tepping into the Bentote family’s eclectic and stylish Shek O home, it’s
easy to see what first drew them to this tranquil beachfront corner of Hong
Kong. Along with six-year-old Imogen and three-year-old Ethan, Cat and
Andy originally relocated to Stanley from Shanghai, where they had spent
four years soaking up the city’s vibrant culture and international lifestyle.
In Cat’s own words, “After a year in Stanley enjoying long-forgotten favourites in the
grocery store we began tomiss China and all themind-blowing things we experienced
there each day. In a smaller and quieter way, Shek O offers the same authenticity and
uniqueness,” and so the family once again upped sticks and headed to their current
location, an 1,800-square-foot ground-floor apartment in Shek O village.
A relaxed family home with some surprisingly chic additions
make the Shek O pad of CAT BENTOTE a beachside retreat
with a difference.
