Some photos of the amazingly beautiful farm Stettyn just outside Villiersdorp. There is so much going on here – from wine to fruit and sheep to grains – and if they weren’t busy enough they also support the local Stettyn school and creche on the farm as well as helping out with leopard tracking projects (sorry, no leopard photos ) and keeping game on the mountain. Phew!

You know when you find a gem –  it doesn’t happen very often and it doesn’t happen very often right on your doorstep! Well I couldn’t be luckier that Just Pure is slap bang in the middle of Hermanus and not off tucked snugly in the middle of Cape Town like the rest of the trendy eateries/ boutiques/ body care emporiums. It’s the place you always want to go for lunch and end up snuffling for hours through their amazing and ever changing range of books, home wares, lotions and potions, babywear and knick knacks. The coffee is organic and freshly ground, the food is totally delicious and oh-so-generously portioned, in fact this could be the ideal place for a long and leisurely lunch with the girl-friends (a big hint to anyone coming through for the Whale Festival!).

So lucky me got luckier when Tamsin Koen (the co-owner and visual genius behind it all) asked me to take some photos for their new website! These are just a few of them – I think my camera may have been smoking by the time I left – soooo much to photograph! Enjoy!
