Lion’s Head is one of the most iconic and easily recognisable natural attractions in Cape Town. Not only does it form part of the city’s famous three peaks (Devil’s Peak, Table Mountain and Lion’s Head) – but it is also one of the most popular hikes. Truthfully, I think every […]
As the Oranjezicht City Farm Market Day is ideal for all ages – and even well-behaved, leashed pups – it makes for an excellent outing. In this post, I share a bit about my previous visits to the beloved OZCF market. Since June 2015, the Oranjezicht City Farm (OZCF) Market, […]
Please note: Regrettably, Sentir is now closed. My first review for 2018 started off in a fine manner: with a sensational supper at Sentir Tapas and Spirits Space, one of newer arrivals to the Cape Town foodie scene. Situated within a 102-year-old building in Long Street (the street that […]
In early October 2014, I first had the pleasure of travelling to Simon’s Town, which is about an hour or so from Cape Town, depending on traffic and which route you take to get there. This historic naval town has a rich, multi-cultural history and offers visitors some wonderful travel […]
