Die Voormanshuis ~ Accommodation at Creation If you ever wanted to stay in the Hemel & Aarde Valley, this is where you want to be. Trust Creation Wines to serve a new experience on yet another new level.

The beautiful sleek design of Die Voormanshuis is the brainchild of architect Andrew Finlayson. Even though the building is super modern, it seems to sit buttery-light in its beautiful surrounds. Set among the vineyards ‌more about Die Voormanhuis at Creation

Ancient Egyptians regarded the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition.

De Glebe grows pomegranates on a farm situated close to Piketberg. I was lucky to be introduced to the hard working team and left the lovely farm with several boxes of excellent quality Pomegranates as well as a couple of liters of frozen 100% Juice.

Unlike any other Pomegranate juice I have ever bought, due to the gentle pressing process, it features no bitterness or tartness. Just divine, fresh, sweet goodness.

Coastal Cleanups Antonio da Silva-Swart's passion lies with hiking the coast and organising cleanups along the Whale Coat coastline, either with school learners or volunteers from the area.

On the ďŹ rst Saturday of each month, I hold a cleanup of the coast and collect the marine debris with Volunteers.

The area gets decided after I have done a reconnaissance of the coast or one of my area specialists lets me know what it looks like in their area.

The bags are sponsored by Plastics SA and I take the debris to Whale Coast Conservation Green House in Vermont, for analysing/counting and sorting. The results get emailed to Plastics SA for the annual international coastal cleanup day and yearly results.

These results get sent to the International Coastal Cleanup Organisation for global reporting.

Volunteers can contact Antonio 0724624271 Please read these articles for more information and inspiration.

Let’s Do Random Acts Of Kindness

When driving along the N2 between Cape Town and The Garden Route, or veer off onto the R43 going to Hermanus or Gansbaai, you might want to STOP and smell the roses, taste the wine, buy the cheese, go for lunch, marvel at local talent, ďŹ nd hidden gems, make memories, take home souvenirs.

If you are planning a trip, be sure to include stops along the way at these wonderful places.
