Hello, August. 🤍

A new month. A fresh chapter. A reminder that the most remarkable women don’t simply enter a room, they leave it better than they found it.

This Women’s Month, we celebrate the women who lead with kindness, grace, wisdom and quiet confidence. The ones who create beauty, build meaningful connections and inspire those around them simply by being themselves.

Here’s to celebrating every woman who brings value to every space she enters.

Happy Women’s Month from all of us at Houghton 1938. May August be filled with opportunities, memorable moments and reasons to celebrate. ✨

✨ The Lady behind Houghton 1938 ✨

Every grand home has a story.

But it takes a visionary to bring that story back to life.

Meet Jackie Collier, affectionately known as Lady Houghton 🤍

The woman who looked beyond walls, rooms and architecture and saw what this magnificent Cape Dutch heritage home could become.

With an eye for timeless beauty, an appreciation for history, and a love for creating unforgettable moments, Jackie transformed Houghton 1938 into more than a venue.

She created a place where candlelight dances against antique mirrors, where every corner holds a story, and where guests feel as though they have stepped into another era.

A home preserved.
A dream reimagined.
A legacy continued.

Welcome to Houghton 1938 ✨

Where history meets elegance.
