Winter Warmers.
Mid winter and the Karoo is a gem waiting to be visited, definitely the secret season. Warm sunny blue skies during the day although chilly at night. Our Winter Warmer accommodation special is just the trick for a weekend getaway for two, or a school holiday outing family of four. Our cottages have wood burning fires, heated rooms and hot water bottles. The accommodation offer, valid till end August, is a two night, half day cooking class or Foodie Tour inclusive with our cookbook.
Mid June 16-20 June, sees the Prince Albert Open Studios. A perfect chance to see the homes and studios of the towns numerous artists and enjoy new group exhibitions at both galleries. Join us on our lawn or the verandah over the weekend for a Terberdore coffee and cake or slice of quiche for book for a meal at the Chef’s Café.
Cycling
Overseas travel limitations seem to have made Prince Albert an attractive destination for those wanting to go a little out of the way but local. Cycling is taking the town by storm and African Relish has helped two groups arrange their extra mural activities. These have included visits to Weltevrede fig farm, the Prince Albert Olives olive press and an arranged cook-off at our cooking school which proved to be a highlight for all. Group arrival and departure dinners bookended the tours and we look forward to hosting more in the future. Talk to virna@africanrelish.com for a custom made itinerary.
