the best AGA traditions and employs the very latest technology. It is an iconic centrepiece and has features which you don’t see, that makes all the difference. Such as the Active Airflow Technology that delivers the most efficient use of energy and protects the environment from harmful emissions. Fresh air is channelled below, around and about the fire box to create the optimum conditions for combustion. Any solid particles and gases produced are re-ignited and burnt off before they can enter the atmosphere. This process not only guarantees maximum heat output from your chosen fuel but also keeps the window clean and clear so that you can enjoy the ambience of the flames.


The AGA range includes a wide variety of styles to suit all tastes - from traditional to contemporary: 
Made from cast iron, traditional AGA fireplaces are not only beautiful to look at, but practical to run because cast iron is renowned for its heat retention properties. The heat stored while the fire is lit continues to be released into the room long after the embers have died away.
Made from high grade steel which allows for truly inspiring modern designs that will attract attention in any space.
The perfect blend of old and new, combining cutting-edge and traditional designs, AGA fireplaces are an investment for your home and a lifetime of warm winter nights.

The AGA range is available directly from AGA South Africa and a selection from Bergzichts Furnishers, Euro Appliances, Gas & Equipment, Metelerkamps, Melvill and Moon and Décor Fires.

Recognised as the world's best cooking appliance, the AGA oven commands a level of adulation more often associated with the glitz of Hollywood fame -- and generates similar devotion. It's deemed the number one luxury appliance brand and is revered as one of the top three design icons of the century. It's the kitchen centrepiece of Celebrities, Professional Chefs, Royalty and discerning Homeowners across the globe.

SA’s House of the Year Announced


Added Luxury wins the House and Leisure blogger challenge by accurately predicting the House of the Year. #HLHOTY


House and Leisure in association with SA Home Loans, is proud to announce the winning house in this year’s competition. Craig and Colleen Sutherland’s Higgovale home in Cape Town attracted the most votes from House and Leisure readers and was named the winning house at an event held in Cape Town last night.

“This year’s winning house was a big favourite with readers and emerged as a clear winner early in the voting stage,” says Editor Naomi Larkin. “And it’s easy to see why; the perfect combination of natural elements, open flow and family-orientated functionality.”

Launched nine years ago, the House and Leisure House of the Year competition is the oldest and most respected competition of its kind in South Africa, showcasing the architectural diversity and unique décor and home-lifestyles of this country.

The 11 finalists were all taken from the House of the Month feature in the magazine over the 2012/2013 period. Readers were encouraged to vote for their favourite house and stood to win R30 000 courtesy of SA Home Loans. The winner of the grand prize is Emma Livesey of Wellington.

“It is a constant source of inspiration to see the flair and imagination that manifest themselves in the 11 homes of the finalists in this year’s competition,” says Kevin Penwarden, CEO of SA Home Loans. “We are proud to once again be the sponsors of House and Leisure’s House of the Year and this year we are delighted to be offering a R30 000 cash prize to the lucky reader who correctly chose the winning house.”

House and Leisure - House of the Year 2013


Showcasing eleven amazing homes, all unique and special, appealing to a variety of styles and tastes the House and Leisure House of the Year 2013 competition delivers some of the most exceptional homes in the country.


Narrowing options down to my top 3 was a tough decision between Go with the flow, A clean start and Barefoot luxury choosing number one took some deliberation. In the end House #9, A clean start captured the imagination most.


The epitome of a family home with an earth-toned aesthetic its use of space and natural materials is made for living. The minimalist interiors don’t challenge its natural surroundings or its spectacular outlook over the city.

A passion for contemporary architecture and the needs of a growing family informed the design of this modern marvel set on the slopes of Higgovale, Cape Town. The owner a respected structural engineer with a clear vision for his dream family home, it’s little wonder this striking dwelling checks the boxes when it comes to design and the lifestyle it affords its occupants.


A complete rebuild of the previous house, two architecture firms were brought on board, SAOTA and Three14 Architects, which handled its conceptual and more detailed aspects respectively. The result is a multi-level abode in off-shutter concrete and glass juxtaposed with natural stone, warm timbers and polished concrete floors.

Creating a tailor-made courtyard home with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere around a welcoming central kitchen and multiple entertainment areas. The house takes an honest approach to aesthetics with an expression of tactile materials remaining cutting edge with clean lines and details.


Owners Craig and Colleen Sutherland. Home design by Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects (SAOTA), saota.com; Three14 Architects, three14.co.za and Sutherland Multidisciplinary Engineers, sutheng.co.za.

The House of the Year Competition ends 31 August 2013.


Vote for your favourite – the one that epitomises you! By voting, you will not only stand a chance to see your favourite home win; you could also be the winner of R30 000, courtesy of SA Home Loans.

A proud sponsor of the competition for the past two years. It’s a perfect match: a home-loan provider that offers an amazing home-loan experience and a publication that provides pure inspiration to homeowners. SA’s only non-bank home-loan provider the company believes in the personal touch and has a team of specialist consultants dedicated to their task for 11 years.



Last year a contemporary Hout Bay home in Cape Town, designed by architect Paolo Deliperi, took top honours. Inspired by its natural surrounds, it is cleverly staggered over four levels and follows the contours of the land, making liberal use of wood, glass and steel to maximise outdoor living and breathtaking views.

Happy voting – and, if you win, happy spending!


Vote for your favourite house online or by sending an SMS that reads ‘HL, House (the number of your choice)’ and your name to 35443. Each SMS costs R1, 50. You may vote as many times as you wish via SMS, as well as online.

GROHE Multi-spray Rainshower® F-Series Pleasure to the Power of Three


New head and ceiling showers in the GROHE SPA Collection offer excellent freedom of choice in creating personalised shower combinations creating showering pleasure to the power of three with the multi-spray variant to its Rainshower® F-Series


The Rainshower® F-Series showers are among the classics in the GROHE SPA Collection and offer the perfect choice for anyone looking to turn their daily shower into a personalised feel-good experience. Now the launch of the Rainshower® F-Series Multi Spray 15" adds a whole new dimension of customisation to private spas. 


The new head and ceiling showers feature three different spray patterns for gentle vitalisation, a stress-reducing massage using the GROHE Bokoma Spray™ or a refreshing XL waterfall spray otherwise found only in well-equipped saunas.

In keeping with the modular concept behind the GROHE F-Series, GROHE Rainshower® F-Series Multi Spray 15" can be combined or complemented to perfection with other products from the GROHE F-Series such as Grohtherm F, F-digital Deluxe or other F-Series showers from GROHE.


Enjoy virtually unlimited possibilities

Benefit from the positive effects of water and add a touch of luxury to your home – the multifunctional GROHE Rainshower® F-Series Multi Spray 15" showers offer a choice between three different spray types.

The centrally positioned Rain Spray measures 300 millimetres in diameter and gently pampers the skin. Positioned in the four corners, the GROHE Bokoma Spray™ nozzles provide a tingling, refreshing massage, while the two parallel XL waterfall nozzles may be switched on and off individually for pure refreshment.

Moreover, the individual spray patterns may also be combined at will. The head shower measures 380 millimetres in width, approx. 680 millimetres in depth and 60 millimetres in height. With its depth of approx. 460 millimetres and a height of 17 millimetres, the high-quality ceiling shower becomes part of the bathroom architecture and blends into the room, emphasising its authentic spa-style look.


A customised showering experience

As more and more people are looking to create a customised feel-good experience in the comfort of their own homes, GROHE SPATM offers what it takes to turn a bathroom into a private spa. This modular design concept ensures maximum creative freedom and allows the individual products to be freely combined for a harmonious overall look.


Thanks to GROHE Rainshower® F-Series Multi Spray, users now benefit from even more possibilities to create their own holistic spa experience. The new multifunctional shower ideally matches the minimalist Sena hand shower, for instance.

A high quality relaxation zone can be created by additionally installing GROHE SPA™ F-digital Deluxe, the shower system that uses light, sound and steam to stimulate all senses. Moreover, the multi-spray variants ideally match the design of the other showers from the Rainshower® F-Series.

The GROHE SPA F-Series offers a full range of options for enjoying your personal spa programme on a daily basis.
