Like a Tourist @likeatouristza

On Saturday, we had lunch at The Barn which is located on the Rivergate Guest Farm in Stanford. Not only are the prices reasonable, I happened to order the best pork belly, and some miniature donkeys came to visit after our meal 🥰 This is why I keep telling people that small…

For the last two nights, we've stayed at a slice of heaven in Stanford called Rivergate Guest Farm. You're going to thank me after looking through these pics 🥳 Since I'm turning 40 in a few days, Nicole and I decided to spend a few days doing what we love the most and that's…

I've been a big fan of Raka Wines over the years but never managed to stop by their vineyard until this last weekend 🍷 They are located in the beautiful Stanford region which means you get to enjoy their wine alongside the mesmerising views. But don't take my word for it, see…

Took a drive out to Stanford yesterday and I was completely blown away by its beauty 🤯 This is one of those posts where the photos simply won't do Stanford any justice but they will give you a small idea of the beauty 🇿🇦❤️ We've been staying in Pringle Bay for the last week…

We've spent the last week in Pringle Bay which is a small coastal village in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. It's my first time staying here and once you enter Pringle Bay, life slows down completely. So if that's what you're looking for, you will absolutely love it…

The Valley of Desolation in the Eastern Cape is both a geological phenomenon and a unique Karoo landscape that surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet. There is no substitute for what the human eye can see vs. what a camera can capture, but I hope this short clip gives you a small…

I was NOT EXPECTING this 7-course "Karoo Food Experience" on a recent visit to Nieu-Bethesda in the Eastern Cape, but that's exactly what we got at a owner-operated restaurant called Stirlings @ The Ibis. There's no adequate way to describe how fascinating the evening was, so let…

I'm sure I'm not alone but I have a bit of a padstal obsession 🤣 Whenever I'm on a road trip, I always try stop at as many of them as possible to see what it's like inside, what they sell, and what their droëwors and biltong taste like 🧐 One of my favourite padstals to stop at…

This one is different because it's all about small towns in South Africa that deserve more love than they get. That's why I started @likeatouristza in the first place so I'm begging you to take a few minutes and just enjoy learning about your own country❤️ youtu.be/UahWVowKJWo

So many people have written to me to say they've never been to Gariepdam before. So I'm very curious, have you been before? If so, how long did you stay for and what did you think? I went from never having stayed in Gariepdam to visiting four times in the last six months. It's…

After six weeks of editing, our latest video is up on YouTube and it's all about the many small towns that people often drive through but rarely stop to explore in detail. Our hope is that people visit these wonderful small towns on their next road trip! youtu.be/UahWVowKJWo

On Sunday, we visited a boutique restaurant and vineyard between Knysna and Plett called @LukaVineyards. If you're ever in town, I'd like to share with you why you absolutely have to visit. First of all, the setting is absolutely beautiful. You can either sit inside their cafe…

Have you guys seen the group on Facebook called "Small Towns South Africa"? I have no direct affiliation to it but it's brilliant. Started by a guy called Ron Mackenzie. In just a few months, the group is already on 122k members and it's a wonderful highlights package of this…

I keep telling anyone that will listen that the soul of South Africa resides in its small towns. So often we drive through these towns without stopping to experience how amazing they are. At the beginning of 2023, my team and I did a road trip to Sedgefield in the Western Cape…

Knysna holds such a special place in my heart and my Schatz has never been here before so we just had to pop in for the Easter weekend. It's been an incredible few days back in town. The @likeatouristza journey began in Knysna and I've been giving Nicole a personal tour as we…

Just want to plug and give a shoutout to a fabulous Indian restaurant in Kloof Street (Gardens, Cape Town) called Vadivelu. We had a fabulous date night there last night, the food was incredible, and the staff were so friendly. This 8-month old "Indian With Attitude" restaurant…

Our Sun City video just became our first YouTube video to break 200,000 views 🥳 And it's done so in 6 weeks 🤯

It's been five weeks since my last walk on the Sea Point promenade and I can't tell you how much I've missed watching the sun set in my favourite city in the world! Only this time around, I don't have to send pictures and videos to my Schatz because she's right next to me ❤️

No trip to Hermanus is complete without a visit to Creation Wine Farm which is nestled in the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley which is just a 20min drive from the centre of Hermanus. At @creationwines, you'll get the best of both of a tasting room that is elegant and expansive…
