Eating out at Readers Restaurant and Curious Cat Café
Readers Restaurant and Curious Cat Café, on Church Street, is one of the most eclectic spots you could ever come across, and as the name suggests, there’s a ton of cat-inspired memorabilia and items to browse through. “I absolutely adored the little touches, such as seashell and gem stones trinkets hanging from the doorways, and […]
Ceres-ly Exciting Zipline Adventures
After weeks of planning, our Tulbagh weekend was finally confirmed, and at the very top of the list was a zipline tour with Ceres Zipline Adventures.

Fine Art & Wine at Saronsberg Cellar

So this time, we gave in to temptation and visited this beautiful Klapmuts winery, on […]

Marine Walk Misadventures at De Hoop Nature Reserve
“When was the last time you were this cold?” I asked my husband as the open Land Cruiser bounced along the endless dirt road, trying in vain to outrun the rain storm. “When I climbed Kilimanjaro,” he replied. What an adventure that was! I briefly considered an alternative setting of a family movie in a […]
