I loved the arty décor touches and the hand-chosen artwork, which all enhance the space, giving it a sense of warmth and style. The bedroom is elegantly furnished and the bed was super comfy, which in my opinion is a very important factor, when selecting accommodation!

The Verge Aparthotel

Our apartment had balcony with an amazing view of Lions Head! The balcony area is equipped with a patio table and chairs, as well as a gas braai if you are keen to embrace your inner braai-master!

The complex lies just one block away from the iconic Sea Point promenade, with a selection of excellent restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail bars and eateries found within walking distance. Early evening we decided to walked down to the promenade and watch the sun set. Naturally this had to be done with a delicious Italian ice cream in hand. En route back to the apartment we picked up a few breakfast supplies at Woolworths and then stopped off at Simply Asia for a takeaway dinner.

The Verge Aparthotel

Both Grant and I really enjoyed our stay at The Verge Aparthotel Sea Point! The location is perfect and we both loved the convenience of being able to walk down to the shops, as well as the promenade. It is also a mere 5 minute taxi trip to V&A Waterfront and within easy reach of Camps Bay or Clifton beach. For those travelling on business, the Cape Town International Convention Centre and CBD are equally close by.

Open Door Restaurant

I was delighted when I heard that Open Door Restaurant, at Constantia Uitsig, had introduced a breakfast menu. Going out for breakfast on the weekend has always been something of a family ritual, and I love finding new places to try! [Read more…]

Dash Restaurant and Bar {Review}

Restaurant Reviews Dash Restaurant and Bar

Grant and I recently found overselves at Dash Restaurant and Bar for a romantic lunch! With life being so busy, it is not something we get to do very often but it was complete bliss.

Dash Restaurant and Bar

Dash Restaurant and Bar

You will find Dash Restaurant and Bar in the popular V&A Waterfront, in Cape Town. This hidden gem is tucked away in the unique Queen Victoria Hotel. The five-star boutique hotel, is an intimate space with gorgeous interiors and creative flare!

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

Dash restaurant at the Queen Victoria Hotel, is named after the Queen’s favourite pet. The space however is not what I would describe as cute and fluffy but rather the epitome of sophisticated fine dining. The 36-seater restaurant offers diners an elegant yet relaxed experience, with a touch of drama in the presentation of the well-crafted menu.

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

We started off our lunch with a wonderfully boozy cocktail! Their signature pomegranate cocktail was wickedly delicious. If we did not have to hit the shops after lunch, I would definitely have had two!

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

For starters Grant decided on the Soup of the Day, which happened to be his favourite, a spiced Butternut Soup! The cheesy toasties were perfect for dunking.

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

My starter was a rather colourful Caprese Salad, with a selection of tomatoes and rustic ciabatta croutons. It looked like summer on a plate!

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

I really loved the creative presentation of each dish and Grants main was definitely the dish of the day! The Salmon with Sticky Soy Glazed Fish Cakes and Apple and Mustard Seed Chutney was as beautiful to look at, as it was to eat!

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

My Sirloin Steak, served with textures of mushrooms, sweet and sour cabbage and sweet potato fries was as scrumptious! I particularly loved the earthy mushrooms, which complimented the steak really well.

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

Naturally we could not leave with trying a desert! The Vanilla Créme Brûlee was everything a desert should be, decadent, yet balanced and not too sweet! The shortbread biscuits and tart black cherries were a real treat.

Dash-Restaurant-and-Bar

We both really enjoyed our meal at Dash Restaurant and Bar and were quite sad that it had to come to an end! I know we will definitely be back, maybe for dinner this time or even for a few of their amazing cocktails.

Singin in the Rain splashes into South Africa

Singin in the Rain

I am super excited to share some wonderful news with you! Singin in the Rain will be splashing onto the stage in South Africa, just in time for the festive season!

Singin-In-the-Rain

Singin in the Rain

Singin’ in the Rain, another critically acclaimed, award-winning production direct from London’s West End, will be produced and presented in South Africa by Pieter Toerien.  

Singin-In-the-Rain

After great success in the UK, Singin in the Rain is now touring internationally, with a stellar South African cast. The show is currently playing to sell-out houses in Hong Kong, after wowing audiences in New Zealand, the Philippines and Singapore! Now it is South Africa’s turn!

[wpdevart_youtube]CpXGFf7J-M8[/wpdevart_youtube]

This superb production is sure to delight audiences in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. The stage production is base on the iconic 1952 MGM movie, set in 1927, made famous by Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. Singin’ in the Rain is a brilliant comedy about the film industry, with its egomaniac stars, monstrous film moguls, fickle fans, classic ‘golden-era’ moves and slapstick humour.

Singin-In-the-Rain

The production is packed full of the charm, romance, comedy and tinsel town glamour! It features wonderful tap dancing sequences, with all the well-known songs from the glorious MGM score. The magical Singin’ In The Rain scene, where it rains live onstage, is one of the big highlights of the show. If you are sitting in the front rows {the splash zone} prepare to leave the show a little wetter than when you arrived!

Musical theatre star Bethany Dickson, who hails from Cape Town, stars as the aspiring actress Kathy Selden. Kathy stars opposite Grant Almirall, who makes his debut as the charming Don Lockwood. The cast of 27 includes Steven van Wyk as Cosmo Brown, Taryn-Lee Hudson as Lina Lamont, James Borthwick as RF Simpson, Mark Richardson as Roscoe Dexter and Anne Power as Dora.

I am not sure about you but I am really excited to see the production because I know it is going to be a great deal of fun!

Ticket Sales and Performance Details:

This is definitely a production you do not want to miss – so get in early and buy your tickets now! Singin’ in the Rain will be at the Artscape Opera House in Cape Town, from 11 December 2015 to 10 January 2016. Performances are Tuesdays to Fridays at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 2:30pm and 7:30pm and Sundays at 1:30pm and 6:30pm. There is one 5:00pm show on Sunday 13 December. Tickets cost from R100 via Computicket, 08619158000 or Artscape box office via 0214217695. Block bookings of 20 or more qualify for a discount. For further queries email [email protected]

Please note, the first 3 rows of the stalls (A – C) are designated as the “splash zone” where there is a strong chance of a shower during the show’s big number. To avoid getting wet, please do not select seats in these rows.
