Renovating your house

When it comes to home renovations, the task can be a big one. There are some variables you'd need to consider, like whether you'd prefer to outsource the load to an experienced property agency or go the route of micro-managing a handful of sub-contractors.

It's an important decision, but ultimately in my experience, I would advise anyone to opt for the former option. Choosing a reputable property agency with a good track record will save you time and money - seriously.

What to do at the V&A Waterfront

One of South Africa's top attractions is the V&A Waterfront. A favourite amongst locals and tourists alike, the V&A Waterfront has a wide range of activities for you to - beyond simply shopping and eating!

If you're looking for off-beat activities to do at the Waterfront, you have plenty of options, from embarking on a sunset cruise to having a manicure at the Craft and Wellness Centre.

Safety and Cover

Getting yourself covered has to be one of the most fundamental and necessary financial moves we all need to make at one point or another. It's part of growing up, most of us have to take over from our parents and this surely is a part of every responsible adults duties.


So I have now decided to look into it myself and find something affordable to at least give me some peace of mind. After looking into it I've decided to take out car insurance and life cover. Even cheap car insurance just to cover the basics will do.

Southern Suburbs - Property Booms!

Comprising of Rondebosch, Claremont, Plumstead, Ottery, Wynberg, Newlands, Constantia and Bishopscourt and situated on the lush Southeast slopes of Table Mountain, the Southern Suburbs is renowned for its vast expanses of verdant valleys and fragrant vineyards. And while it has been identified as one of the more affluent areas in the Western Cape, things have changed in recent years with the influx of young professionals and students.

Now, the area boasts an eclectic mix of starving university students, white collar professionals and wealthy families and has become a hub of social activity. As a result, the demand for expensive Newlands properties and more affordable Claremont properties has increased dramatically, and shows no signs of slowing down. Upton Properties is a revered real estate agency which has taken advantage of this area's popularity and focuses almost entirely on property in the Southern Suburbs.

Knysna Highlights

Knysna is a gem on the Garden Route and is flanked by George and Plettenberg Bay. The town resides neatly on the outskirts of the Knysna Lagoon and is surrounded by mountains that are home to the notorious Knysna Forest.

The area has an incredibly laid back atmosphere and serves as both a permanent and holiday address for many locals and tourists. It is popular for its annual Oyster and Pink festivals and is a hub of activity all year round. The Knysna Heads are especially well known and many restaurants can be found close to them, offering sprawling views of the ocean.

The lagoon is great for paddling and Thessen Island sits snug in the middle of this lagoon. The Island boasts many of the best restaurants and residencies in Knysna. While Thessen island and Knysna as a whole are a hub of actvity, the atmoshpere is quiet and laid back. However, if you require even more solice, then retreat to the Knysna Forest to enjoy an elephant experience. Alternatively, take on the Pezula Golf Course and let off some steam on the 18 holes.

Knysna also has plenty of markets offering local creations, food and other curiosities. Of course, no tours to Knysna would be complete without the taste of a few oysters, festival or not.
