Back to Work, Back to Reality: The Priceless Gift of Relaxation

The New Year usually starts in drips and drabs with the first week of January reserved for a handful of sacrificial workers who are sent back at work. Most of them twiddle their thumbs for ten days, jealous as all hell that the rest of the country is still on holiday.

But before we know it, it’s back to the two day break after a five day working week and we all start to look for that little bit of well-deserved personal downtime.

The Elgin Valley is a best-kept secret just one hour out of Cape Town. Think rolling fruit orchards and winelands (and subsequently some pretty fantastic wine), outdoor activities, rumbling tractors ... and tranquillity.

So how about a visit to South Hill with a leisurely wine tasting, a delicious country meal at our restaurant, Gordon Manuel @ The Venue or a weekend stay in luxury at The Guesthouse or The Pumphouse. Whether you’re here for a few hours or a few days, the time away – your time – will help bridge the gap till that next long, lazy holiday.
