Carolyn Steyn gives us a grand tour of Palazzo Steyn

Philanthropist, actress, and wife of billionaire Douw Steyn, Carolyn Steyn, gave the Scenic Drive a grand tour of her house, Palazzo Steyn.

She's a philanthropist, actress, patron of the arts, and creator of the 67 Blankets for Madiba charity - but she is also so much more!

Carolyn Steyn is a force to be reckoned with. She has overcome the loss of her mom, leaving Hollywood behind, and health scares to come out the other side kinder, stronger, and more determined than ever to make a difference in the world! 

After a dare from former President Nelson Mandela's assistant Zelda le Grange to knit 67 blankets, Carolyn roped in friends and family and the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela movement began. But, not even she knew how big it would become! 

Carolyn and her husband, Douw, donated R320 million to fight Covid-19 in South Africa.

Carolyn Steyn and her businessman husband, Douw Steyn, are one of South Africa's most well-known couples - and they are also known for their mansion, Palazzo Steyn. 

Palazzo Steyn has a designed golf course, solid Carrara marble staircase, a marble-floored garage, and much more. 

Steyn invited the Scenic Drive team into their mansion and gave us a grand tour.
