Oakvale
Collection

Welcome to Oakvale Collection, where every property has a story to tell. Each one is carefully chosen for its setting, character and sense of place, offering something a little different while staying true to the Oakvale experience. From thoughtfully designed interiors to spaces made for relaxing and spending time together, our properties are created with the people who stay in them at heart. Our properties are places to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the moments that matter, whether that means a long lunch with family, a weekend away with friends or simply making memories in a beautiful setting.

Collection Story

Long before the Oakvale Collection was officially established in 2021, it began with the Ekdahl family's vision of opening their homes to others. The idea was simple: to create beautiful spaces that combined elegant style with the warmth and comfort of a family home.

Today, the collection includes two distinctive properties: Villa Sand in Åhus, Sweden, and Oakvale Estate in the heart of Franschhoek. While each has its own character and sense of place, both reflect the original vision of our founders: to create private retreats where people can slow down, connect, stay active and spend meaningful time together.

Collection Values

The Oakvale Collection is about more than creating beautiful places to stay. We believe in being part of the communities that surround our estates and making a positive difference in the places we call home. Our hope is to create a lasting impact that extends beyond the properties themselves, supporting and uplifting the people and communities around us.
