Tourism Month Day 1
On Day One of Tourism Month I put art on my empty walls. It was time to start filling the void. It was Spring Day. It was Hermanus Art Walk. And Leon Muller of Art Thirst had an auction. It was time…
De Kelders Fantasy Garden #TourismForAll
I’ve said it before and we all know… Sometimes its the little things in life that makes the difference. The things that don’t come with a price tag. Just beyond Stanford and before you get to Gansbaai on the Cape Whale Coast there is a little bit of magic for all to see. In De… Read More De Kelders Fantasy Garden #TourismForAll
Hemel-en-Aarde Rhone Blends #TourismForAll
Hemel-en-Aarde is mainly known for Pinot Noir. The Cape winter demands something bigger, something bolder. Step in Rhone blends. A combination of the Rhone varietals: Syrah/Shiraz for colour and darker fruit flavours, Grenache for aging ability, Mourvedre for structure, Viognier for aroma and Cinsault for softness. Voila! You have red perfection ready for slow sipping. The dramatics… Read More Hemel-en-Aarde Rhone Blends #TourismForAll
Turn the Music UP
Encouraged by the #TourismForAll campaign to discover tourism opportunities in my neighbourhood I explored the potential of music tourism on the 7th day of September – Tourism Month. Sometimes opportunity for an outing comes from unexpected sources. Listening to a live performance at the local high school is not something I would normally do on a… Read More Turn the Music UP

How to capture the essence of Hermanus with ten themes only? Difficult but a great way to share the Hermanus story in September – Tourism Month. Hermanuspietersfontein is an obvious choice as it was the original name of Hermanus. This was before the local postmaster decided to shorten Hermanuspietersfontein to Hermanus to fit better on the postage stamp. The… Read More Essence of Hermanus Captured in 10 Themes
Day 3 Stanford, #TourismForAll
Let’s go Tourism Month! On 3 September I took the road to neighbouring Stanford. Only a short drive from Hermanus on a country road snug between fynbos-clad mountains and the Kleine River lagoon. With the aim of exploring the tourism treasures on my doorstep Stanford was the perfect destination. It also ticked another box as September is… Read More Day 3 Stanford, #TourismForAll

September is Tourism Month and this year’s theme is “Tourism For All” and promotes universal accessibility. Hermanus First Friday is a monthly… Read More Tourism Month, Day 2 #TourismForAll
Tourism Month, Day 1 #TourismForAll
It’s officially Spring. The weather did not play along on the Cape Whale Coast and Hermanus launched Spring Day with a drizzle. It is also the start of Tourism Month and the international theme is “Tourism For All”. I am putting myself to the challenge of optimising on Tourism Month with daily new and unique… Read More Tourism Month, Day 1 #TourismForAll
