We all want to go to outer-space and enjoy the stars and planetary eye-candy up there, but there’s a more simple way to get that fix right now.
Looking for something different to do this winter? Whether you’ve been neglecting brandy from your personal drinks menu, or whether you’re an extreme lover of the stuff, The Mount Nelson have created an incredible brandy and tapas pairing to warm up your insides.

This soon-to-be five-star hotel looks like it could be the perfect headquarters for a super villain. With two submerged floors, a sunken lake and an eco-friendly design, this hotel will be amazing.
I have just settled down next to the heated pool. This after a game of tennis, some brekkie and a 10 minute steam followed by a shower. Things could be worse. How other hotels can claim to be 5-stars, I don’t know.
Hitting Europe in early October is like hitting Cape Town in March/April – you miss all the mayhem, the queues, the mad heat, the traffic and the pumped-up season prices. The big gamble is the weather. You’ll more than likely nail it, but there’s a chance it will be miserable. Turns out we nailed it…
Regular readers and 2oceansvibe Twitter followers will be well aware that I only stay at The Westcliff hotel when I’m in Johannesburg.

Please save your ‘holla-caust’ comments for the end of the article. Hotel Stadt Hameln, a four-star hotel in northern Germany, has converted an on-site jail into a themed party location, sort of the way the Nazis converted the jail into a forced labour camp during World War II. Some people are angry about this.

In particular, at1800 Restaurant and Equinox spa! So I thought I better pop them up here for […]
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 […]
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!

Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t.
