DIGITAL EDITOR Heather Hook

You guessed it Hello Joburgers, our May issue is celebrating the wonder that is your mum.

ADMINISTRATON Lorraine Ndlovu

I am one of three kids raised by a single mum. She had no choice but to take on the roles of mother, father, disciplinarian and friend. I’ll admit there are times when we’re minutes away from killing each other, but I wouldn’t be the strong, independent young lady I am today, without her unwavering support. Here’s to you, mum! I love you.

CONTRIBUTORS Carly Ritz; Brett R Palframan; Lisa Witepski; Heather Hook; Tiffany Hopkins

Mothers are amazing, which is why we’ve dedicated most of these pages to celebrating and pampering them. In fact, we’ve got a stunning little gift guide filled with delightful spoils – just for mum. From flowers and nougat to funky shoes and even a bottle of bubbles, and with plenty more to find on www.hellojoburg.co.za, your shopping spree is sorted!

I was also lucky enough to be invited to check out R•U•B Salon in Bryanston and golly, you’d be a fool not to follow suit. Facials, mani’s and massages, plus a whole lot more (think waxing, body treatments, tints and even men’s grooming), you’ll be pampered and preened ‘til your heart pops with happiness. We truly loved our experience there and highly recommend you pop in.

It’s all about indulging this month – and our restaurant of the month is indulgence personified.

Splurge and spoil mum to a delicious lunch or dinner at the gorgeous Parc Ferme in Sandton.

The food is divine, the atmosphere friendly, while still being sophisticated and chic. Mum will feel like royalty dining here, no doubt about it!

Fun Fact: May 26 is International Chardonnay Day – so obviously we had to feature a few of our favourite vinos! Our Top 5 also features a divine array of our favourite spirits and wines that can be made into mouth-watering cocktails.

It’s a fun issue Hello Joburgers, so dive right in!

Must be the early bird curse - makes it difficult for me to surprise her in the morning.

10h25 Turns out she went to buy groceries... go figure!

12h30 I take her paint balling in Diepsloot at Field 19, because she’s a bad-ass mixed with a little childlike energy. And she actually likes it!

Got to get those life knots out while we talk about boys and catch up on life.

5 www.moyo.co.za 22h00 My mom and I usually go into that midnight conversation at home, where we play on each other’s mind with bad jokes and philosophy.

We talk about how Mother’s Day should be all year round. And then it clicks - I must be the luckiest girl in the world to have her as a mother!

WEEKEND DINING IN THE COUNTRY

Introducing the gorgeous L’antico Giardino restaurant

I

We slipped away for an afternoon of indulgence, starting with an incredibly relaxing, Hydradermie Double Ionisation facial. You’re ushered away into a private room with dimmer lights like stars on the ceiling. Your attentive technician will tuck you in tight while soothing, natural sounds fill your ears. And then, she will worship your skin – the way it deserves to be.

A lovely cleanse with the best products on the market, complete with steam to really open up those pores. Your wrinkles will be smoothed out under the staffs’ expert fingertips, with heavenlyscent essential oils and moisturiser to leave your skin baby-smooth!

We reluctantly hopped off the bed at the end, our skin glowing and full of youth. However, our pampering wasn’t over – it was time our nails got some attention. Mani’s, Pedi’s, foot scrubs, soaks and bone-melting massages… the possibilities are endless at RUB Salon. Tints, waxing, slimming and even men’s grooming, this is your one-stop-spot for all things luxurious. You definitely won’t regret a visit here.

Words Victoria Taylor Photos Liandri du Plessis

e can’t imagine how this gem managed to stay hidden for so long. To truly understand what an oasis RUB Salon is, you have to book yourself some ‘me time’ and head on over – and we highly recommend you do, fast!

t’s the latest offering from the Forum Company, and we could not be more thrilled about it - especially since it’s only forty minutes outside of Jozi.

Hello Joburgers, this fresh new restaurant is the ideal weekend spot!

There’s something about the evergreen outdoors of Johannesburg, and this venue celebrates it. Not only is there intimate accommodation in The Quarters, a chapel and wedding venue (for up to 140 guests), but there’s also a charming restaurant.

This dolce vita setting is at the top of our hotlist, and should be on top of your must-do list this season.

The reward of this venue can be found in the sourdough crumpets, topped with ricotta honey and wild rocket. You’ll also find a silo of magic inside the home baked granola jam packed with beautiful seasonal fruits and fresh berries. For a Sunday luncheon, we recommend the aubergine pate with roasted beets and pumpkin and a serving of samp tabbouleh, or the three rivers salmon trout with organic greens, hearty farm bread and butter and a side of lemon marmalade… need we say more?

Words Bianca Spinner

The restaurant, L’antico Giardino is open on Saturdays and Sundays for breakfast and lunch. It hits the sweet spot because not only is the venue elegant and picturesque, but the country setting and humble fresh flavors will leave your taste buds tingling. Nestled in the Highveld countryside, there’s no justification to sit on your couch all day. Rather laze about in the sunshine in this beautiful garden setting that is perfect for the whole family, or better yet, grab your bike and cycle through the Cradle. All followed by a scrumptious wholesome farm to table breakfast.

t may fall under ‘Sandton’ on the Jozi-radar, but many argue that the lifestyle in Fourways is less uptight and more youthful - especially with the newly launched Bounce Inc and Mash Braai House opening up the place to many new faces.

FEAST AFRICAN-STYLE AT MASH BRAAI HOUSE In 2013, Mash Braai House opened its doors with one aim - to introduce indigenous dishes to the northern suburbs of Joburg. The modern shisanyama concept is bringing a much needed township flavour to upmarket areas, serving traditional meals and providing a truly South African Shisanyama lifestyle experience. The food is bold and tasty, the atmosphere relaxed and it’s also got a new branch in Comaro Crossing, south of Jozi!

Most popular dish: Dumbling and steak served with two sides of veggies.

The Life Day Spa in Fourways is a great way to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. We’d recommend trying the spacious steam room and their couple packages, which include everything from hot stones to full body skin treatments!

THE MOST AUTHENTIC KIND OF MARKET – FOURWAYS FARMERS MARKET A day market with farm style authenticity.

Whatever your taste-buds permit, you are in for a treat with the various stalls ranging from sweet delights like homemade fudge to savoury bites like the tofu and black bean vegan meals. The Balkan Burger and Mexican stands are very popular with adults, but the kids always rush to the freshly-made fruit smoothies. Apart from the many goodies you can eat here, there are plenty of takehome options such as jams, olives and fresh spices and herbs. The Fourways Farmer’s Market has a country style, laid-back setting and décor, with actual haystacks and various farm-like ‘furniture’.

nuts. Another firm fave are the Grilled Brown Mushrooms. Stuffed with sautéed spinach, perfectly crisp bacon and mozzarella cheese and served with kicky tomato and pineapple salsa. It’s a divine start to your evening of indulgence.

A Chefs Speciality, the Stuffed Chicken Breast is a dream come true… bursting with flavour thanks to the apricot, spinach and goats cheese.

Served with a hearty helping of roasted veggie couscous (divine!) that’s flavoured with mint leaves and a creamy honey mustard sauce.

Do yourself a favour – splurge and try the Slow Braised Lamb Shank. It literally falls of the bone, cooked to perfection. It’s wonderfully complemented with a buttered mash, braised baby onions and button mushrooms that pack a punch of flavour.

Now Parc Fermé may be swanky, but it’s also incredibly inviting. The black and white décor says ‘business’, but the energetic pops of red and elegant chandeliers whisper ‘pleasure’. Not to mention, the staff are happy to help in every single way. Walk through the restaurant and Hello Joburg • May 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

You’ll feel like you’ve stepped off the High Street in New York City, and into an eatery where the high-flying gals from Sex in the City dine. A swanky bar lines the wall to your right, while perfectly laid tables flood the left side of the room.

If you still have room for a treat, we recommend you dive head-first into the Crepe Suzette.

Cooked in an indulgent sauce of caramelized sugar, butter and orange juice and zest, these beauties are then flambéed with Grand Marnie to add that final kick of flavour. We’re also big fans of the Chocolate Fondant, because we’re simple people at heart and – chocolate, duh!

chef of the month

Owner and Head Chef at Bistro Michel

ocated in the quaint Blubird Shopping Centre, just off Corlett Drive in Birnam, you’d be forgiven for not knowing Bistro Michel was there. However, the locals certainly know all about this classic French bistro, complete with a French owner and chef, Michel Morand.

Bistro Michel opened its doors at its current premises in January 2015 and boasts some of the best views in Johannesburg. The bistro is typically French – the benches and wooden tables, chalkboard menus and décor would make you think that you had stepped straight into the French countryside.

Michel was taught to cook by his grandmother. His love for classic sauces and the simple, yet tasty French cuisine was instilled in him back then, so it’s not surprising that Michel chose to make his career in the kitchen – preparing dishes that his grandmother used to make when he was young. Nothing tastes better than a home cooked meal that’s prepared with love! After completing his schooling, Michel headed to culinary school in Lyon and the rest, as they say, is culinary history.

French cooking, although simple and not expensive by any stretch of the imagination, is defined by its sauces. Michel is passionate about his sauces prepared, of course, in the classic French style.

20

This makes the dishes served at Bistro Michel unique, and totally unforgettable.

Hello Joburg • May 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

One of the most interesting things about Bistro Michel is its staff. Almost all staff members have been with Michel since the days of his first restaurants – Gatrile’s and Auberge Michel – and they have had the privilege to serve the ‘who’s who’ of South Africa. This includes former president Nelson Mandela as well as international guests including Bill Clinton, Sepp Blatter, John Legend, Lionel Ritchie and numerous captains of world industry.

Of course, we wanted to know what is his favourite dish on the menu is. Although he admits he loves both the steak tartare and onion soup, he added that this changes daily, depending on what fresh ingredients are available to make the specials board. One of the things that’s unique about Bistro Michel is that although the menu is static, they will make about five to 10 portions of a certain dish and pop it up on the blackboard. Once it’s sold out, it’s wiped off and Michel moves on to creating the next masterpiece of a dish.

At Bistro Michel, bread has never tasted so good and the foie gras… well, it will just melt in your mouth. Michel’s burgers are also pretty legendary, might we add. You will want to come hungry, that’s for sure! Bistro Michel is for those who appreciate the finer things in life, an excellent dining experience that entails good food, good wine, exceptional service and wonderful ambience which Michel Morand is renowned for.

Bistro Michel can be found at Shop 22, Blubird Shopping Centre, Corner Atholl-Oaklands Road and Fort Street, Birnam.

The Restauranteur

NICOLAS KIROS

of The Big Mouth

A

n epicurean and entrepreneur, there’s little that will stand in the way of Restaurateur Nicolas Kiros, and his appetite for fine food. Before embarking upon his travels, he doesn’t enquire about what he can see, but rather what he can eat.

Whether it’s a cheeseburger at Balthazar, fish sandwich at Gordon Ramsay’s Burgr in Vegas or foie gras scrambled eggs at Au Cheval; it’s these trips, filled with food research that fuel his imagination and passion for his palatable projects, such as The Big Mouth - a charcoal grill and sushi bar, named after the big mouth bass.

For Nick, restaurants are all about atmosphere, and he believes that they are equally about the experience as the food. The Big Mouth serves as an everyday eatery and destination dining, with staff that are passionate and hungry to learn. Nick has taught them everything he knows, as he believes that teamwork is the key to success. For him, food is like poetry and is a collaborative effort from start to finish, which is made possible by the camaraderie he encourages in his kitchens.

He would love to have a meal prepared for him by Thomas Keller, American Chef and Restaurateur, whose landmark Napa Valley restaurant, The French Laundry, has won multiple awards. Inspired by his attention to detail, attitude to wastage and perfection with which he prepares each dish, Nick aims to achieve these sentiments is his own spaces.

Nick’s first attempt at preparing food for his family and friends was inspired by his friend’s father, who taught him the art of roasting a chicken in Greece, a skill he has not forgotten. He fell in love with food over breakfast and recalls his sister, Chef and Cookbook Author Tessa Kiros, preparing a strawberry and balsamic omelette that sealed the insatiable deal.

MidComp - sponsoring printing and application of the designs to the final trailers.

“The ultimate goal is to help many more street food vendors, get people talking about how they too can get involved in helping their community, and make the people of Jozi proud. We live in an amazing city and we are hugely grateful to be part of change,” says Shannon.

Raizcorp – help with business training and mentorship for each chef.

Pauline Corker (food innovator & consultant), and Nic Marot (former chef and national operations manager for Tashas) – teach kitchen maintenance and food-prep up-skills.

Zomato - has offered free online advertising for each street kitchen.

Hello Joburgers, we’ll bet you didn’t know that there are around half a million street food vendors in South Africa. Those vendors play an important part in our economy. Most of them are unbranded, unknown and struggling to make a living.

The creative duo who make up Being Frank, Shannon Davis & Joanne Theron, aim to turn these street food vendors into vibrantly branded, sustainable businesses.

They’ve already partnered with three amazing women - Ali Ndlovu, Busisiwe Khumalo and Johanna Ramufhi.

VERY NICE VINO…

Three cheers for 26 May – it’s International Chardonnay Day!

W

e’re not making it up Hello Joburgers. On International Chardonnay Day, you have no choice but to sip away. We’ve found some goodies from three fantastic wine farms…

30% of the grapes are whole bunch pressed and the component fermented naturally in French oak casks. 50% of the grapes are destemmed, crushed, pressed and inoculated to ferment in French oak barrels. The remaining 20 % of the wine fermented and matured in stainless steel tank. After maturing for nine month, these components are blended together to create the Neil Ellis Elgin Chardonnay 2015.

Packed with stone fruits with citrus like acidity and good phenolic tension, it’s a superb vino. Around R115 a bottle.

Light golden green in colour with youthful lime and melon aromatics, and gorgeous ripe citrus notes, the Neil Ellis Whitehall Chardonnay 2015 is always a winner. It has great texture, mouth-feel and freshness – and pairs brilliantly with oysters, pork or a rich fish like salmon. Around R225 a bottle.

5 www.neilellis.com

26

The Glenelly Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2014 Wooded has scents of citrus, lime zest and flint, with subtle hints of apple and an underlying minerality and vanilla butterscotch.

Delish! It’s lush on the palate, with a creamy texture and hints of toasted almond and more vanilla. Makes for a lovely pairing with an aromatic curry, a simple tuna tartare or seafood paella. Around R210 a bottle.

5 www.glenellyestate.com Hello Joburg • May 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

The grapes for the Groote Post Unwooded Chardonnay 2016 are grown on the highest hill on the property. They need to be kept cool to maintain freshness. It’s fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 days. This one has distinct tropical, citrus and guava flavours on the nose and palate and ages exceptionally well. We love it with a light pasta dish or lemon and herb roast chicken. Around R91 a bottle.

The Groote Post Kapokberg Chardonnay 2015 (Wooded) has a fantastic golden straw colour and fills your nose with toasted almonds with lashings of butter. It’s an elegant chardonnay, leaving a zesty lime marmalade and creamy taste on your palate. Around R153 a bottle.

5 www.grootepost.co.za

Words Victoria Taylor

The Glenelly Glass Collection Chardonnay 2015 Unwooded has a bright colour, with a slight green hue. With aromas of citrus, papaya, melon and pear and a round, comforting texture on the palate, this zesty wine ages well and pairs brilliantly with shellfish, oysters and fish. Around R90 a bottle.

HOW SUPERMOM STAYS FIT When she’s not chasing after kids…

W

ake up, shower, get the kids dressed, make breakfast, pack lunches, find the missing shoe, manoeuvre through taxis and try beat the school bell. All this before 9am? You should have a cape- because those are superpowers!

A mums schedule can be overwhelming, and may also be the reason many women struggle with their weight. We’ve created three resistance exercises and a routine that will work out your entire body with practically no equipment.

• Curl in your toes and lift your knees off the floor, straightening your body. This is your starting position.

Squats

• Finally, push on your hands to lift your chest and hips back into the starting position.

When done properly, squats alleviate pressure from the knees by strengthening the surrounding muscles, without any unnecessary impact on the joint.

• Place your feet hip-width apart.

• Bring your arms forward, hinge at the waist and sit back as if reaching for a chair that someone is pulling away. Your knees shouldn’t move forward, but stay behind your toes while you go as deep as possible, until the top of your legs are parallel to the floor.

• Return to the standing position by pushing on your heels and lifting your chest.

Push-ups • Start on your hands and knees.

Tricep Dips As the name implies, this exercise focuses on the triceps - an area of concern for many women.

• First, sit on the floor and place your hands on the floor behind your hips, directly below your shoulders.

• Bend your knees, place your feet under the knees and lift your hips off the floor - this is your starting position.

Set 1 10 slow, deep squats Jog in place for 2 minutes 10 push-ups Jog in place for 2 minutes 10 tricep dips Rest for 1 minute Set 2 15 squats Jog in place for 90 seconds 15 push-ups Jog in place for 90 seconds 15 tricep dips Rest for 1 minute

• Extend your arms and push on your heels to return to the starting position.

Set 3 20 squats Jog in place for 1 minute 20 push-ups Jog in place for 1 minute 20 tricep dips.

Finish by performing long, static stretches for at least 3 to 5 minutes.

You can work these three exercises into a simple 30 to 45 minute routine. First, warm up your muscles with approximately 10 to 15 minutes of light jogging in place, followed by leg swings and arm circles.

Now that you’ve completed the above in a matter of minutes, get those leotards and head off to save the world!

• Bend your elbows and lower your upper body, just before the hips touch the floor.

Words Brett R Palframan

• Place your hands wider than your shoulders and your knees should be behind your hips.

• Next, bend your elbows and lower your chest and hips simultaneously until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.

Perform three sets of varying reps and durations:

You leave feeling relaxed, happy and ready to take on the day! Expect some stiffness at first but in time that fades too.

WHAT: Brunch never gets old especially in a quirky setting with delicious sugary, carby things. And after a yoga class, you and mum are both bound to have worked up an appetite.

WHERE: Living Yoga is one of many, but comes highly recommended by our friends who are already dedicated to what they call ‘the practise’.

GROWING ENTREPRENEURS with Operation Hunger

W

hat does a vegetable garden grow? In Umqanduli, a village outside Umtata, three new gardens grow cabbage, spinach, beetroot, onions, green peppers and turnips.

THEY ALSO GROW ENTREPRENEURS. Operation Hunger helped widows from the village set up the gardens.

Then, thanks to funding and training from people like you, they became entrepreneurs. They learnt to sell their vegetables to the village and start a business. Which, in turn, provided income to buy school uniforms for their children and profits to buy a deep freezer. Which, in turn, allowed them to buy more products – like meat and cool drinks – to sell to the community.

Words Mark Vader

Now, two years later, they have even established a small grocery shop.

So, you could say the Umqanduli gardens are steadily growing vegetables, entrepreneurs and an entire community. Not to mention a sense of hope in a previously impoverished area of South Africa.

Operation Hunger has provided positive action in the fight against malnutrition in South Africa for 35 years. Our methods empower individuals, households and their communities. In Umqanduli the foundations are now set for future income-generating projects as well as other projects such as the local feeding scheme. But, as ever, we need your help. With your donation, Umqanduli will grow further.

Despite the enormous strides South Africa has made, hunger remains a real problem in our country. We rely on the compassion and the concern of businesses and individuals to fund us – so that we can fund our income-generating food-security schemes: our soup kitchens, gardens, broilers and egg laying projects. You can help. Your one-off or, better still, your regular donation will grow more people like the widows of Umqanduli into successful entrepreneurs.

Be the change South Africa needs.

Donate now.

Sophiatown, the iconic musical is now on at The Market Theatre until 14 May. Sophiatown back in the 1950’s was a place where shebeen queens, gangsters, politicians, and black and white ‘Bohemians’ rubbed shoulders and traded drinks in a heady atmosphere fizzing with music, style, and rebellion. This lively and memorable multi-award winning musical (under the experienced eye of director Malcolm Purkey) is an imaginative reconstruction of a story of journalists who set up a house together. They then advertised for another housemate to live with them but the challenge was integration across the colour borders.

A Harvest of Thorns by Corban Addison is a story based on an actual factory fire that took place in Bangladesh in 2012, killing over 100 people and injuring over 100 more. A picture of a young girls body emerges, her face covered in a garment with a well-known American brand label on it – and the accusations start flying. The CEO turns to his team for damage control, a way to make the company look good despite the fire, while a disgraced journalist travels across the world to investigate the dark underbelly of the fashion industry, seeking redemption for his past mistakes. It’s a gripping tale, a real eye-opener right from the first page, and you’ll devour it whole.

DANCING

Now we’ll admit that Beefcakes may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if it isn’t, you sure are missing out. It’s the perfect destination for a birthday party, girl’s night out or a raunchy Bachelorette. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting (must be the hunky waiters) while the décor is fab – all hot pink, flamingos and heavy velvet curtains. Picture ‘The Birdcage’ meets a trendy café in the 50s. Love it!

Life doesn’t have to be a drag…

The stars of the show have moves that will put the rest of us ladies to shame. Expect naughty jokes, a bit of a fondle, and if you’re there for a special occasion, you’re definitely going to get pulled on stage. It’s not all bad though, those hunky waiters also make a stage appearance, and leave without their shirts!

The shows happen every night at 8.30pm, and are an hour long. Once it’s all over, the stars mingle with us little people and the stage opens for everyone to get the boogie on. The music alone is a reason to check this place out – old school power anthems that will get your feet tapping in no time. If you’re just looking for somewhere to kick back and get your cocktail on, the bar is open to the public for a drink from 9.30pm until closing.

We’ve got to mention the infamous body shots – straight off the hot bod of a topless waiter of your choice. Warning – there will be some licking involved. In addition to their sinfully tasty cocktails, Beefcakes serve up a selection of gourmet burgers, delish nibbly bits and fresh salads.

Here’s where the fun starts. For just R250 per person, you’ll get a divine dinner and one heck

at the Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa

nysna, forming part of the garden route, has to be one of the most exquisite locations our country has to offer. This town is famous for its natural allure and charm, warm people and magnificent views.

Words Bianca Spinner

We visited the Turbine Hotel and Spa and to be frank, we didn’t want to leave. It’s in an optimum location, and the hotel is a heritage site, which existed as a power station in 1939 and 1940. The remodelling of this majestic creation took three years, arduous years and the labour of almost 350 people.

The Turbine exudes an energy that is addictive.

In every nook and cranny you’ll find character, personality and charisma. The hotel has colourful funky décor and old school charm.

They’ve managed to secure the history of the power station while reshaping it to fit into modern times. The space is contemporary, with excellent views of the water’s edge and restored industrial interiors. We stayed in the Yacht Room, and while the hotel is boutique and has 24 rooms, each room is individually decorated and styled in tribute to Knysna’s rich heritage.

We loved each twinkle of this hotel, especially the hospitable, great hearted staff.

Must-try’s when visiting Turbine: Book a 60 minute pamper session at the hotel spa • A visit to the Amani Spa is non-negotiable.

Your stay is incomplete without a pamper session. It’s a luxurious space and has a relaxing, enticing ambience.

Explore Knysna by bicycle or canoe • Rent a bike or canoe from the Turbine Water Club. The club offers a variety of water sports, land activities and fun in the Knysna lagoon. Hire a bike - it’s the best way to see the area. You can stop for a cuppa and visit the local shops. We also recommend kayaking and exploring Kenyans and its lagoon. It’s serene but quite a workout.

Take a sunset cruise to the Knysna heads • This luxury lagoon cruise takes up to 12 people. Voyaging through the channels of Thesen Island and marvelling at the millionaire’s abodes… perfect. Book through The Turbine Water Club.

Grab a brew at the hotels Gastro Pub • The newly opened Gastro Pub at the Turbine has a laid back atmosphere. Sit outdoors in summer or keep snug indoors, and if you’re in the mood for finger food and craft beer, then this will hit the spot.

Just one more reason to visit Pretoria

L

ocated in the prestigious suburb of Waterkloof, the Menlyn Maine precinct is well under way to becoming one of the biggest, most advanced shopping, living and playing complexes in South Africa.

The design of the precinct is featured around the new greening principles of urban developments, which includes an environmental awareness approach. In keeping with international urban developments of living and working in the same space (being able to walk from your apartment to the transport system and your favourite spots), Menlyn Main aims to replicate this. Think apartments, hotels, restaurants, offices, shops and entertainment all in the same area.

PICTURE PERFECT

Pretoria

There’s a party round the corner…

W

ord on the street is that Pretoria is one of the hottest places to be at the moment, and it’s not hard to see why. We took a little adventure and this is what we found… Hello Joburgers, you’re going to love it!

Menlyn Maine boasts a variety of eateries, and high end retail stores. Grab a bite to eat at Old Town Italy or Tasha’s, or grab a coffee from the buzzing Starbucks while the kids expend their endless energy at Bounce. Stock up on your health products at Wellness Warehouse, do some banking in the banking mall, or grab some groceries at Spar. Drop your dry cleaning, have a mani and a haircut or enjoy a workout at the gym – literally everything you need is in one location. This ‘European’ lifestyle of everything in one place is starting to look like a wonderful idea, for not only saving time and money – but just for making life simpler.

Words Heather Hook

Keeping in mind the general move towards using public transport in our urban areas, there are three bus stations which link to the Gautrain, the Bus Rapid Transit system running between Menlyn Maine and Hatfield, and to Pretoria’s city bus service.

A new bridge link is also planned to come directly off Atterbury Road, which will give direct access to Menlyn Maine from the North. The recently opened Time Square Casino Complex is also set to become a huge draw card!

Located in Centurion, Irene Country Lodge is centrally located from the airport and surrounding shopping centers. This spot is perfect for special occasions, weekend getaways, staycations, conferences and meetings. We love that there are so many affordable packages on offer to suit everyone’s pocket.

The rooms are luxurious, spacious and decorated in a modern, yet classic feel. Guests can expect a mini bar, flat screen television, a variety of magazines and beverages and a coffee plunger – you know, for that extra boost in the morning. More importantly, there is an inviting bathtub and shower. Bubble bath anyone?

There’s nothing better than being greeted by a magical view as you part the curtains and open the sliding door onto the balcony.

Hello Joburg • May 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

The tranquility, the natural setting… you’d never believe Irene Country Lodge is located off a busy thoroughfare!

The Meadow Green Restaurant is an absolute delight. Chef Hanroe Erasmus will send you on a culinary journey. There’s something for all taste buds – whether you’re after vegetarian, pescatarian, or meaty dishes, from chicken to an American-styled smoked barbecue. Stomach rumbling? Save space, because the dessert selection is mouth-watering. All this to choose from while soaking in the lake view… splendid and breath-taking! Seriously, you should definitely give it a try.

The Camdeboo Day Spa is a special treat.

Your week’s stresses will melt away at the hands of a talented therapist during a luxurious, full-body massage. If you’re craving a complete pampering, friendly service, scrumptious food and complete serenity, Camdeboo Spa offers superb packages to spoil that someone special or to de-stress from everyday life.

Lust after luxury at Irene Country Lodge When we say it’s the perfect weekend getaway destination, we mean it. The Irene Dairy Farm is within walking distance of the lodge, and Hello Joburgers, it’s a must-visit! You can splurge on fresh produce, milk, cheeses and a divine selection of baked goods. The Milk Tart is what dreams are made of. If you prefer to relax and take in the farm-style scenery, there are coffee shops and restaurants for one to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast or tasty lunch.

The farm also caters a unique and interactive experience for children. There are beautiful white swans, dairy cows, tons of chickens and even a decked out play area to keep them entertained while you indulge in all the delish food.

You’re guaranteed a fantastic, relaxing weekend away. You’ll leave the African Pride Irene Country Lodge feeling completely relaxed and perfectly balanced again. It’s certainly worth a visit!

The word ‘Geet’ in Hindi means ‘melodious poem’, and Hello Joburgers, we’re not joking when we say that the cuisine certainly lives up to being nothing less than an artwork in every dish!

Have your pick of tender meat dishes prepared in tandoori ovens, and plenty of hearty vegetarian options too! Yes, we are looking out for our fellow veggie friends. One of the highlights at Geet is the Whiskey Library Lounge - a private area adorned with comfy cushions, soft-lit lamps and Smokey mirrors. The Lounge overlooks the main dining room and is perfect for intimate occasions and birthday parties. This spot almost makes your feel as if you’ve been transported to another exotic location.

One of our favourite meals has to be the garlic naan bread, accompanied by a mouth-watering Panner dish. Panner is an Indian ricotta cheese dish with cashew nut gravy. Yum! We’ve got to mention the desserts… mind blowing! We indulged in delicate marshmallow dust lightly sprinkled over our blueberry ice cream, topped with pomegranates. Need we say more?

7Ana minutes with Kuni Born in Ukraine, artist Ana now spends her time between London, Cape Town and Ibiza. She used to be a model – which took her across the globe – and coincidently, inspired most of her artworks.

5 www.anakuni.com t @ana_kuni @ana_kuni (dead or alive) who would it be?

I wake up at 5.30, meditate for 15 min and make hot water with lemon and ginger. Then I make breakfast, take my daughter to school, then go to yoga before painting until 5pm or searching for inspirational material for a new project.

Then I play with my daughter - who asks me to call her Panda by the way. We watch the sunset, make a healthy dinner and make plans for tomorrow.

I want to meet so many! Currently, I am obsessing over Hera’s work from HeraKut. The way she shapes her characters moves the whole world!

Energetic. Dynamic. Colorful

Cape Town has forever stolen my heart, but I really enjoyed living in Japan when I was a teenager.

You’ve lived in almost everywhere, but which has been Describe your art in three words. your favourite?

Who inspires you creatively?

Strong women who know what they want, or are not afraid to find out. A curious mind and gentle heart is very inspiring to me.

If you could meet one artist Hello Joburg • May 2017 • Hellojoburg.co.za

How do you keep fit and healthy?

I do yoga, hike and stay active during the day. I never spend a day on the couch unless I’m sick.

What does being a mother mean to you?

Learning patience, non-attachment and unconditional love.

Any special Mother’s day plans?

Every day is Mother’s day. I stay away from most of the holidays and try not to take any moment for granted.
