Gone Travelling
A Leap of Faith
At 216 meters high, the Bloukrans Bungy, was recognised in 2003 as the world’s highest commercial bungee. We all know what it feels like to be scared: rapid heartbeat, nervous perspiration, hurried breathing, the list goes on… All this is caused by adrenaline, that lovely hormone that, when surging through our bodies, also provides a […]
A Weekend in McGregor
They say that McGregor is the place that time forgot. With a prevailing sleepy atmosphere and quaint houses you probably wouldn’t find in the city, it’s understandable how one can so easily lose track of time in this charming village, a mere 150km’s east of Cape Town. The town is small, intimate and quirky, making […]

Heaven Is A Place at Santé
Absolute awe. That is what I felt driving up the lane on La Bella Vita Wine Estate and seeing Santé Wellness Retreat & Spa creep closer. The feeling didn’t subside upon going inside; the place is like nothing I have ever seen before – spectacular to say the least. Santé was recently bought by husband […]
