An afternoon spent wandering the gardens, a quiet nap on the deck, and the sun slowly dipping behind the mountains. When evening arrives, a five-course dinner awaits. This is how a day at Qambathi unfolds.

What a wonderful day yesterday was! We had the absolute pleasure of learning etiquette from one of South Africa’s culinary giants, Jackie Cameron.

Whether you’re an industry professional looking for staff training or simply wanting to refine your own hosting skills, Jackie’s Etiquette Course is truly invaluable.

Every member of our team took something meaningful away from the training — from plate positioning, to wine culture and the art of setting a table beautifully.

From the practical, real-life stories and examples to the comprehensive manual covering all the finer details that elevate an experience, we feel incredibly fortunate to have Jackie so close by and to be able to learn from her wealth of experience and expertise.

A wonderful day of learning, refining and being reminded that it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference.

Thank you from the bottom on our hearts Chef Jackie
