We had dinner at one of the best restaurants in all of Africa, and it certainly lived up to its name. The Azure Restaurant brings five star quality cuisine, service and ambiance to Cape Town led by Chef Christo Pretorius. The interior was beautiful, with serene views of the ocean (especially great during sunset) and […]
Review: Southern Sun the Cullinan
This is quite an elegant beautiful property – those were our first words when we walked into the Southern Sun The Cullinan hotel. It is traditional and colonial in style with furnishings that look quite new. Reminded us of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore (which invented the famous Singapore Sling drink). It is located conveniently […]
Review: O on Kloof Hotel Cape Town
We did not know what to expect when showing up to this hotel in the Bantry Bay beach neighborhood of Cape Town. We were overwhelmed from the moment we walked onto the property. It is a small 8 room intimate property that feels very homely yet modern and luxurious. A small waterfall greets you as […]
Review: African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel (Cape Town)
We arrived in Cape Town on a Friday evening and immediately checked into our hotel. The hotel is a boutique in style but owned by a large corporate brand (Marriott). The lobby on the 2nd floor sits in a 8 floor tall lobby, with a restaurant and modern decor. The hotel is located in the […]
Review: Hyatt Regency Johannesburg
The hotel is located about 25 km from the airport and we were offered transportation by the hotel, but elected to take an Uber instead. We had arrived a few hours before check in and were given access to the showers in the hotel spa as well as the spa pool, which was quite a […]
A Few Months Away
When my roommate left last week, it felt weird. It was sad too, but I knew why it would be sad, we are living with different friends next year, so we won’t see each other as much, but this year we knew everything about each other, that’s a funny thing. I watched her stuff get carted […]
LEMONADE
A track-by-track review (of just the music, but the visuals are pretty damn stunning) Pray You Catch Me– Beyonce comes out strong with this haunting song that started off reminding me lowkey of AHS Coven. The vocals are stunning, and it is a great opener that tells listeners how Bey has grown suspicious of her […]
The Same Five Clubs
Up and Down. Lavo. 1Oak. Avenue. The Highline Ballroom. When I first started clubbing, I felt like we would just go to the same 5 popular clubs, but in reality, there’s probably at least one that I’m forgetting-just remembered, it’s Le Souk. It’s easy to forget to add that one other place where some girl spilled something on […]
PH-D
Last week I went to 1Oak for the first time. I had heard so much about it and I had been to neighboring clubs, so I was pretty excited. I’ll admit I had a pretty good time. They actually had space to dance, which some clubs don’t seem to care about as they just want […]
