Ceres — it's not just about the Fruit

posted to: Activities and Things To Do, Western Cape

Share Ceres, in the Western Cape, is named for the Roman god­dess of the har­vest and plenty. Living up to this name, the town has a repu­ta­tion as one of the best fruit grow­ing areas in South Africa, and accounts for a large amount of the pro­duc­tion of decidu­ous and other fruit in the Cape.

Long Beach in Noordhoek

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape

Share There is a beach that will always take my breath away, no mat­ter how many times I’ve seen it. Long Beach, in Noordhoek, loc­ated on the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town, en route to Cape Point, is named as such for its great expanse and stretch, right through to Kommetjie. The beach is not [...]

The KwaZulu Natal South Coast

posted to: KwaZulu Natal, Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives

Share It is easy, when driv­ing through most of the South Coast area of KwaZulu Natal, to ima­gine that you have been trans­por­ted to a trop­ical island. Roads are edged with lush green veget­a­tion, or the ubi­quit­ous sugar cane and banana plant­a­tions. Towns such as Umkomaas, renowned for its angling, as well as a top [...]

Glorious Gordons Bay

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape

Share The area known today as Gordon’s Bay was named after Captain Robert James Gordon, an officer in the Dutch East India Company, who explored the area in 1778, how­ever, for many years before that, the area was known as Fish Hoek – the same name as another town on the oppos­ite side of False [...]

Neighbourgoods Market in Cape Town

posted to: Activities and Things To Do, Western Cape

Share The Neighbourgoods Market based at 'The Old Biscuit Mill' in Woodstock, is Cape Town’s answer to world renowned mar­kets such as Portobello Market in the U.K. It has a ded­ic­ated fol­low­ing of fash­ionis­tas, fam­il­ies, chefs, sin­geltons, hip­pies, yup­pies and just about any other per­son who appre­ci­ates great food and atmo­sphere and some­thing truly unique [...]

Heads we take the N1, Tails the N2

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape

One sunny morn­ing, two national high­ways that lead you to Franschhoek and three reas­ons to visit; in order of appear­ance scenery, wine and food. Be warned though what starts as a happy break­fast will evolve into an even hap­pier lunch and a bor­der­line ecstatic dinner ...

Festivals in the Cape

posted to: Annual Events and Festivals, Western Cape

Share The amaz­ing vari­ety of fest­ivals in and around the Western Cape is evid­ence of the fact that Capetonians like to cel­eb­rate. Having recently exper­i­enced the epic, eco-friendly Rocking the Daisies music fest­ival in Darling, I can attest to the fact Cape Town’s party spirit is alive and well. Capetonians don’t just rock ‘n roll however. [...]

Majestic Muizenberg

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, Western Cape

Share With the faded opu­lence of its grand old manor houses lin­ing the seafront, its retro children’s play­grounds and vin­tage soft drink advert­ise­ments that have been bleached by the sun, Muizenberg wears its past on its sleeve and seems akin to stum­bling upon a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party! One can eas­ily ima­gine the sight of sun [...]
