The ins, outs and in-betweens

Another week, another newsletter packed with all our latest Cape Town-related discoveries just for you!

It’s all part of our on-going mission as we are fanatical about keeping you up-to-date on the charming to-dos happening in the Mother City (and surrounds).

So have a squiz at this week’s edition for a few of our favourite things (fear not, there are no signs of bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens!) that include a hidden gem of a restaurant that has a Secret Garden air about it and private game reserve where you can spot the Big Five!

To further put our money where our mouth is, we’ve also devoted this newsletter to giving you the good, old-fashioned lowdown on some events that you may not have taken notice of, but that we simply adore like the Durbanville Full Moon Hike and Trail Run,the Imaginarium Trance Party and the Taxi Hand Sign Exhibition.

There’s a little something for everyone!
