Things to do in Stellenbosch, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
On our very first trip to South Africa we spent one day in Stellenbosch where we did a wine tour and hit up a total of 5 wineries. It was an action packed day but we knew we had only seen a fraction of what this place has to offer and we were itching to return! Fast forward two years, and we found ourselves with an invitation to come and experience Stellenbosch, this time with a week to spare. Naturally we said yes! This being the winelands meant that our itinerary was wine heavy, but we also got to see sample the food, visit the markets, check out the nightlife and get close to nature. The following is our travel guide to Stellenbosch, pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and join us on this ride!
In between all the feasting and vineyard hopping, we also found a bit of time to explore Stellenbosch itself. Stellenbosch is a charming town located in the Western Cape, and it’s the second oldest European settlement in the province after Cape Town. The streets are lined with oak trees, the buildings are all painted white, and you have a cool mix of Early Cape, Cape Dutch, and Victorian architecture.
And while Sam was off hiking, I did a biking tour of Stellenbosch with the Adventure Shop, where I learned a bit more about the town’s history, and got out in nature, before biking over to the Lanzerac Wine Estate where we met up with the group again. Here we had a light lunch featuring a spread of cheese, deli meats, fresh fruits, and of course, wine!
And just like that our week in Stellenbosch was over! I think it’s fair to say that we left a few pounds heavier, but with a newfound appreciation for South African wine and a taste of what the winelands have to offer. As always, we hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Stellenbosch. If you have any other suggestions of cool things to see, eat, or experience, feel free to share those with travellers in the comments below. In the meantime we wish you happy travels and we’ll see you in Cape Town on our next video!

Cape Town/Kaapstad/iKapa city tour (South Africa)
(EN) Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad [ˈkɑːpstɐt]; Xhosa: iKapa) is the second-most populous city in South Africa after Johannesburg, and the provincial capital and primate city of the Western Cape. As the seat of the National Parliament, it is also the legislative capital of the country. It forms part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. The city is famous for its harbour as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Cape Town is also Africa's most popular tourist destination.
Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was originally developed by the Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships sailing to Eastern Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa. Today it is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa. As of 2011 the metropolitan region had an estimated population of 3.74 million.
(AF) Kaapstad (Engels: Cape Town, Xhosa: iKapa) is saam met Pretoria (die uitvoerende hoofstad) en Bloemfontein (die geregtelike hoofstad) een van die drie hoofstede (as wetgewende hoofstad) van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika en setel van die parlement. Dit is ook die administratiewe en parlementêre hoofstad van die Wes-Kaap en die tweede grootste stad in Suid-Afrika. Sy lughawe is die tweede grootste in die land.
Kaapstad lê aan die suidpunt van Afrika en word ook die Moederstad van Suid-Afrika genoem. Die stad is oorspronklik as 'n verversingspos vir Nederlandse skepe op pad na Oos-Afrika, Indië en die Verre Ooste aangelê. Dit was ook een van die eerste permanente Europese nedersettings suid van die Sahara. Hier is waar die leier van die Goringkhoina in 1652 met die Hollanders van die Verenigde Oos-Indiese Kompanjie (in destydse Nederlands: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC) kontak gemaak het.
Van 'n klein hawe het Kaapstad vinnig tot die grootste stad in Suid-Afrika ontwikkel, wat eers met die goudstormloop aan die Witwatersrand in die jaar 1887 deur die nuwe stad Johannesburg verbygesteek is. Nogtans huisves Kaapstad volgens die sensus van 2001 met 1,2 miljoen mense die grootste Afrikaanssprekende gemeenskap van enige stad in Suid-Afrika.
Kaapstad is danksy sy natuurskoon en sy ligging aan die voet van die wêreldbekende Tafelberg vandag een van die mees gesogte internasionale toeristebestemmings en 'n gunstelingstad van die internasionale rolprent- en advertensiebedryf.
(F) Le Cap (Kaapstad en afrikaans, Cape Town en anglais, iKapa en xhosa) est une ville d'Afrique du Sud, capitale de la colonie du Cap (1652-1910) puis de la province du Cap (1910-1994). Elle est actuellement la capitale provinciale du Cap-Occidental.
Depuis 1910, Le Cap est également la capitale parlementaire du pays aux côtés de Pretoria (capitale administrative) et de Bloemfontein (capitale judiciaire).
La ville du Cap, fondée en 1652, est considérée comme la cité-mère d'Afrique du Sud. Ville la plus australe du continent africain, elle est établie sur les rives de la baie de la Table et est surmontée par la Montagne de la Table coiffée de deux pics nommés Lion's Head et Devil's Peak. La ville a été baptisée en référence au Cap de Bonne-Espérance situé à plus de 47 km au sud de son centre historique. (Wikipedia)

Caesarstone Kitchen of the Year 2015 Episode 1
Eight designer-homeowner finalist pairs have been selected in the Caesarstone Kitchen of the Year competition, placing them in the running to win two R50,000 cash prizes.
Bradley van den Berg (executive producer of The Expresso Morning Show), Bielle Bellingham (editor of Elle Decoration), Beth Haynes (two-time former winner of the Caesarstone Kitchen Designer competition), Mor Krisher (head of product design for Caesarstone International) and celebrity chef Reuben Riffel convened in Cape Town to select the top eight kitchens out of 127 entries in a blind judging process.
Kitchens from all over South Africa featuring Caesarstone surfaces, and installed in the past 18 months, were eligible to enter the competition. Finalists were selected based on photographs and plans supplied by entrants, identifiable only by a number given to each entry. “The judges have absolutely no idea who designed or owns each kitchen entered,” says Caesarstone South Africa’s advertising manager, Lisa Aspeling. “It was a very exciting process to observe the judging team narrowing down the field of entrants in such a tough competition,” she says.
Caesarstone is proud to announce the eight finalists of the Caesarstone Kitchen of the Year competition:
Albert & Natalie Wessels; Tamara Karstens of Spotlight Kitchens
Andrea Neer & Mariaan van Zyl of Espresso Design
Mampho Majola; Shiku Kiarri of Sterlings
Tom Creamer; Adolf Conradie of Optima Kitchens
Christo & Irene De Wet; Adolf Conradie of Optima Kitchens
Clive Shiller; Charlotte van der Haer of Kitchen Classics
Priya Naicker; Kim Hansen of Kitchen Classics
Diane Heron; Lyall Wilcox of Bristle et Hues
The second round of judging will see the judges selecting their top three kitchens from the group, using video footage to enjoy more in-depth views of each kitchen design. The top three finalists will be invited to the awards ceremony in November at Tokara Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, when the winning kitchen will be announced. The winning homeowner and designer will win R50,000 each, while each of the top three finalists will take home an exciting hamper from KitchenAid.
“Our judging panel is incredibly diverse, with each one of the judges bringing their own special angle of expertise to the competition,” says Caesarstone South Africa marketing director, Trevor King. “Caesarstone is proud to be sponsoring the competition and helping to support local kitchen design excellence,” he says.
The Caesarstone Kitchen of the Year competition will be broadcast in an insert series on The Home Channel starting 22 September and will run for 10 weeks, with episodes available on Youtube and other social media channels. Episodes 2 to 9 will feature an in-depth look at each of our 8 finalist kitchens.
Keep watching The Home Channel on DSTV (channel 176) to catch weekly episodes.

Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.

Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town.

The Wedding of Luc & Mari Lenferna de la Motte
The Cape Winelands unveiled the union of Luc Lenferna de la Motte and Mari Hansen at Rickety Bridge Winery on 5 March, 2016. Nestled at the base of the majestic Franschhoek Mountains overlooking the lush green vineyard vistas the historic Cape Dutch Manor House formed the romantic, picturesque stage for the internationally acclaimed couple to say their vows.
The gorgeous two met in January 2013 and travelled the globe together in inseparable unison, with a subsequent proposal two years later in March 2015. Luc, 27, a qualified and practicing equity analyst-come-model of Mauritian-French decent, has featured in numerous leading local and international magazines including GQ and Men’s Health (cover model in both France and Netherlands) as well as representing a plethora of renowned brands including Fabiani, American Swiss and Tom Ford, to name a few.
Now 23, Norwegian born and raised model, Mari too has been featured in the world’s leading magazines including Vogue (Portugal & UK), ELLE (UK, Portugal, SA & Norway), Marie Claire (UK, Spain & SA), Cosmopolitan (UK & SA), Glamour (SA), Grazia (SA), ID Magazine (UK), Harpers Bazaar (Spain & Turley) and Spur (Japan); having also featured in campaigns for brands such as Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Bally, and Puma.
The fun-loving, quirky couple dreamed of having a Cape Winelands wedding which their French and Norwegian families could come together for, in celebration not only of their unity but also to fully experience the magic of the newlywed’s new home base, Cape Town, South Africa. Their brief was rustic elegance, a vision suited ideally to Rickety Bridge Winery and sister neighbour estate, Basse Provance, where the couple’s families stayed.
“It was an absolute honour to have been invited to conduct Luc and Mari’s wedding. They are simply the most lovely and exciting couple to ever work with! I was awash with excitement and brimming with beautiful ideas when they asked me. I knew right away that the wedding had to be conducted at Rickety Bridge,” Says Event Organiser, Jade Allen of Red Carpet Concepts.
The lavish flower arrangements throughout the venue were curated by the incredibly talented Lindie du Plessis of Fynbosch Florist, including the exquisite succulent-filled glass espresso cup wedding favours. The bride and her bridesmaids’ bouquets, though, were put together by the bride’s mother, a Norwegian florist, adding a flair of Norwegian elegance to the retinue. The Durbanville-based florist (Fynbosch) sews South Africa’s magnificent and unique indigenous flora through her floral decorations, ideally fitting to a true showcasing of our country’s natural beauty, particularly for those visiting from abroad.
Luc and Mari’s bespoke wedding was characterised by a juxtaposition of extravagant clusters of crystal chandeliers and layers of light offset against the thatch roof inside the reception area and massive age-old oak trees outside encompassing the ceremony lawns. The ceremony space was clad with loungey picnic pockets and outdoor games, complimented with views across the Franschhoek valley and a live music performance by Amy Tjasink and her band, Nash Music, to set the mood.
The perfect play of natural materials and tones contrasted seamlessly with the fine crockery and silverware adorning the tables; the elaborate decor concept drawn together by Allen and To-Netts Decor and Event Hiring’s Director, Anton van Zyl.
