“I’ve always kept my eye on this gorgeous village and wonderful community,” says Catalina Baliña of Stanford in the Western Cape. Catalina, a former trade sales manager at Biggie Best, originally hails from Argentina and since moving to South Africa 20 years ago, this little town in the heart of the Overberg has been a regular summer holiday destination for her and her family. “It’s always been the place where everybody gathers from all corners of the world to spend quality time together,” she says.
When her daughter Clara finished matric in Cape Town, Catalina and her life partner Ronnie Batchelor, who worked in the shipping industry for almost 40 years, decided that they needed a change of scenery. And Stanford was calling their names.
