Cape Town

Mazaari Restaurant, Cape Town

September 28, 2018 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

If you’re expecting for the first time, there’s a couple of things you can be sure to hear: “Enjoy your sleep while you can” (It’s already not that enjoyable, thanks) “Go out as much as possible while you still can” (Ja, ‘cos money grows on trees, hey) “Make sure you go all natural for birth/breast … [Read more…]

Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve, Cederberg

June 29, 2018 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

Winter in the Cederberg, Western Cape I’ve visited the Cederberg twice in the last decade and both visits were for work / learning purposes. I can’t really describe what it is that I love about the area – the beautiful night sky, the ‘getting away from everything’ aspect or the stunningly weird rock formations. Whatever … [Read more…]

Mugg & Bean’s 2017/8 Summer Menu *GIVEAWAY closed*

December 5, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I LOVE Mugg and Bean. I’ve had so many easy cappuccinos in my life, I’m sure my financial contribution has helped to open more than a few branches. When I received an invite from Hungry for Halaal to check out Mugg & Bean’s new summer menu at their fully halaal Kenilworth Centre branch, … [Read more…]

Cape Town Lodge Hotel : Accomodation in the CBD

October 27, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

Special occasions call for special activities. We believe that some occasions call for experiences more than gifts so we’ve made a habit of going away for our anniversary (Gold Reef City, Paternoster, Franschhoek, etc) and this year was no exception. Except that it was an exception. We were lazy, didn’t feel like going too far … [Read more…]

Robben Island Museum Tour, Cape Town

October 13, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

The trip to Robben Island was a long time coming. I’m not sure why I never went to Robben Island. Maybe I missed the school trip (was there one?). Anyway, whatever the reason was, it was time to rectify the matter. Why now? For a few years now, I’ve taken leave on my birthday. It’s … [Read more…]

Heavenly Spa at the Westin, Cape Town

October 6, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

Another year gone, another birthday. And what a better way to celebrate than with some pampering? Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend all my free time at the spa, so when I do, I’m looking for something really special – not just a massage but some great facilities too (sauna, jacuzzi etc). I was … [Read more…]

Bali Itinerary – a chilled 14 Day Itinerary

June 15, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

In search of a “cheap” international vacay My partner and I were planning a holiday around Easter (March / April 2017). We were looking for a cheap (or well, budget), stress-free, beach holiday. I’m generally an anxious person (see here) and I didn’t want all the stress associated with planning a trip so I was … [Read more…]

Stonehill River Lodge, Swellendam

April 26, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

I was bribed to write this post. Okay, not bribed so much as forced. My very busy sister needed a break from that study/work-life and booked a vacay away at the Stonehill River Lodge, outside of Swellendam. I think the booking was made solely based on the fact that the unit had a private Jacuzzi. … [Read more…]

I get the opportunity to visit unfamiliar places in my own city and get to know new things about my  familiar colleagues. The previous year  our year end function took place at the chilled Lagoon Beach Hotel and the year before … [Read more…]

12 Apostles Spa – Mountain Serenade

February 10, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

If there’s a special occasion on the horizon, I immediately think of the luxurious and high end, 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa. Such a day was coming up in December. Knowing how crazy the silly season can get, I decided to book a treatment in advance. I emailed the spa about my reservation request and … [Read more…]
