At Just 2 Hours’ Drive – Surely ‘Grootbos’ Is The Greatest Weekend Away From Cape Town?
16 May 2013 by Evan Alexander / No Comments
The world of luxury travel is often scorned. This is usually due to a bumbling jealousy from bottom feeders, or on the flip side, by the ‘learned,’ due to the pretense and opulence that many sought-after destinations are infamous for. In short, it is a very difficult concept to get right.

20 Dec 2012 by silverstreak / No Comments
Oe, now here’s a treat. We’ve long been fans of the Westcliff suburb of Johannesburg, with it’s rose quartz outcrops and shady, solid jacaranda trees dotted about the sloping hillside.

House Of The Week: 4-Bedroom Constantia Estate Is Your Small Kingdom

Just take it all in. You could command an empire from these grounds. And what’s the going rate for your own principality? Obviously the current owners were brought up with solid breeding, because they think it’s rude to set a number that large in writing. The price is POA. But then, price doesn’t ever really [...]

AWESOME Idea, Private Air Travel For Everyone!
23 Aug 2012 by Albi P / 2 Comments
Flying is a nightmare, or rather, the facilities surrounding flying are a nightmare. Checking in two hours prior to your flight, going through the entire security rigmarole which sees you unpacking half of luggage and then having to squeeze it back in, and then rushing onto an overcrowded airplane only to wedge yourself in between an overweight, nervous flyer and a hyperactive five-year-old first timer. Seems like there should be an easier solution, and now there just might be.

Massive Pink Diamond Found In Australia
24 Feb 2012 by Simon Gerber / No Comments
Diamonds are one of the world’s great fascinations. They enchant, mesmerise and sparkle. Nothing quite says “piss off, I’m rich” like a big rock.

Approximately valued at $1 billion, and considered one of the most expensive private residences in the world, what’s wrong with it?
