Elaine and Bryan are always on the lookout for a place that serves a good cup of coffee or cappuccino. Bingo !! They found one on the North Coast. To be precise it’s located in Shaka’s Rock on the main road between Ballito and Salt Rock so it’s easy to find. If you blink you miss it. “This hidden gem, the oldest …
What is a seaside holiday without an ice cream .. or two ? Most especially if it’s your first one !!! Mommy is very particular what goes into that little mouth. Emma has a very healthy diet. Ice creams are a no-no. From now onwards, on special occasions, there may be exceptions to the rule. …
One more, the last to be exact, stepping back to November last year post. This time hubby and I took Daniella, my favourite niece and wine tasting buddy to Rust en Vrede Wine Estate in Stellenbosch for lunch and wine tasting. Done in that order. Best way to do it actually. Fill your tummy with the most succulent and …
Rewind to our Cape holiday in November last year. This was when we discovered the new and improved Coffee Roasting Co. at Lourensford Wine Estate and as it was a Sunday, the market which is held every Sunday. Another thing I did not know! Having travelled down to the Cape, specifically Somerset West over the past 13 …
Stepping back in time. November last year. Hubby and I, and my wine-tasting-buddy-and-extra-special-niece Daniella enjoyed a spot of wine tasting and lunch in the cosy and warm wine tasting room and restaurant of Ernie Els Wines in Stellenbosch.

Lourensford Wine Estate with a mountainous backdrop, not only has excellent wines and wine tasting, a super restaurant and a very good coffee shop but also has a beautiful indigenous garden. On our last visit in November last year I noticed quite a lot of new plantings of borders and beds. Just a few months later and …
Hubby and I were on our own on this day. Morgenster Wine and Olive Estate is another favourite wine tasting experience of ours and decided it was time for a re-visit as we hadn’t been for a couple of years. It’s always lovely sitting in the wine tasting room or on a perfect day, on the patio …
Following on from my last post, we made our way back to Stellenbosch from Franschhoek to Rust en Vrede, one of our favourite wine estates. Having the estate’s sirloin steak lunch served with salad, chips and a glass of their delicious Syrah was a must for Gavin and Kathy who had experienced this deliciousness two years …
Our first full day with Gavin and Kathy in the Somerset West/Stellenbosch region of the Western Cape : We took a leisurely drive through Stellenbosch to Franschhoek .. Gav and Kathy had never been there so naturally we had to take them there for coffee before winding our way back to Stellenbosch for lunch at …
