VINEYARDS, VIEWS, WINES… Adam and Leanne McConnell were among the close to 100 runners who tackled the challenging 5 km route on Newton Johnson wine estate this Saturday in the inaugural event of the Homes International Vine to Valley Trail Run Series. The runners were rewarded with a sunny day, beautiful views, a great vibe and a glass of wine, of course. The McConnells ended up in the Top 10 on Saturday, which was the first in a series of six Vine to Valley trail runs in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley that will take place monthly until December.

Hotel in sight for Fisherhaven

De Waal Steyn

The tide has started to turn on the Lake Marina Yacht and Boat Club in Fisherhaven after it was announced on Saturday 18 August that the Municipality intends to put out a tender for the development of a “low-key hotel development” on the site.

“The 40-year lease of the club expired last year and after it was extended for 18 months the intention was for us to keep the status quo and approve another 10-year lease for the club. But in the meantime, legislation with regards to public property has changed and we must optimise the use of all public land,” said Director of Infrastructure and Planning, Stephen Müller, at the meeting.
