Melonwoods: Handcrafted for Your Home
by The Ballito Writer · May 28, 2026 · 2 min read

Launching Melonwoods as new owners in October of last year, it was essential for us to build strong relationships within our community, beginning with our local suppliers. Our reputation for outstanding craftsmanship is rooted in these connections. We offer a wide range of designs to suit different styles, with furniture thoughtfully curated for our coastal summers, using real wood for longevity and treating all steel work to withstand coastal weather.

We were drawn to Melonwoods for its reputation for quality and timeless designs. Previously, I co-owned an online lifestyle business with my sister in Johannesburg, where we designed and manufactured our own furniture and décor. When Melonwoods came up for sale, my husband and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to work creatively within the same industry, while building on a trusted name known for beautiful pieces. Durran has many years of experience in operations, so we knew this was a great opportunity.
We’re so excited to be heading to Jakarta this March for the IFEX show in collaboration with the Indonesian Consulate of Trading. This event is a fantastic opportunity to discover fresh furniture designs that we’ll be importing and adding to our curated Melonwoods collection; pieces that are distinctive, authentic, and aligned with our brand’s vision.
Adding to the excitement, we have a new shipment arriving mid-year featuring contemporary styles with a coastal-inspired vibe. These designs will bring a refreshing, modern touch to our range, perfectly suited for coastal living.
At Melonwoods, our team of five dedicated staff members each brings something unique and dynamic to the brand. As a small company, we pride ourselves on offering a personal touch, whether you’re visiting us in-store or browsing online. Our shop is like a treasure chest, always filled with new and interesting finds, ensuring that every visit uncovers something special.
We’re also excited to share that our updated website will be launching shortly, making shopping with us even easier and more enjoyable. With our strengthened online presence, we’re able to supply customers throughout South Africa, bringing our curated collection directly to your doorstep.
