Hanks Torheit

Escape to the peaceful countryside at Hank’s Folly, a charming stone retreat nestled in Wapengo on the beautiful Sapphire Coast. Perched on a hill overlooking a wildlife-rich dam and sweeping rural landscapes, this spacious getaway invites you to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and enjoy the simple pleasures of country living, with air-conditioning for warmer days and an indoor fireplace for cosy evenings.



The Space

Surrounded by the tranquil countryside of Wapengo, Hank’s Folly is a delightful stone retreat where country charm meets the freedom of a spacious getaway. Set on a hill overlooking a picturesque dam frequented by local wildlife, the property offers a peaceful backdrop for leisurely mornings, relaxed afternoons, and evenings spent unwinding away from the everyday rush.



Inside, the home offers generous space for families and groups to come together while enjoying flexible sleeping arrangements. Three bedrooms provide comfortable places to rest, while an optional sitting room can be transformed into a fourth bedroom when extra sleeping space is needed. The third bedroom also includes a pull-out double sofa bed, giving larger groups additional flexibility.



The home's two-level layout offers distinct spaces to gather and unwind. The kitchen provides a place to prepare meals and share time together, while the sitting room offers another spot to settle in after a day exploring the Sapphire Coast. Please note that two steps separate the kitchen and sitting room, and bedrooms two and four are located downstairs.



When it's time to relax, enjoy the comfort of air-conditioning on warmer days or settle in beside the indoor fireplace during cooler weather. Starlink Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while the front-load washing machine adds convenience for longer stays.



With two full bathrooms and a separate powder room, getting ready for the day is easier for groups travelling together. Venture out to discover nearby beaches, scenic coastal drives, and the natural beauty of the surrounding region, or simply enjoy the quiet rural outlook and the slower pace of life at Hank’s Folly.
