As a person who appreciates nature, and plants in particular, the Stellenberg Gardens were an absolute treat to visit. Talk about #gardengoals. The beautiful private gardens are open to the public one weekend a year, and this year, my family and I visited. What I loved most about the garden is how diverse the plant […]
Cool Spots
Green Musings / Kleinmond Nursery
Its not secret that I adore plants. So when I stumbled upon the lovely Bistro 14 in Kleinmond that is part-bistro, part-nursery, I couldn’t help but love it! They serve the loveliest smoothies and cakes – perfect for Sunday afternoon tea! I strolled around the little nursery and took some snaps. Hope you enjoy my green […]
Green Musings / Babylonstoren
Babylonstoren is one of my favourite places. I could spend all day sipping their deliciously fresh juices and eating popsicles made from fresh fruits and herbs straight off the farm. I adore the many gardens, each with their own unique beauty. Its such a treat to have a good old stroll through this lovely, peaceful […]
Sunday Sipping / Kahvé Road
Last Sunday, I had a quick coffee date with my mum. We came across a exquisite coffee bar and patisserie, Kahvé Road. As soon as you step inside, its easy to forget that you’re in the middle of a suburban mall. The leather upholstery, dramatic lighting, and moody interiors make for an incredible ambience. They […]
Sunday Sipping / Crème de Levain
On Sunday, we were treated to a taste of Spring here in Cape Town, with the sun making an appearance and the iciness in the air taking a day off. My family decided to take advantage of this, and I found myself in the lovely little town of Stellenbosch. A Sunday isn’t a Sunday without […]
Sunday Sipping / The Silo
I recently popped into the beautiful new hotel and the V&A Waterfront, The Silo, for Sunday tea with family. The juxtaposition of the fresh, modern art and luxurious interiors within the old grain elevator walls make for an incredible space. Naturally, I fell in love. We went to the Willaston Bar, a lovely space with amazing […]
Iced Coffee Things
I don’t drink hot beverages. They make me feel yucky and after many times of thinking I’ll just try it one more time (which ended in me feeling sick. Every time), I decided once and for all that hot drinks are just not my cup of tea (no pun intended. Alright, fine. Pun intended). On […]
Cape Towns Faves / 02.
Hello I recently spent some time in the CBD exploring mainly Loop Street and Long Street. I thought I’d sum up some of my favourite places that I found on my walkabout. I love Town and the shops and cafes are so trendy and cute! The Company Gardens I recently visited the Company Gardens for […]
Babylonstoren
Hello I’ve been so looking forward to writing this post for a while now, and I’m so excited to be sharing it with you today! A few days back, I visited the beautiful Babylonstoren estate with my family. It was such a lovely, hot day and it felt like summer! Babylonstoren is a Cape-Dutch style […]
Riebeek-Casteel
Hello After a cold, rainy and miserable week in Cape Town, we were treated to a beautiful, sunny and warm day today. We took a drive out to the quaint town of Riebeek-Casteel off the N7 (in the Western Cape, South Africa). The weather was marvellous, and I almost forgot that it wasn’t summer! We […]
