Into the Wildernis...

I love our weekends, which are supposed to be about work (really!) but then always seem to turn out to be these "going-nowhere-slowly" mini-breaks.

So off we went to the Southern Cape, where JC is developing a piece of land. This area is a favourite of ours, with George, Wildernis, Knysna all being great places to explore. Our special place is definitely Wildernis. With its rugged coastline and beautiful white beach, which stretches out for miles, it makes you gasp ever time you see it.

If you want to splash-out, stay at The Views. And if you want to be close to nature, in a wooden cabin, go for Ebb & Flow. Here you can go for walks, take a canoe out on the river, or just chill on the veranda with a glass of wine.
 

 
 
We also visited the Sedgefield Community Market on Saturday - what a treat! More dogs than people, organic foodies heaven and treasures to be found everywhere - love it.

I discovered Jan Cilliers de Wet, as the artist was in residence at the Market...check out some of his work :)

And do not miss a chance to eat at Pomodoro, a local Italian restaurant in Wildernis. No pretentiousness here, just traditional great food and a festive atmosphere.



So much to discover in this amazing country - cannot wait to go back!
