LICHEN ROCK ON BEACH ROAD is owned by the de Combes family, who for the past 40 years have lived in Scarborough.

Steven and Juliette have traveled extensively around sub-equitorial Africa collecting artefacts, which have appeared in numerous shops, exhibitions and private collections throughout the world. Their interiors and artefacts have appeared in two coffee table books; South Africa - Private Worlds by Solvi Dos Santos (ISBN1-84091-047-X) and Seeing Red by Stephanie Hoppen (ISBN1-903116-24-4).

Juliette, who also takes on photographic commissions for portraiture, private collections and functions, was responsible for a lot of the photographs featured in this web site.

They are currently in the process of putting together a shop at The Cape Farm at the foot of Redhill next to the stone carvers - due to open in February 2006. Watch this space!

Note from Juliette and Steven – “Enjoy this amazing wonderful place. We’ve been living here for years, and each day brings new discoveries, new adventures and a truly wholesome way of life. We ask that you respect the speed limit - Tortoises, snakes, guinea fowl, frogs, otters, baboons, buck and of course surfers, children and people like you and me all need to safely use the road, and it is with your patience and respect that this can happen – Thank you!”
