Among the private houses he designed are Pitgaveney in Baird Street, Greywalls in Kings Road and Haamar House next door (which he designed for himself and which was originally called Kya Rosa ('Red House' in Afrikaans). Haamar House is a very special home and was built around 1929. The property has high ceilings, open fires in two of the reception rooms, a gas fire and other sealed replaces.

Sheltering beneath the cliffs is the town’s pretty harbour, where there is a museum and a seafood restaurant set in a 16th century jail, as well as the historic Ship Inn and the Marine Hotel, which brews it own beers. The town hosts an annual real ale festival in June. Along the bay is an award-winning fish and chip shop and an Olympic-sized Art Deco open air swimming pool where, in the summer, you can swim under the stars in water that is heated to a balmy 29 degrees. The town hosts its world famous Hogmanay fire ball procession and a music event on New Year’s Eve in the town centre.
