DescriptionBrief History of Sithela Sithela… owned by the Kinsey family, and set high on a hill overlooking the warm Indian Ocean, is a large part of a family estate. Purchased in 1936 as a 46 acre farm by Kate and Billy Deeks, now fondly remembered by the Kinsey’s as “Grandpa Deeks”. The entire property, including a more recently acquired 45 acres lies within the township of Munster and the Hibiscus Coast Municipality area and lies within 400m – 1000m from the Indian Ocean, which is washed by the warm Mozambican Current. Kathleen Kinsey (nee’Deeks), daughter of Kate & Billy Deeks, inherited the farm and it was her wish to declare the riverine and wetland area (17 acres) of the farm as private reserve area (this borders on the Thongazi River and the township of Glenmore). Local, long residing residents of the area fondly remember this area as “Kinsey Hill”. Currently 3 Kinsey families reside on the estate, now divided into “Phola Moya”, “Zulwini” and “Sithela”. The first house, “Sea Cottage” (no longer part of the property), was built in 1949. “Phola Moya” was built in 1966 and “Sithela” was completed in 1983. A fine architectural accomplishment designed by Rod & Lyn Kinsey and Toi Skellern Architects (Uvongo).
