One of the last few days of our month in the South of France, brought us to the most gorgeous little seaside town on the Med – Cassis. Pic taken from PopYaCollar – (featured in Marie Claire) Wikipedia tells us: Cassis (French pronunciation: [kasi, kasis]; Occitan: Cassís) is a commune situated east of Marseille in […]
First it was Green Market Square, and now it’s the V&A Waterfront. Yes, ladies and gents, we’re talking about free Wi-Fi. We recently ran a story on Skyrove’s offering of free Wi-Fi in Green Market Square, Cape Town. Things have developed ever so slightly.
While we wait for our winning lottery numbers to come in, it’s nice to know that you can still live the holiday on your own terms. Choose the place, choose the time, and live the holiday whenever it suits you! I received an update of the new 2oceansvibe Villas properties and I must say, they […]
Ok gang, seriously – we need your help! As you know, the Cape Royale hotel has been my primary residence for over a year now. It is part and parcel of the vibe and, as with all things part and parcel of the vibe, they get our full support at all times. Because if it […]
Yesterday was exactly one year since we published the now famous Cape Town Waterfront iStore article.

Look, I’m certainly not distraught at being “stuck” in Provence for the next month, but I am somewhat “irked” that I am missing out on the winter specials going on at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel! In particular, at1800 Restaurant and Equinox spa! So I thought I better pop them up here for […]
My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]
I simply cannot carry on much longer without doing a post about this goddamn volcano. When I first heard about it I thought I would tip-toe around the issue and wait for it to go away. But then it got worse. Then flights were cancelled. Then everyone was talking about it. Then my own friends […]
I just got my latest issue of Car Magazine in the post and spotted the all-new Jaguar XJ on the cover. Jeepers, but that is a beauty! The Cape Royale has been driving me around in the XF which has been an absolute dream, but I must say I wouldn’t mind an upgrade, if there’s […]
Word on the street is that a valet attendant employed by the four star Grand Daddy on Long Street may have allegedly abused his position last Saturday night. And when we say “abused his position”, what we really mean to say is “stole a Grand Daddy client’s Mini Cooper Sport, and wrecked it Jub Jub […]
By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]

I’ll get straight to it, so listen carefully – if you deposit £40 or more into your lottery account, you will automatically stand in line to win a VIP trip to the 2010 Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2010 . But WAIT, they will double your deposit at the same time (£80) and you get to […]
Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]
If you’re a babe then you’re about to find parking a whole lot easier at the V&A Waterfront! And if you’re a minger, you better hope you’ve got a child with you, otherwise you’re gonna have to park at the back. Check out the new markings at the V&A Waterfront: BEWARE.. “Sorry madam, but we’re […]
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]

A movie script of this nature would never get passed as it’s just not that believable. Well, believe it my friend! This has just happened! Dubai, the global symbol of greed and the embodiment of karma itself has been dealt another blow, this time in the form of a leak – in the Dubai Mall’s […]
You will recall the other day we mobilised the troops and asked you to head through to Food24 and vote for Lee Ann and Kirsten in the “Hot Chef” competition. This is the vibe we went for: Oh my goodness look at this! Kirsten and Lee Ann, our little spunks from Miss K Food Cafe […]
Cape Town comedian, Paul Snodgrass has just returned from a week or so in the US, during which he attended the Dallas NBA AllStar game. That’s pretty big.. Let’s check it out: I have just got back from the NBA Allstar game in Dallas, jet lagged beyond belief. What a trip though. Here are some […]
I checked out Jack Parow this weekend at the Ultimate-X games on Saturday. It was so sick. There were millions upon millions of skate rats and BMX bandits everywhere! The Cape Royale concierge dropped us off in the Jaguar. and we blended RIGHT in – thanks to my Wolverine T-shirt! Instant respect in any skate-park […]
Wonderful individual we have here before us. One Michael Carroll, of Norfolk, UK, won 9.7 million Pounds in a European lottery. The former dustman blew the lot, since the 2002 windfall. It’s a stunning path of destruction which ended with Michael currently putting his mansion on the market to scrape up some change – for […]
We had an absolute blast yesterday at the Waterfront as the likes of District 9’s Vanessa Haywood, Just Jinjer’s Ard Matthews and scores of fans surrounded Bob’s wooden cage, as Ard serenaded him with their latest single, Milk & Honies. The performance was broadcast live streaming on 2oceansvibe and a big thanks goes out to […]
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]

Roger Federer stands next to Australian Open loser, Andy Murray Federer 16, Murray 0 – That is the current grand slam scoreboard between Roger Federer and Andy Murray, after Federer dispatched the Scot in Sunday’s Australian Open tennis final. But I thought this was Andy’s year? Lift him. Lift him high. Then disappear when he […]
We have documented proof from all over the world, of prawns wearing their cycling helmets indoors. Venezuela is no different, my friends. Just because you go abroad, doesn’t mean these attacks will stop. This recent account from a 2oceansviber tells a sad tale, as we witness the carnage occurring across the globe. When will it […]
