Every full moon we walk to the top of Lions Head. It’s a part walk, part climb and we invariably return once the sun’s set and the full moon risen, so the journey down can be quite interesting. The view from the top is spectacular. I often sit here high above the city and watch the late night flights to Europe carving their way through the thick, liquid purple sky, happily accepting that they’ve left me here.

don't miss out on the mandazi

Delicious drinks, nice courtyard, good music. 

New Harbour, is a craft distillery, run by the amazing due Nic and Andri Janeke. They will not only serve you the best Gin in Cape Town, but will also make you feel happy and at home. You have to try their Vodka, Rooibos Infused Gin and Spekbook Gin, honestly my favourite Gin on the planet.

A Parisian-style bar with a light, cafe mood during the day and a vibey music-filled bistro spot by night.
