#FromHookToCook - Bistro Sixteen82 as featured on Carte Blanche
In November last year, we partnered with the ABALOBI initiative: a series of smartphone apps which enable local fishers to sell fish directly to restaurants without the middleman. This means that we receive fish of a higher quality and the fishers receive more money for their catch. The story was recently aired on Carte Blanche and received fantastic feedback. View the clip.

Edoardo Villa - South African Sculptor
With the Norval Foundation Art Gallery having opened up next door; we thought we would highlight a sculptor whose artwork pieces can be found on our estate and have also been chosen by the curators of the Norval Foundation to display in their gallery.

Edoardo Villa, originally of Italian descent, was a notable South African sculptor who worked primarily in steel and bronze. Villa was a prisoner of World War ll, captured by the English and kept in Egypt. He was then shipped to South Africa where he spent the next four years at the Zonderwater prisoner of war camp. After his release, Villa remained in South Africa. Graham Beck became a good friend of Villa and an avid follower and admirer of his work. The Graham Beck art collection has a substantial number of Villa artworks which are placed on Steenberg Estate and the Graham Beck estate in Robertson. Take a walk around the gardens at Steenberg Hotel & Spa and you will view a total of 7 sculptures.
