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…]

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…]

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…]

Zewenwacht Wine Estate

Another year, another work function. I really look forward to our annual work functions. 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…]

Camelot Spa : Table bay hotel V&A Waterfront : They should pay me

January 20, 2017 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

All I wanted was a massage and most of the spas were booked the day I wanted it! I decided to take a chance at the Camelot Spa located at the Table Bay Hotel ( V&A Waterfront) and to my surprise the lady had an opening for a couples massage at 3:30pm. I was delighted … [Read more…]

Aquila Game Reserve: Safari Adventures

November 11, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

It was our first time at the Aquila Game Reserve and we were determined to make the most it. Between lots (and lots) of eating, we tried to experience everything they had on offer. In our short time there, we did 2 game drives, a horseback safari, a quad-bike safari and had a massage at … [Read more…]

Mexican Food Cape Town: Pancho’s, Observatory

February 26, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

My love affair with Mexican food I love Mexican cuisine. Love, love, love it. It’s carbs, cheese and avocados. What’s not to love? Before my New Year resolution (to eat healthy!) really kicked in, I headed off to my favourite Mexican restaurant in Cape Town – Pancho’s in Observatory, to eat enough carbs so that just … [Read more…]

Gelukkie Accommodation & Venue, Paternoster

October 28, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

For our anniversary we decided we would skip the gifts and use the gift money for a vacay instead. After all, someone once said that the happiness from experiences outlasts the happiness from gifts (although both don’t hurt!). We weren’t out looking for a beach holiday, we wanted an adventure – somewhere neither of us … [Read more…]
