After the stress and pressure of living and working in the city, they dreamt of having their own little weekend getaway in the countryside. So, they decided to buy some land in the Eastern Free State and build a two-bedroom cottage – the kitchen of which they entered into our Fix it with Flair competition, having spent a mere R5 900!
