Mengel Cottage in Diep River is a picture-perfect filming location, combining suburban charm with warm, character-filled spaces. The home’s exterior is classic and timeless, with whitewashed walls, blue shutters, a tiled roof, and a neatly landscaped front garden framed by mature trees – an ideal setting for street or family scenes. Inside, the cottage offers bright, homely interiors with a cozy kitchen at its heart. White cabinetry, open shelving with cookbooks and ceramics, and a rustic wooden dining table surrounded by eclectic wooden and rattan chairs create an authentic, lived-in atmosphere. A wood-burning stove adds a touch of character, while large windows bathe the rooms in natural light. French doors open out onto a private brick-paved courtyard, where a central tree, vibrant bougainvillea, and lush potted plants provide a Mediterranean-style garden feel.
