Umhlanga accommodation: Three Cities Square Boutique Hotel and Spa

April 29, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

This is a guest post courtesy of Rizwana Roomaney. After a very busy year, I needed some vacay time. Being the mother of a 3-year-old meant that I had to find a destination that is both comfortable with enough relaxation options for me and also caters to the needs of a little ball of energy. … [Read more…]

The Test Kitchen, Cape Town – Testing…Testing….Yum!

April 11, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

Booking I heard about The Test Kitchen through a very good friend of mine in September last year (2013). I called the restaurant at the end of October 2013 and made a booking thinking that I would get one a week later… try 5 months later! I was shocked. But I made the booking anyway … [Read more…]

What a Trip! Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand (Trip Summary)

April 2, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 21 Comments

  I’ve just returned from a long awaited 2-week holiday to Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia. In those 2 weeks, we stayed in 5 hotels, traveled to 4 cities, were on 10 flights and ate more KFC than I thought possible. You might think that it’s a lot of traveling to do in 2 weeks but … [Read more…]

Things to do around Bettys Bay & Kleinmond

March 19, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

Unfortunately for me, the weather wasn’t that great on the few days that I was staying at the 3 Flavours Guesthouse in Pringle Bay. It was hot but unpleasantly windy. As such, I didn’t explore the area to its full extent. I checked out a few of the shops and the small market on Saturday morning. … [Read more…]

3 Flavours Guesthouse, Pringle Bay: Get away from it all

March 19, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 11 Comments

Finding Pringle Bay I needed a short holiday to end off my final bit of annual leave. I used Booking.com to search for the closest (but not too close) and most luxurious place I could find within my budget. I came across the interestingly named 3 Flavours Guesthouse which looked modern and had a 4-star … [Read more…]

DIY Travel: 10 steps to planning budget holidays

March 4, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

Recently, a self-proclaimed, severely “un-tech savvy” friend of mine asked me for help on booking a trip. I am no guru but I’ve picked up some skills along the way. I do love the planning and researching part of booking a holiday as I feel you learn so much more about your destination that way … [Read more…]

Four & Twenty – Cafe and Pantry (Breakfast nook) in Chelsea Village

February 24, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 7 Comments

Inspired by “La Parie”, this little café & pantry is a must see! Huddled in the Heart of Chelsea Village lies this manifestation of a dream born at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, over a box of Parisian macaroons! This dreamy description definitely warrants a visit! So off I went on a Saturday morning to … [Read more…]

Accomodation in Kimberley: Dankie Pa, Agros, Belgravia B&B

February 19, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

Kimberley is a pretty nice town. I can definitely think of worse places to be stuck for an extended amount of time (such as Kuruman). I always hear of students going to Kimberley for comm. service and some actually end up staying – so it can’t be that bad. I reckon any place can be boring, … [Read more…]

Accommodation in Kimberley: Protea Hotel & Victorian Guest Lodge

February 17, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I have the privilege of getting to travel to exotic destinations for work – destinations such as Danielskuil, Warrenton, and Kuruman. Living the life I know… At one point, I spent three months in the Northern Cape and became very well acquainted with several of the guesthouses there. Living out of a suitcase was challenging, … [Read more…]
