Africa’s greenest hotel: Hotel Verde, Cape Town International Airport

February 26, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

Hotel Verde at the Cape Town International Airport claims to be an ‘airport hotel with a difference’- and boy, they weren’t kidding. Just 400 meters from the airport, the bright green and purple building stands in contrast to the otherwise mundane background. My work held a workshop at Hotel Verde. A combination of traffic and … [Read more…]

All aboard! Knysna Heads Boat Trip on the John Benn

February 19, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

After a lovely brunch at Ile de Pain, we headed to the touristy Knysna Waterfront Quays. It’s  a lovely place to indulge in some ice-cream and watch the boats go by. The weather (and the shopping) were not that appealing so I skipped to the main attraction! Google “Things to do in Knysna” and you … [Read more…]

The Garden Route- What to do and see

January 14, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

Capetonians love the Garden Route. It’s no surprise that when the rest of South Africa is making their way to Cape Town for the December holiday, many Capetonians are fleeing to the Garden Route and complaining about GP drivers. The Garden Route is the area stretching from Mossel Bay to the end of Storms River. … [Read more…]

The gorgeous & sunny Ile de Pain, Knysna

December 10, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

On a recommendation (thanks sister’s sister-in-law!), while in Knysna we headed down to Ile de Pain (translation:island of bread). So, not quite The Banting Kitchen – but hey, who doesn’t love carbs, right? The bakery cafe was opened in 2002 by Liezie Mulder and Marcus Farbinger and has become synonymous with to-die-for baked goods and … [Read more…]

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort – Polokwane

November 18, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

Were you aware that Polokwane has an airport? I wasn’t until I was booked on the (roughly) 35 minute flight from Joburg to the capital of the Limpopo Province via the Polokwane International Airport. We were greeted by lots of little children waving at us from the airport. Apparently, that’s not a daily occurrence and … [Read more…]
