Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]
Well I’m still sort of recovering after Friday night’s South African Blog Awards, held at Chevelle club in Cape Town. Well done to the organisers and sponsors (here) on the night and well done to all the nominees and bloggers that made it the success it was. I was also very pleased with […]
With a maximum of 35 degrees today, God couldn’t have chosen a better day for National Cleavage day. Scarlett recognises National Cleavage Day Yes, that’s exactly right! Thank you for that, Scarlett – I think you hit it spot on there! What a great example! As with every National Cleavage Day, the angels […]
I trust everyone has seen the Nando’s ad for Joost? I put it up two days ago (here) and still received it 20 times yesterday in my inbox (could we please address this issue, friends). So anyway, someone has mocked-up ANOTHER Nando’s ad, addressed to Joost van der Westhuizen’s wife, Amor. This one is clearly […]
Jeepers Hudders, some of the okes with properties near The Lookout Deck have done PARTICULARLY well. These houses were once ON the Lookout Deck parking lot, but now, thanks to global warming and excessive flooding (which washed away the entire car park) they have their own private beaches! Shame Small increase in property value […]
With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant. The BI […]
I’m giving these guys a punt because they were put onto me by a friend and proceeded to totally and utterly blow me away. Everyone knows that the entire 2oceansvibe network has NEVER had a reliable cape town panel beater and I honestly think I’ve struck gold. Sorry, WE’VE struck gold! Ok, I had this […]
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]
There is no limit as to how far 2oceansvibe can get, to get the news. That is why we have managed to get hold of some more Peddlars fire pics, including actual inside shots.. Window. Smoke. Firemen According to iafrica: Fire-fighters have been battling to contain a fire that started this afternoon at […]
This is just crazy. I mentioned Constantia’s bastion of all things festive, Peddlars on the Bend for the first time ever yesterday and today the place is burning down! WTF?! More about that as it comes in. Being close friends with the owners of Peddlars, our hearts go out to them and hope this […]
Ok, so here we go. It’s the offer of a lifetime. All expenses paid entry to La Med to watch Goldfish play THIS Sunday night! I know, it’s pretty crazy. Go ahead, pinch yourself! It SAYS 8 February, but it MEANS 15 February! (photo obviously taken by The Photographer) Now, what you have […]
I’m making use of a number of my resources this week. With the help of my friendly Butlers, there will be a number of Knead Love Boxes being sent all over town to some special angels! The contents of the Love Box Knead (Wembley Square – Cape Town) are offering the boxes (with the above […]
See what they did here? 110% ANAL Very good. They sell them (and many other hilarious signs) at that shop next to Miss K in Green Point, by the way. What, you haven’t been to Miss K !? [muffled laughter] Christ, that’s emboerrissing..
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]
It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]
As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]
I’ll be honest, it’s actually 10 at night and I’ve timed this article to come out in the morning, to grace you with more pearls of glory. Good morning! It all started at 1pm, you see. At La Perla. A boys lunch. It was me, “The Big H” and “The Dude” (fresh from his Kika-Sack […]
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]
Whilst the cyclists carry on with their rant, we need to focus on more important things, like the weather. It’s 35 degrees tomorrow!HATING THAT! Hmm… I sense a Caprice lunch coming on.
I popped into Societi Restaurant on Orange Street in Gardens this morning for some creative writing with Iron Mike, and spotted this sign. “It’s a life’s tile“ See what they did there? They took the word “lifestyle” and changed it, to incorporate their product. ‘Cos they sell tiles, you see. So it becomes […]
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]
My GOD, Saturday was a gorgeous day! I cleverly didn’t over-indulge at Asoka the night before, following the launch of the first Luv Sport TV show. A good night’s sleep and a fresh joint (I went for the pinner – three drags and go) ensured maximum enjoyment of the good weather. I had breakfast scheduled […]
I’m incredibly amazed that there are still people out there that are unaware of the availability of these heavenly, ultra luxurious, evil, yet sexual treats. In Cape Town. In GREEN POINT, no less. You do know about Miss K, right? You don’t? [Muffled snigger – Holding fist to tight lipped mouth, eyes wide open, staring […]
I’m spending a bit of time in Claremont today – getting back to my roots and all that. I dropped off my car at Hannibal’s car wash and sauntered into Cavendish Square to find a little spot to write you something titillating; something completely different to what I am writing about now. I wandered around, […]
