Why the Franschhoek Wine Tram should be on your bucket list

Definitely bucket list item! 👌

Here's why the Franschhoek Wine Tram should be on every Cape Town bucket list

Where to eat out during load shedding

Don’t let the load shedding deter you, we have you covered!

Load shedding is becoming a daily occurrence and as romantic as it may be to dine by candlelight, it does begin to lose its charm after a few days. Why not head out of the house for the night and dine out at one of these eateries which are unaffected by power cuts.

We explored this incredible place today! An absolute must see!

Why not book the night at The Cape Amethyst, and get an early start going to hike up Lion’s Head? You won’t beat a view like this! 👌

If you've hiked up Lion's Head you know this view well. If you haven't, then it's time you do.
