Book club<br />

Half a dozen lovely reads, and one delicious rosé<br />

Fiona Walker is right up there at the top of<br />

our favourite chick-lit authors. Big, fat reads<br />

crammed with farmhouses and horses and<br />

hanky-panky. Country Lovers is 595 pages of<br />

sheer joy. The perfect Valentine’s read. Head<br />

Zeus, R315.<br />

Old lies. New loves. Double lives. All set on<br />

an island in the Caribbean. Elin Hilderbrand’s<br />

What Happens in Paradise is just the thing<br />

for a lazy summer afternoon read on the<br />

lounger. Hodder & Stoughton, R325<br />

Cathy Kelly’s another fave ... her books are<br />

warm and witty and just wonderful. The<br />

Family Gift is the story of a big, messy,<br />

and wonderful family, a glamorous and<br />

manipulative ex-wife, a new house in the<br />

country (with a name, not a number!) ...<br />

and of Mildred (that nagging inner critic<br />

who tells us we’re not good enough).<br />

Orion, R285.<br />

A movie goddess with two Oscars, four<br />

husbands, a whole string of lovers, and a story<br />

to tell. Add a loving stepson, a beautiful and<br />

talented ghost writer and a few dangerous<br />

secrets and you’ve got Nora Roberts at her<br />

best. Genuine Lies is her latest thriller-comelove-story<br />

... and it’s fab. Little Brown, R195.<br />

In Bruce Holsinger’s The Gifted School, a<br />

group of close friends and their children are<br />

living harmoniously in a peaceful, privileged<br />

community. But when a gifted school, with<br />

just a few prestigious places, opens, there’s<br />

suddenly fierce competition ... and things<br />

quickly turn sour. Headline, R325.<br />

Lies Lies Lies. Adele Parks’ latest novel is all<br />

happy families and perfect marriages. On the<br />

surface. But add alcohol, secrets and lies, and<br />

you’ve got a disaster just waiting to happen.<br />

Dark and moody and a fabulous twist. HQ /<br />

Harper Collins, R318.<br />

The prettiest, pinkest, most delish rosé is what we’re wanting this Valentine’s Day ... and<br />

we found it. The 2019 vintage of Perlé de Jean is all ripe, fresh berries, citrus zest and<br />

melon, and a froth of tiny bubbles. It’s magnificent with prawns (our meal of choice on<br />

the 14th), but lovely, too, with chicken and summer salads. You’ll find it for around R69.99<br />

at Checkers, Makro, Food Lover’s Market and selected Spar & Tops@Spar stores.<br />

Summer time drinks<br />

Zesty grapefruit with just<br />

a hint of bitterness. This<br />

summer we’re drinking the<br />

just-launched Fitch & Leeds<br />

Grapefruit Tonic. This coralhued<br />

drink with a delicate<br />

fizz is perfect for those<br />

who’re avoiding alcohol<br />

… a slice of grapefruit,<br />

a sprig of thyme, loads of<br />

ice and you’ve a refreshing<br />

mocktail. For those who like<br />

a little merriment in their<br />

glass, it’s also really great<br />

with premium vodka or<br />

tequila. And it’s sensational<br />

for a crisp, refreshing G&T.<br />

Try it with Hope on Hopkins<br />

African Botanical Gin, with<br />

a few muddled berries<br />

and mint. Bliss. Lovely<br />

at lunchtime in the sun,<br />

fabulous for sundowners …<br />

it’s our new fave! Around R55<br />

for a six-pack of cans, R50 for<br />

a four back of glass bottles.<br />

Beauty with a purpose<br />

Sasha-Lee Olivier, Miss <strong>South</strong> Africa 2019, is by her own account a born and bred<br />

Albertonian. We catch up with her after her journey to Miss World in London.<br />

She was born in Eden Park,<br />

moved with her family to<br />

Palm Ridge and finally<br />

spent time growing up in<br />

Brackendowns.<br />

Sasha-lee attended<br />

Glenview Primary and<br />

went to Bracken High.<br />

According to Sasha-Lee,<br />

when she was younger she<br />

aspired to compete in the Miss<br />

<strong>South</strong> Africa competition, but her reasons<br />

for doing so changed over the years.<br />

“When I was young, what I saw was a kind<br />

princess and thought I wanted to be her,”<br />

said Sasha-Lee.<br />

“As you grow up you realise the<br />

responsibility that comes with it and then<br />

you try to align what you stand for with<br />

that responsibility. I think you decide to do<br />

it not for yourself, but for those people you<br />

stand for,” she said.<br />

As a child she preferred playing outside or<br />

playing video games over make-up and<br />

dressing up.<br />

Sasha-Lee eventually joined the Miss <strong>South</strong><br />

Africa competition because she wanted to<br />

set an example for young girls. “I wanted<br />

to show them that it is okay to be a size 36,”<br />

said Sasha-Lee. “I think it is so important<br />

to show them that there is strength in<br />

overcoming things in your life.”<br />

Sasha-Lee described the journey of Miss<br />

<strong>South</strong> Africa as an experience of a lifetime.<br />

“When I first got the call that I was a<br />

finalist I thought it must be a prank. I can’t<br />

describe the feeling when I realised it was<br />

actually happening. It’s the one where you<br />

realise that every decision you made, every<br />

failure, every good thing that happened,<br />

it has all taken its place and you are where<br />

you want to be.”<br />

Sasha-Lee said she took special care to<br />

fully experience and live in each moment<br />

during the journey. “We are so futureoriented<br />

and I wanted to take it one day at<br />

a time. There were highs and lows and we<br />

were being tested. It was my first chance to<br />

have a platform where I could open up and<br />

share what I stand for.”<br />

She recently had the privilege of<br />

representing <strong>South</strong> Africa at Miss World<br />

12 Get It Joburg <strong>South</strong> <strong>Feb</strong>ruary <strong>2020</strong><br />

Pageant in London. “It’s been a thrilling journey, being offered the chance to travel abroad<br />

– a first for me – and take part in the world’s most prestigious competition.<br />

For me, the most important part of all of this has been the Miss World Beauty with a<br />

Purpose campaign that every entrant is expected to have.<br />

I was sexually abused. I believed that I was somehow complicit in the abuse that was<br />

being done to me, and suffered greatly from a deep sense of shame as a result.<br />

It is why I have chosen to support, inspire and help girls, boys, women and men who have<br />

had a similar experience to me as part of my Miss World ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ campaign.<br />

I have used #ItsNotYourFault as my slogan so that those who have suffered sexual assault<br />

can know that they are not to blame for the violence that is perpetrated against them.<br />

I am so grateful to be able to use the very public platform that Miss World provides to<br />

bring solace to women (and men) who are survivors of sexual assault. Beauty with a<br />

Purpose is a separate category of the Miss World competition and the winner of this<br />

segment will have her campaign supported by the organisation for the year of her reign.<br />

Going forward, I do not want this to be merely a one-year thing. I want to continue this<br />

journey as I walk through life. As part of my campaign, I am reaching out to people who<br />

are reporting a sexual attack at police stations, when they are at their most vulnerable.<br />

I am determined to assist women and men on an emotional level because I know the<br />

trauma they are going through.<br />

I have joined forces with Penny Stein and the Angel Network. They will help me locate<br />

sexual abuse survivors, and distribute Rape Comfort Packs to them. This is a crucial part<br />

of my #ItsNotYourFault campaign. I hope these Rape Comfort Packs – they provide many<br />

basic hygiene products, a teddy bear, sugar, and a personalized card assuring them the<br />

attack is not their fault – offer a moment of dignity to the wounded soul in what possibly<br />

could be the worst moment of their lives.<br />

My Miss World London adventure<br />

I have never been abroad before, so every fibre of my being was alive as I arrived<br />

in London.<br />

Firstly, it was bitterly cold – which I was expecting, but surprised by how damp their cold<br />

is! Seeing Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Picadilly Circus, red buses, the black taxi – sights<br />

I’ve only seen in the movies, and in news clips from that wonderful city – was surreal.<br />

And being part of the Miss World pageant, one of the many young women representing<br />

countries from around the globe, was both humbling and exhilarating.<br />

I stand in the hallowed shoes of past Miss <strong>South</strong> Africa winners who have gone on to<br />

wear the Miss World Crown.<br />

And when I come home, and all of this is over, I hope to continue to find a direction<br />

and purpose in my life that will enable me to continue to help those who, like me, are<br />

dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse.<br />

True to herself<br />

When asked about being on a platform of this magnitude, Sasha-Lee said that<br />

despite being a model, she will never get used to the limelight.<br />

One of the challenges was the public not understanding her values as a<br />

plus-size model.<br />

“The toughest moment for me was the final question. I could have given a generic<br />

answer at that moment, but what was true to me was saying that I had survived sexual<br />

abuse growing up and today, together, we are going to take our power back.”<br />

Aside from the good experiences and friends she made, a highlight for Sash-Lee was the<br />

feedback she received on social media following her message.<br />

“People reached out to me and said thank you for what I stand for and the message I<br />

was delivering.”<br />

Star-struck<br />

STRONGER | FITTER | FASTER<br />

Does the name Kai Luke Brümmer ring a bell? Let us<br />

inform you, he recently played the role of Nicholas van<br />

der Swart in the film, Moffie. We caught up with this<br />

young, talented actor who is taking the industry<br />

by storm.<br />

Having only played in a couple of productions, Kai Luke Brümmer is already paving his<br />

way to success. He was exposed to drama and acting at a young age by his mother, a<br />

drama teacher. “I started to perform in her theatre, Seeds, from a very young age. The<br />

theatre used to be an old helicopter hanger that was converted into a community<br />

theatre space.<br />

Originally from Henley-On-Klip, Kai and his family moved to Melville when he was 14<br />

and he thereafter matriculated from St John’s College. I took drama as a matric subject<br />

and after a gap year I enrolled for a course in Theatre and Performance at the University<br />

of Cape Town. In 2016 he performed in numerous stage productions, including Mike<br />

van Graan’s When Swallows Cry and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,<br />

for which he won a Naledi Award for best actor. Moffie was his first major film role.<br />

He was considered for many roles in Moffie before he was chosen to play the lead,<br />

Nicholas van der Swart. The defining moment for the team was when the producer, Eric<br />

Abraham, and director, Oliver Hermanus, attended his leading role performance in The<br />

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Kai’s commanding stage performance<br />

sealed the deal and team Moffie soon became quite obsessed with him as the lead.<br />

He worked tirelessly to prepare for the role of Nicholas, adopting a vigorous exercise<br />

and weight loss programme and had to devour a very long list of films before<br />

shooting began.<br />

“Moffie has exposed me to the international film industry in the most incredible way.<br />

I’ve decided to move to London in the near future to pursue my acting career, but<br />

<strong>South</strong> Africa will always be my home. We as <strong>South</strong> Africans have something unique that<br />

you can’t find anywhere else in the world, and this translates into the stories that we<br />

have to tell.<br />

The best part of this industry is the amazing people that one gets to work with. I was<br />

so excited to work with Oliver Hermanus, and during the filming of Moffie I grew as<br />

a performer. Shortly after wrapping up on Moffie I shot a new American action series<br />

called The Professionals, in which I play Tom Welling’s younger brother, which<br />

was great fun.<br />

Kai currently lives in Cape Town. He has a very close bond with his family. “We love to<br />

surf and generally spend time in or on the ocean or joking with each other. I also love<br />

watching films, especially on Mondays when no one else is in the cinema.<br />

What is on your bucket list?<br />

My bucket list is pretty long, but at the moment I’m most interested in producing/<br />

What is your biggest fear?<br />

My biggest fear is not getting the last biscuit in the cookie jar (just joking!). I have lots of<br />

fears, but I try to not let them stop me from trying something new and challenging.<br />

What is the biggest life lesson you have learned?<br />

The biggest life lesson I’ve learned is that you never stop learning.<br />

What would we find on your Instagram account?<br />

My Instagram page generally focuses on my career, films I’m watching, books I’m<br />

WE ARE ON A MISSION TO<br />

EMPOWER YOU TO DISCOVER<br />

YOUR BADASS. WE BELIEVE IN<br />

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN<br />

BOXING AND FITNESS TO<br />

UNLOCK YOUR STRONGEST<br />

BODY AND MIND.<br />

1-ON-1 MEANS THAT,<br />

WE CATER FOR ALL LEVELS<br />

OF FITNESS<br />

Beginner | Intermediate | Experienced<br />

STILL NOT CONVINCED?<br />

TOTAL BODY | MUSCLE UP<br />

Muscle Mass vs. Definition<br />

Unlike your bench press, BOXING is functional.<br />

“It’s great for total body strength and power as it<br />

uses the body from head to foot.”<br />

That means you’ll build that all-over muscle that<br />

makes boxers’ physiques so enviable.<br />

BURN FAT | GET SHREDDED<br />

BURN 500 - 1000 CALORIES A SESSION<br />

BOXING builds that dream physique fast! More<br />

cuts and more curves where you want them! “It’s<br />

high-intensity training,” This spikes your<br />

metabolism for huge calorie burn while you’re<br />

training, then increased burn even when you’re<br />

out of the gym.<br />

You’ll knock out body fat even while you’re<br />

asleep.<br />

CONFIDENCE | FOCUS<br />

Boxing isn’t about punching It’s fully absorbing.<br />

When BOXING you are hyper-focused. The mind<br />

won’t go wandering too often.” It’s also perfect<br />

stress relief; you can’t hit your boss, but you can<br />

take out your full in-tray frustration on a<br />

punching bag.<br />

You’ll be faster and more nimble everywhere,<br />

from the football pitch to the squat rack<br />

Like it or not, social media and the “selfie” era are here to stay. Aesthetic doctor,<br />

Anjana Bhana, sheds some light on the topic. Did you know?<br />

ccording to a survey<br />

released by the American<br />

Academy of Facial Plastic<br />

and Reconstructive<br />

Surgery (AAFPRS),<br />

social media’s impact<br />

on aesthetics has<br />

been enormous,<br />

especially in how people perceive and<br />

project themselves. The survey results<br />

showed that in 2017, 55 per cent<br />

of facial plastic surgeons consulted<br />

patients that wanted to look better in<br />

selfies. This is a 13 per cent increase<br />

from 2016.<br />

A phenomenon has arisen from<br />

this increased use of social media –<br />

snapchat dysmorphia as well as the<br />

compare and despair culture and<br />

chasing the glow. What is often reality<br />

What we should<br />

aim for is longlasting<br />

sustainable<br />

results rather than<br />

stressful trends<br />

is very different from what is constructed<br />

and curated on Instagram. Many people<br />

will use various apps to achieve a look<br />

that they will present to me as their<br />

desired after result but some of these<br />

filters and facetunes may require major<br />

surgery or many progressive treatments<br />

with filler. People are much more critical<br />

of themselves because they spend<br />

so much time looking at their selfies.<br />

Hashtags along with this trend include<br />

#FillersnotFilters and the newly-accepted<br />

Instagram Face. It’s almost as if a new<br />

normal is emerging of overly inflated lips<br />

and oddly elevated brows.<br />

Are you selfie ready?<br />

Many aesthetic practices also participate on social media platforms, such as<br />

Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, to promote and market their services. And we to<br />

feel the pressure to perform and compare to our peers as well. To get people “selfie<br />

ready” – and for consumers feeling the pressure to have filter face daily. We want<br />

more and more – more dramatic results without realising what goes behind these<br />

snapshot results – months of holistically being healthy in combination with a variety<br />

of treatments.<br />

Social media and celebrities can also drive trends – the defined jawline of Jennifer<br />

Lopez and Angelina Jolie or the highly filtered smooth skin look leading to increase in<br />

treatments such as Jawline Filler, Threads and Skinboosters. What we should aim for is<br />

long-lasting sustainable results rather than stressful trends. Ask yourself what is your<br />

motivation for seeking treatment?<br />

For even the “prettiest” and most handsome people, few things can be as humbling<br />

as the front facing phone selfie. There’s the ‘you’ that you see in the washroom mirror<br />

(very different from the ‘you’ you see when you sit in your hairdressers chair), and the<br />

‘you’ you see in a selfie. Regular selfie taking has little to do with narcissim and more<br />

to do with documenting, approval and feeling a sense of belonging but regular selfie<br />

viewing has been linked to lower self-esteem and decreased life satisfaction.<br />

Try it yourself<br />

Take a selfie with no selfie stick and then have someone take a photo of your face<br />

from some distance away. The wide lens of the camera phone can make you nose<br />

look enormous and your chin tripicate. I have been sent some odd, very early<br />

morning selfies of patients that are disturbed by what they see in the picture because<br />

of distorted perception. I never advise on selfies – a face to face consultation is<br />

important . Also cameras do not work the same way as our brain does (making the<br />

automatic adjustment when some zooms in close to your face – say for a kiss- without<br />

looking distorted).<br />

Enhance your natural beauty<br />

It’s important to realise it’s no longer about treating a line or just a lip with 1ml of<br />

filler – it’s about enhancing your faces natural beauty and positive attributes with<br />

a process. Bespoke transformative treatments with a holistic approach that treats<br />

structurally aging as well surface aging. Individualised treatments that move away<br />

from syringes but rather results (a younger pre-rejuvenation patient vs a first time<br />

older patient that has greater and different requirements). Different ethnic groups<br />

have different needs, anatomical variations and desires.<br />

Quite simply our skull is shrinking and we lose our structural support as well<br />

as changes in the muscles, fat pads, tendons and skin changes . The bone sets<br />

the tone and form follows function – your underlying bone structure has a huge<br />

influence on the shape of your face and the way you age.<br />

It’s now about wanting to be cute, less angry, less sad, less tired, not saggy –<br />

looking more trustworthy , more approachable, serene and healthy – achievable<br />

with injectables and other treatments. Does the result suit your personality? Small<br />

tweaks such as lifting the brow, reversing a sulky mouth corner, opening the eye,<br />

reduce the under eye hollowness. About boosting your confidence and having<br />

treatments that yield natural ,safe and proportional results. You can ask – what<br />

does your face say about you?<br />

Maybe this year it is time for a different approach to fitness and weight loss if you have<br />

been unsuccessful in the past. We visit Lesley Flavell at her boxing studio in Bassonia.<br />

About Icon Boxing World<br />

While working in the financial services industry, Lesley Flavell started and headed<br />

up the first women only fitness training facility in the country, called Shapes for<br />

Women. She sold this business after two years.<br />

In 2011 she and well-known public personality, Nick Durandt joined forces to<br />

open one of the first upmarket, executive one on one training facilities in Sandton<br />

now called Urban Warrior Boxing Gym. What started as a community upliftment<br />

project that provided a means of earning a living for professional fighters<br />

between bouts, soon became one of the most well respected and well known<br />

facilities in the country, often hosting overseas champion training camps whilst<br />

preparing for bouts in <strong>South</strong> Africa.<br />

Icon Boxing World powered by Urban Warrior will also no doubt become one of<br />

the countries well-known executive boxing training facilities with Urban Warrior<br />

having won some of the most prestigious accolades in the country.<br />

brilliant with <strong>South</strong> African<br />

staples like Bobotie, Bunny<br />

Chow and Braai – which all<br />

beg for a glass of Pinotage,<br />

while its versatility makes it<br />

even Chocolate soufflé.<br />

Serve it slightly chilled. R75.<br />

The much-loved coffee<br />

and chocolate notes of the<br />

Pinotage make it a wine<br />

worth savouring …<br />

although a great partner<br />

to rich lamb casseroles and<br />

gentle Malay curries, the<br />

best companion for this<br />

wine is a rich, decadent<br />

chocolate dessert. Try it<br />

with a Molten chocolate<br />

Blossoms and blooms<br />

Some fresh inspiration for the summer season.<br />

Indoor plant of the month…with<br />

its heart-shaped flowers and its long-lasting ability<br />

to survive, Anthuriums are the plant for Valentine’s<br />

month. Love might be fickle, but these plants are<br />

not. They are not needy, prefer under watering<br />

to over watering, are happy in medium to high<br />

light, and flower off and on throughout the year. A<br />

drench of liquid fertiliser once every two or three<br />

months will keep them perky. There are lots of<br />

new colours and oh-so-cute dwarf varieties. These<br />

plants are stayers.<br />

We’re planting… flowers that attract birds for their nectar or seeds. Sunbirds love<br />

indigenous wild dagga (Leonotis Leonurus), aloes, strelitzia, Cape honeysuckle,<br />

proteas, red hot pokers and watsonia. The tinier sunbirds will also seek out<br />

indigenous and garden salvia, like Black and Bloom or Big Blue, for their nectar.<br />

What’s great is that all these are water-wise and heat tolerant perennials that<br />

grow in full sun to semi-shade in ordinary garden soil. There are plenty of seed<br />

loving birds too and if you let annuals like marigolds, cosmos, sunflowers, poppies<br />

and zinnias go to seed, you will be providing a natural supply of food instead<br />

of building a dependence on bird feeders. Don’t forget about perennials like<br />

gaillardia and coreopsis as well as indigenous grasses, various Eragrostis types<br />

and Anthericum saundersiae that produces lovely heads of flowers and seeds.<br />

Some tips:<br />

· Choose flowers that grow best in your local area.<br />

· Prepare soil well before planting; adding in plenty of compost, and fertiliser.<br />

· Plant a variety, that are different heights when mature and flower at different<br />

times to provide a constant source of nectar or seed.<br />

· Don’t dead head and allow plants to go to seed. What the birds miss will pop up<br />

as new plants.<br />

· Don’t use insecticides. Birds also feed on insects that are attracted to the flower.<br />

· Include grasses with abundant seed heads. They are attractive as accents when<br />

interspersed among the flowers.<br />

Try this app<br />

You don’t need to wonder anymore because<br />

Candide, the community gardening<br />

app that is free to download, is going to<br />

tell you, at the click of a pic. A brand new<br />

feature on this handy info-guru is ‘Plant ID’.<br />

To help you identify an unknown plant,<br />

shrub, herb or tree all you have to do is<br />

go to the ‘Knowledge’ section on Candide,<br />

snap a shot of the mystery plant, or<br />

upload one from your phone, then press<br />

the identify tab. You will then get not only<br />

the name and short summary or overview<br />

of the plant and species, but details of its<br />

origins, environmental preferences, propagation,<br />

personality, problems, geography,<br />

uses and much, much more.<br />

Especially noteworthy about Candide is<br />

that it is designed for all levels of gardener,<br />

from beginner to well-established<br />

so information is both practical and<br />

invaluable as well as easy- to-understand.<br />

And because it’s used by a whole<br />

community of gardeners with different<br />

backgrounds and experience, elsewhere<br />

on the app, you can also learn and<br />

benefit from everyone else’s questions<br />

and answers.<br />

Candide is free for download in the<br />

Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.<br />

Once the app has been downloaded,<br />

users are able to utilise it worldwide. To<br />

find the app, simply type ‘Candide’ into<br />

the search bar.<br />

FEBRUARY GARDEN TASKS<br />

· Water and mow lawns<br />

weekly. If it is very hot<br />

don’t cut the lawn too<br />

low. The longer leaves will<br />

shade the roots, so that it<br />

draws up less water.<br />

· Remove dead flowers; this<br />

will extend the flowering<br />

period of your summer<br />

annuals and perennials.<br />

· Pull out summer annuals,<br />

like petunias, that are<br />

over and put in some<br />

quick flowering annuals<br />

like Vinca, Marigolds and<br />

Angelonia.<br />

· Lightly trim lavender,<br />

pelargoniums, and<br />

other bushy plants that<br />

need tidying up, as<br />

well as topiaries and<br />

hedges. Take cuttings of<br />

pelargoniums, hydrangeas,<br />

osteospermum, fuchsias,<br />

salvia, and heliotrope.<br />

· There is still time to divide<br />

agapanthus and irises.<br />

· Water camellias and<br />

azaleas regularly as they<br />

are getting buds for spring.<br />

· Water containers daily and<br />

feed with a liquid fertiliser<br />

at half strength every<br />

second week.<br />

Vineyards. Romance. History. All you<br />

want in a Cape Winelands escape,<br />

really. And all found in abundance<br />

at the d’Olyfboom Family Estate<br />

guest house in Paarl.<br />

Room with a view<br />

With a view over the vineyards and mountains, it’s hard to leave the bedroom<br />

of your d’Olyfboom Family Estate Guest House!<br />

Let’s be honest. There’s more to a guest house than a bedroom. But lying in an<br />

oversized, comfy bed, with a view out over the vines, mountains and pretty Paarl<br />

countryside, is hard to beat. And trust us, it’s fairly hard to tear yourself away when<br />

you’re staying in one of the five guest suites at d’Olyfboom Family Estate. But tear<br />

yourself away you must ... as there’s so much more to explore and enjoy.<br />

This historic estate in the Western Cape sits jolly prettily against the Paarl Mountain,<br />

looking out over the town, vineyards and countryside and is close to all the town<br />

has to offer ... art galleries and antique shops, museums and restaurants.<br />

A highlight at d’Olyfboom, which is all old-school charm and romance, is the Rahzu<br />

experience ... weather permitting, you can have private or group lessons in the<br />

lush gardens ... calm, tranquil and soothing, it’s a sublime treat.<br />

The intimate guest house dishes up healthy Boland breakfasts, and is massively<br />

popular as a wedding venue. A perfectly romantic spot in the winelands ... well<br />

worth considering if you’re heading to the Cape this year.<br />

Rates are from around R835 a person, sharing, but check the website as there<br />

are seasonal changes and specials. The guest house is part of the Cape Country<br />

Routes (CCR) <strong>South</strong> Africa collection ... a group of around 20 owner-operated and<br />

managed hotels, lodges and guest houses on the scenic and historic routes in the<br />

Western and Eastern Cape. Details: capecountryroutes.com<br />
