Couple buys 100-year-old cottage

A South African couple who’ve been married for four years recently moved from Cape Town to the countryside. The lovers bought a 100-year-old cottage in Napier and documented their transition.

The move was an exhausting one as they packed up all of their belongings and drove outside the city to reach their final destination in the Western Cape. Their dog and great conversation kept them going as the moving truck followed behind them.

When they got to their new house, they had to turn it into a home with their furniture. In between, the couple enjoyed a snack and celebrated their incredible achievement by popping a bottle of champagne and chilling on their porch.

The dreamy cottage looked like something that popped out of Shonda Rhimes’ hit Netflix show, Bridgerton. It was surrounded by beautiful plants, giving it an enchanted feel.

The wife filmed and posted their vlog on TikTok with the caption:

“This journey was long and exhausting, but so worth it. We bought a 100-year-old cottage and we absolutely love it!”
