Multi-sensory experience

Coffee doesn’t ask silly questions. Coffee understands.

The secret of the strong coffee flavor is hidden in their cast iron roaster and the passion for this delicious “drug of choice” they put in every single cup.

True true truth

Forget love, fall in coffee. We fell!
In the middle of vintage typewriters, sewing machines, candlestick telephones, copper pipes and a huge cast iron roaster drum we tasted a true true coffee. The radically designed steampunk coffee bar "Truth" is for sure one of the places worth visiting.

The king of the party - Meat

'Braaing' is the Afrikaans' word for having a barbecue and you can hear it quite often in South Africa. They even have an annual braai holiday in September. But it’s not only about enjoying delicious food outside your dining room, it’s mostly about getting in touch with your friends and family. Different spices, herbs, sauces, different meat ingredients and side dishes. Recipes are very various. It’s one of those meals that everyone has his own secret for.

#JackassPenguins. You can’t forbid them stop to sit on your beach towel or darting around your legs, because you are the guest here and this is their home.

Jackass penguins

There are not many places in the world where you can enjoy sunny weather, golden sand beaches and get up close with penguins. The African penguins, also known as “Jackass penguins” because of their loud, braying donkey-like call, do not need to worry about freezing temperatures and Antarctic snow. They live in colonies between South Africa and Nambia.
