It’s not a huge secret that I absolutely love the West Coast. It’s a harsh, unforgiving, beautiful part of our country. And in many ways it’s probably still South Africa’s best kept secret in many ways. Now, that said, if you want a taste of West Coast luxury, you don’t need to look further than [...]
There are a lot of things that strike you when you first get out of your car at The Strandloper. Sea, sand, seagulls, rocks, fishing nets, the smell of wood burning. Then there are all those old fishing boats that have seriously seen some better days. But if they truth be told, they’re probably a [...]
Blown away. Not by the wind, but by the passion that Lida and Elsabe who will host you and your guests at Leipzig Country House have for their venue. They are hospitable, warm, friendly and full of stories about the estate. Legendary stuff. (You get the feeling that Lida has many, many tales to tell [...]
Vineyards, a long gravel driveway, old wagons, wide-open paddocks, a bridge, a huge fallen down oak tree, an old African-styled rondavel and we haven’t even arrived at the main venue yet. Welcome to Nelson’s Creek where the hosts are warm (as is the weather), the food is good and the general ambience is pretty darned [...]
Franschhoek isn’t simply world renowned for the 1820 Settlers that trudged on in back in the day. It just has to be one of the finest towns in the world. Arty, coffee shops, mountains, awesome views, vineyards, seriously palatable wines, blah, blah, flippin’ blah (how jealous must some overseas towns be when it comes to [...]
I know this guy on the West Coast who braai’s the meanest steaks in the world. The steaks at Kanu challenge him big time. Not that Kanu simply braai steaks – they prepare them in the kitchen with proper love and it shows. They also prepare the rest of their buffet with proper love. They [...]
If food is important to you, I can absolutely guarantee you that you won’t need to look too much further than Buitenverwachting. Look, I’m by no means a food critic, but man, they can put a plate of food together. And the portions are more than adequate. Their steak is just outstanding (and yes, [...]
Val de Vie
It’s very easy to describe Val de Vie Wine & Polo Estate. And it only takes one word: Phenomenal.
I shouldn’t say another word about this utterly awesome venue, because ‘phenomenal’ really does sum it up. But hey, let’s live on the edge. From the moment I arrived there to shoot the SA Weddings [...]
I’ve always been a really firm believer in the fact that you need to think very carefully about your setting because when you get your photographs back, the venue and setting are going to speak volumes! And if you’re going to have photographs of your guests eagerly tucking into sumptuous fare and sipping on [...]
Sharon and Zaren run a pretty tight ship out at Mofam. They’re terrific people, full of infectious personality and when you meet them, you’ll feel as though they’ve been your mates forever. There’s no room for mediocrity here. The food is good, the setting beautiful and the accommodation is in the form of wooden [...]
