f you want tasty, home-cooked food without actually cooking it yourself, Sea Point is ahead of the game. Forget any preconceptions of fast food, these two new chicken joints offer healthy eating on the go with free-range chickens (both source their poultry from Elgin Free Range Chickens), cooked with a whole lot of love and care.

The Chicken Shop

Inspired by the neighbourhood chicken shops in Australia, where locals pick up a whole roast chicken and sides for an instant take-home dinner, the team behind Jarryd’s Espresso Bar and Eatery in Regent Road partnered with chef Scott Walker to create The Chicken Shop on

Customers are spoilt for choice at a counter brimming with tempting hot sides and colourful salads, behind which there's a huge charcoal pit roasting spatchcock chickens and a wood-fired pizza oven for cuts of lamb, vegetables and pizzas. You can eat in or get a takeaway (packaging is either biodegradable or recyclable) piling plates high with roast vegetables, rich potato bake, cauliflower cheese, beautifully varied salads (including beetroot spiced with dukkah), lamb that falls apart and mouthwatering chicken marinated overnight so that it's tender and full of flavour.

Cocotte

At this tiny rotisserie shop next to Mojo Market in Regent Road, owners Delphine De Beer and Catherine Lauria recreate the quality and simplicity of their favourite Parisian rotisseries. Their recipe is simple: the best chickens are slowly cooked in a specially imported French rotisserie oven, with a secret blend of herbs and spices. Basted frequently, the chickens are mouth-wateringly succulent, ready to take home with a side salad or a little tub of luscious home-made mayonnaise or fresh herby yoghurt. You can also get a generous chicken baguette sandwich on the go. Ring in your order 90 minutes ahead of collection and a beautifully bronzed chicken will be ready, piping hot, in a purpose-designed and insulated bag to keep it warm and moist until you get home. For summer, Cocotte will add more eat-on-the-go options such as chicken wraps and chicken salads.

Bot River Over the Rainbow Spring Weekend | Melissa Nelsen, 083 302 6562 | botriverwines.com

Bright spring days at Bot River B

The wineries of Bot River are welcoming the arrival of spring with a tasting festival and Heritage Month menus

ot River is a region that keeps a low profile in the Cape Winelands, but this September the wineries just over Sir Lowry’s Pass will host the Over the Rainbow Spring Weekend (1 – 3 September) to draw wine lovers over the mountains.

WORDS: RICHARD HOLMES

“The wineries of Bot River are truly a welcoming community and the Spring Weekend is one of our favourite occasions to showcase our farms and the riches to be found on them,” says Melissa Nelsen, Genevieve MCC, who says the annual festival is “a celebration of the diversity of our village in all its magnificent colour and swag”.

IMAGES: SUPPLIED

The weekend kicks off with an exclusive “Best of Bot Wines” foodand-wine experience at Wildekrans Estate on Friday, 1 September. Gregory Henderson, executive chef, Forage restaurant, teams up with sommelier Higgo Jacobs to present a masterstroke in food and wine pairing.

Over the weekend, the Bot River wineries throw open their doors to welcome visitors with a range of activities and offers. Newcomer estate, Arcangeli Wines, celebrates the classic Italian cultivar with its BARolo wine bar, while Wildekrans is pretty in pink as it dishes out glasses of delicious Méthode Cape Classique Brut Rosé at the gate. From here, you can meander at will; there will be a food truck at Luddite, canapé tastings at Rivendell Estate, fynbos talks at Paardenkloof and sundowners at Maremmana Polo Estate. Gabriëlskloof will continue its celebrations for the whole of September, though, with a month-long menu of South African cuisine that culminates in a Heritage Day feast. During September, visitors to the Gabriëlskloof Tasting Lounge can tuck into the Mzansi Tapas Taster paired with four estate wines. The platter includes snoek ‘n patat croquettes with amasi foam and chakalaka, bobotie poppers, pickled fish tacos, and biltong in red wine. The platter will also be available at the estate’s restaurant during Heritage Month, culminating in a long-table feast in the courtyard on 24 September. “Gabriëlskloof is proudly South African, which is why we’re excited to share our passion and pleasures with fellow South Africans around the fire as we celebrate our cultural heritage and diversity. We’ve laid on some brilliant food and wine for the occasion and have made it absolutely family-friendly,” says Frans Groenewald, executive chef. Tickets for the 2017 Bot River Over the Rainbow Spring Weekend cost R100 per person and are available via Quicket (goo.gl/FnGedf ).

and the smoke-firing. I was doing painting and glazes before and the materials for that are expensive and sometimes hard to get. With smoke-firing you don’t need much in the way of materials; it’s just the burnishing using a stone and then vegetable oil and newspaper. Even if you don’t have an electric kiln you can always use a peat fire outside. The Cape Craft and Design Institute played a big role in terms of showcasing my work, both nationally and internationally, and now my work is exhibited in galleries like Southern Guild and Art in the Forest in Cape Town, and others in Joburg and Durban.

eramic artist Madoda Fani’s beautiful smoke-fired vessels, intricately decorated by hand, are in demand from collectors all over the world. He tells us about moving back to Cape Town, to a studio in Woodstock shared with his brother, Siyabonga Fani, after three years working in Johannesburg. Q: How did your business start? A: I started to work as a ceramic painter at the Potter’s Workshop in Muizenberg and worked there for about eight years. I then worked for Art in the Forest until 2013, when I decided to go to Johannesburg to start on my own business. I chose Johannesburg because the smokefired vessels are mostly made in KwaZulu-Natal. I wanted to meet up with other artists from KZN and learn how to do the burnishing

Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop? A: I worked for three years in Joburg until the centre I was working from was going to be demolished for renovation, so I decided to come back to Cape Town. Q: How did you find your premises? A: My brother, ceramicist Siyabonga Fani, was already established here at The Palms Decor and Lifestyle Centre in Woodstock, so I joined him in his studio and started to help him with his business. Q: Why are the premises ideally suited to your business? A: We make and sell from here. Siyabonga Ceramics is the shop at the front and the studio is at the back. We have easy access to a lot of things and inspiration as well. If you get stuck you can go and look at

other people’s work for inspiration. It’s also close to the CBD for getting materials, boxes, packaging. Everything is around the corner. Q: Who are your neighbours? A: R iot Brewery, Final Touches and all the other shops at The Palms Decor and Lifestyle Centre. Q: What are the shop rentals like in this area? A: It’s more affordable than the CBD. Q: What is your shop footprint? A: It’s quiet during the week, and we get 10 to 15 people a day, but there’s a market on the weekends, so a lot of people come in and out. Q: Do you have any expansion plans? A: I usually do big once-off pieces. However, I’ve decided to add a smaller, more affordable range. I hope to get orders large enough so that we can employ more people who need jobs and grow the business. Q: Do you operate online as well? A: We’re active on Facebook. Q: What’s your most popular item? A: My big smoke-fired pots.

Sitari Country Estate Winner of Best Residential Development in Africa 2016/2017 at the International Property Awards WORDS & IMAGES: SUPPLIED

ntricately woven between the homes at Sitari Country Estate are green open spaces, herb gardens, orchards, ponds and gentle trickles of water, offering residents tranquillity and immersion in nature. Children can run free and parents can enjoy evening walks on the 14km cycle and pedestrian route that stretches through the estate. The reinstatement of the second-largest wetland in the Helderberg basin after Paardevlei – Sitari’s Zeekoevlei Wetland – will bring a unique element of serenity and nature to residents’ doorsteps.

Top-notch security

An important aspect of a lifestyle estate is security, and Sitari’s security system is of the highest standard. On-site security will be monitored via the main gatehouse which will have biometric readers, number plate recognition and 24/7 staffed access control. Perimeters on the outside of the estate will feature underdig protection, serrated strips, anti-cutting and anti-climbing, with electrics on top as well as Future Fibre Technology with heat-sensitive triggers. These, when triggered, will activate cameras that will link back to the main control room. Roaming security vehicles will then be dispatched to the place of disturbance for inspection and action, where

necessary. Each junction within the estate will also have four-way cameras connecting to the control room.

High-level education

Another important aspect of living in a first-rate estate like Sitari is the consideration of the education of one’s children. It’s for precisely that reason that the fastest-growing independent school brand in South Africa, Curro, opened its doors to over 2,000 children at Sitari in 2016.

Impressive property portfolio offering

Purchasers can choose from country plots, luxury and premium apartments, village homes, country homes and signature collection properties. Country plots are available from R995,000, luxury apartments start from R1,495m and freestanding homes are available from R2,995m. Each of Sitari’s homes boasts highquality, luxury finishes and is curated with incredible attention to detail. Purchasers also have the option of building their own home, with the help of an approved panel of accredited architects and builders. Ever since its launch almost three years ago, Sitari

Country Estate has been writing its own rules in terms of record-breaking sales and awards. This 192ha estate and R4bn mega-project is already a local landmark that has attracted buyers not only from the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, but also as far as the UK, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Sweden and Central Africa.

First-class property sales centre

Sitari Country Estate, which has just won Best Residential Development in Africa 2016/2017 at the International Property Awards, opened the doors to its new state-of-the-art luxurious Property Sales Centre situated just off the R102 at Sitari’s main entrance gatehouse and open: weekdays from 9am to 5pm, Saturdays from 10am to 2pm, and Sundays from 2pm to 5pm. Waterbrook premium apartments are launching soon and interested buyers are encouraged to register their interest at sitari.co.za for an exclusive pre-launch notification.

Sagewood Security Estate Prestigious residential development launched in Sandown

n 2015, developers Milnerton Estates announced the launch of a new suburb – Sandown. Over the past two years, the developers and their professional team have worked tirelessly on the development, the design and on getting ultimate approval from the local authority for the first single residential estate to be launched here – Sagewood. After approval was granted in March this year, and the final documentation was completed, plots in Sagewood were made available to parents of learners of the adjoining Parklands College’s high school campus, the Sandown Campus, and to local developers. Following the sale of the 100th plot since May, plots in Sagewood are now being offered to the public.

Sagewood Security Estate Aska Sales Office, 021 556 2333 Nathan Green, 082 603 5564 sandown.me

Sagewood comprises 255 single residential plots, with plot sizes ranging from 229m² to 767m² and prices from R785,700 upwards. Each plot has design criteria based on its “small, medium or large” footprint. Architectural controls have been put in place to ensure that the layout, landscaping and urban character of the estate reflect the intended upmarket image already set by the Sandown Campus (pictured below).

With a range of plot sizes to choose from, the controls encourage a contemporary language. New owners, with their architect or designer, will have the flexibility to design a home that meets their needs in Cape Town’s newest and up-to-date security estate. The Sagewood Security Estate falls within the Sandown development and is governed by its constitution. All purchasers in the development will, on transfer of the property into their name, become members of the Sandown Property Owners’ Association (SPOA). Community Schemes Management Services has been appointed as the managing agent for the SPOA. Its responsibility is to ensure ongoing implementation and enforcement of the constitution, collect levies and ensure that the high standards established are maintained.

Safety and security

The security estate will set a benchmark for developments of this nature. It will offer electrical fencing on top of the walled and fenced environment, 24/7 gatehouse security with armed backup, access-controlled vehicular entrance and pedestrian gates positioned closest to Sandown Campus for the benefit of scholars and pedestrian movement to the north.

Nature and landscaping

Sagewood is surrounded by parks and open spaces. An ephemeral pan is situated to the west of the development, with further land set aside for future community sports fields to the north. The fynbos corridor is positioned to the east of Sagewood, with the Sandown Campus playing fields, across the road to the south, offering Cape Town’s favourite view. Landscaped parks with different themes are accommodated within the estate’s secure perimeter. These include a trim park, play parks, a water park, a jogging track along the paved roads and feature landscaping elements including playground furniture and state-of-the-art lighting.

Amenities and accessibility Sagewood is situated within walking distance of Sandown Road, which

hosts Virgin Active, major shopping opportunities at the Sandown Retail Crossing, Checkers Hyper, Poco and Food Lover’s Market. In September, the Table Bay Mall, located within 2km of this estate, is due to open, incorporating major retail anchors, numerous line shops and amenities to cater for this rapidly growing area. The suburb enjoys an excellent public transport system, with the MyCiTi bus route connected to the change-over terminus at Bayside Mall, which in turn provides the integrated rapid bus service into the CBD. For the more energetic, there’s also a dedicated bicycle lane from Table View into the CBD.

Parklands College

The Sandown Campus of Parklands College is just over the road from Sagewood Security Estate. Parklands College offers complete peace of mind and prepares learners for the everchanging world. Parklands College regards the development of global citizenship, creativity, collaboration, communication, creativity and problem-solving skills as paramount to best preparing learners for their futures. Participation in sport, cultural activities, clubs and outreach initiatives provides learners with opportunities for leadership and character development. As an Apple Distinguished School, Parklands College makes use of Apple, Google Apps, Microsoft and other technologies to provide a richly layered and unique multimedia learning facility. Robotics as a subject has been integrated into the curriculum from Grade 1 and opportunities to further explore programming are available throughout the school. The college offers care and education from 12 months old to matric. Developers who secured plots in the pre-release stage are presently designing the homes that they will promote through their selling agents, while vacant land sales are conducted through the Aska Property Group. This will provide purchasers in Sagewood the opportunity of either selecting from a range of ready-built homes or purchasing a vacant plot on which they can design their own home.

and enjoy playing at Atlantic Beach, which offers the best links course.” Golfers also have the option of the scenic Milnerton Golf Club sandwiched between the beach and Diep River, with abundant birdlife and amazing views. If you’re not a golfer or a kitesurfer, there’s plenty to enjoy in the local lifestyle.

PRIMI Piatti, Carlucci’s and hidden gems like The Fue (which has recently reopened after a winter break), you can make the 5km walk along the beach last all day with food stops along the way. There’s also Petit Fours at Bloubergstrand and the Big Bay strip of eateries for post-surf relaxation.

There’s more open water to reflect the view at Rietvlei, a wetland reserve full of a variety of birds from flamingos to pelicans, and where the Milnerton Aquatic Club adds windsurfing, canoeing and sailing to the water sports menu. This openair, water-based lifestyle is what attracts many people to the area.

“I love the West Coast feel and way of life, the beach walks, open spaces and restaurants with amazing views,” says Tina Slater, Froggies School Shoes, who came to Milnerton 10 years ago and recently moved to a house closer to the beach in Bloubergstrand. “There’s no heavy traffic like in town and the MyCiTi bus can get you anywhere. Coming from Vredehoek, we were able to get a larger family home with a big garden. The value for money is much better.”

“I love kiting and surfing. Bloubergstrand and the surrounding area offer this in abundance,” says Roland Kugelmann, director, The Sir David Boutique Guest House. “In fact, Bloubergstrand is known worldwide as a fantastic kiting destination. I’m also an avid golfer

The food scene here is like the lifestyle: casual, friendly and focused on the view. From the laid-back sundowner spots on Woodbridge Island or at the popular Blue Peter Hotel, to the cluster of trendy cafes around Marine Circle, including Melissa’s, FrozenYo, Trecastelli,

As the population has grown with the addition of the newer suburbs of Sunningdale and Parklands and developments around Big Bay, infrastructure has kept pace. Families are well served by a choice of schools, from well-regarded public schools and prestigious private schools, the Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital and Mediclinic Milnerton, and a retail offering that ranges from a host of small businesses to the chain stores in Bayside Mall and the various small neighbourhood malls. A huge new mall is due to open in Sunningdale soon amid much anticipation from locals.

f the Western Seaboard lifestyle were summed up on a postcard, it would show a view of Table Mountain from across the bay with colourful kites zipping across the waves, runners and dog-walkers in the foreground and maybe a retro food truck or two on the long beachfront. Those classic views of the mountain can be seen from Milnerton through to Bloubergstrand, Big Bay and even the other side of the R27 coastal road in Table View and Sunningdale.

However, it’s the active beach lifestyle, the sea air, ocean mists, sunsets and endless views that make living in the Western Seaboard magical.

WOODBRIDGE ISLAND

I love the lifestyle, the natural beauty, wide open space and the many surfing opportunities from Table View to Melkbos. I also think it's an unpretentious part of the city – something else that makes it great to live here. ROLAND KUGELMANN, THE SIR DAVID BOUTIQUE GUEST HOUSE

What can the Western Seaboard offer potential buyers, renters and investors?

What makes a Western Seaboard property a good investment?

What draws buyers to the Western Seaboard?

The Western Seaboard suburbs continue to be popular as the growth of property prices is strong. Parklands North is a sought-after area. Higher-end properties are mainly in Bloubergstrand. The Big Bay area offers a blend of large family homes in security estates, townhouses and sectional title apartments. There's a shortage due to the great demand for rentals, making this a lucrative market for investors.

The Western Cape attracts buyers both locally and globally, with the Bloubergstrand area being one of the many sought-after areas. Parklands and Sunningdale are two of the fastest-growing suburbs as they are close to stunning beaches and appeal to buyers of various price ranges. Families have excellent schools, MyCiTi buses and dedicated cycle lanes. And we can’t wait for our new Table Bay Mall, which is opening shortly.

The Western Seaboard, a 20-minute drive from the CBD, is the gateway to the many things to see and do in the rich diversity of flora and fauna of the West Coast. There are a variety of themed and fun self-drive routes, such as the Culture Route, the Foodie Route, the Scenic Route, the Berg Route and the Wild Route. There's also a Sustainable Seafood Track and a People Rocking Nature Track.
