Describe your ultimate night out?
Dinner and the theatre Jozi or Market. Then drinks at Saints before heading home.
Where can we find the best cup of coffee?
I love this cute little eatery Kweekhuis in Centurion.
What is your favourite local store?
Ntozinhle in Soweto. Tshepo in Hyde Park. Although not a store, The Manor at 44 Stanley. They sometimes host designer pop ups and you find the loveliest rarest gems. Love it
Favourite spot for a date night?
Le Creatifs in Sandton. The menu is always so inspired and I love how intimate it is
Your favourite adrenaline packed activity is?
I’m unfortunately not much of an adrenaline junkie. Not to sound too boring but I prefer my feet on the ground. I did go bungee jumping at the Soweto Towers a few years ago. A one time event for me.
What I really enjoyed was flower picking at Adene’s. It’s a pick-your-own flower farm in Irene centurion and they have the most stunning flowers. Rows and rows of dahlias, hydrangea and so many more. It was such a lovely day out with a lovely bouquet at the end of it.
Where is a must visit place for a first-timer?
Food I Love You kitchen at Constitution Hill. The food is always outstanding while the space is just so welcoming.
The history and heritage of Constitutional Hill combined with a thoughtful and delicious menu is such a winning combo. It wins me every time
