"Quiet Waters"

Forty years of Quiet Waters has been a huge part of Hans and Jessie's life with each other and their family and friends. The place resonates with Jessie's roots in the soil, Hans's abiding love of water and the outdoors, and their common joy in homebuilding and gardening. Quiet Waters house

For their children, "the Farm" offered a remarkable way for city kids to build a relationship with nature. Bee-keeping, wood chopping, boating and swimming, it was and still is a little paradise that Hans and Jessie had the foresight to buy on the strength of a little classified ad in the Cape Argus while their children were still babies.
