Come and join us for an interesting morning at The Restio Country Guesthouse....
In this intimate memoir, Hannah Botsis chronicles life as a minister’s daughter in post-apartheid South Africa. Through the lens of her father’s forty-year ministry at a Presbyterian church in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, she explores faith, family, and racial privilege with unflinching honesty. A meditation on grace and belonging, this story illuminates how communities navigate change while wrestling with their complicated histories.

Struisbaai Square: A New Heart for the Community

A bold vision is unfolding near the harbour — transforming underused land into a vibrant hub for leisure, culture, and small business. 🌊

The concept, developed by Elephant Whale & Co, draws inspiration from the area’s maritime history.

From market stalls and green spaces to a nautical-themed playground, Struisbaai Square is set to bring people together and boost local enterprise.

Stay connected with Chas Everitt Cape Agulhas for updates on property and community growth in our region.
