Mind your manors. Perched on its hill behind Gordon's Bay, on the edge of rural Somerset West, Hoogeind Manor is a fabulous wedding and conference venue that also offers a bed and breakfast accommodation service. As a bonus, it boasts a small coffee shop that just so happens to make a lekker breakfast - the perfect accompaniment to that stunning view over the Helderberg and False Bay. #coffeeshop #bedandbreakfast #hoogeindmanor #somersetwest #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Putt putt, super tubes, swimming pools, patches of grass l, and of course the beach, scenes from an overcast Muizenberg Pavilion. #puttputt #supertubes #muizenbergpavilion #surferscorner #surferscornermuizenberg #muizenbergbeach #muizenberg #falsebay #capetown #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
The blue skies couldn't last forever. Multiple cold fronts rolling into Cape Town this weekend. Not going to stop the surfers of Muizenberg's Surfers Corner though. #cloudyskies #surfing #beachhuts #beach #surferscorner #surferscornermuizenberg #muizenbergbeach #muizenberg #falsebay #capetown #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Emily's team managed to get their away netball game against Lochnerhof in just before the rain began to fall! #netball #schoolnetball #gordonsbayprimary #lochnerhof #lochnerhofprimaryschool #strand #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
It is impossible to overstate the beauty of this strip of the Overstrand that stretches from Rooi Els up to Kleinmond. #rooielsnaturereserve #fynbos #kogelbergbiosphere #kleinhangklip #rooiels #overstrand #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Scenes from the beach around Rooi Els where the river Rooiels flows down from the mountains and into the sea. #river #rivermouth #beach #beachwalk #fynbos #kogelbergbiosphere #kleinhangklip #rooiels #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
