Girls afternoon in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, lunch and pampering

Dutch in Wynberg

Dutch in Wynberg

We organ­ised a sur­prise after­noon for a friend’s birth­day on Saturday and what a fun day it turned out to be.  After a num­ber of emails through­out the week we all met at Dutch in Wynberg at 12.30 — ss men­tioned, the after­noon was a sur­prise so it was fun to see the look of sur­prise (excuse the pun) on Sarah’s face when I parked next to her and waved through the win­dow.  ‘Helen’s here, that’s a coin­cid­ence’ she thought to herself!

Dutch is tucked at the back of a beau­ti­ful old house in Wynberg — other parts of the house are shared with Alison’s Florist and Kiids.  Although the inside space is small, it doesn’t seem squashed and there is ample space in the out­side garden area.  Inside, the walls are painted a dark grey and pho­tos cover most of a large wall.  Orange, the national col­our of Holland makes an appear­ance in a num­ber of the pho­tos on the wall and in some of the fur­niture dot­ted around the inside seat­ing area — genius idea!

At the Spa

We all know that the term 'met­ro­sexual' is now a little passé, with few people even able to remem­ber a time when guys didn't cleanse and mois­tur­ise. We men, how­ever, are still a little behind on the evol­u­tion­ary lad­der of bod­ily beauty. The spa exper­i­ence, so loved by the men of ancient Rome for its reju­ven­at­ing prop­er­ties, is a fem­in­ine secret that has been sadly over­looked by con­tem­por­ary males. Until now ...

"Most men choose between deep tis­sue, sports mas­sage, Swedish or reflex­o­logy," says spa ther­ap­ist Kate Woolley. And she should know. Working in a pop­u­lar spa in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, Kate has watched the resur­gence of male pat­ron­age of spas with interest. "There is def­in­itely an increase in the num­ber of men util­iz­ing spas and tak­ing more care of them­selves" she says. But mas­sage is not the only option for guys want­ing to indulge them­selves a little ... Continued
