Majeka House: Piece of Paradise in Paradyskloof 

In an ideal world, I'd have a medical prescription to visit Majeka House at least once a month. It's essential for my wellbeing, I think. And probably yours too.  The spa, the restaurant, the pocket-sized hotel - heck, even just a glass or two in the glorious M Bar would...

De Warenmarkt Oyster Fest with Free Simonsig Bubbly

Yes, you read that right. *free bubbly*. Actually, they had me at oysters but hey, it's not like free MCC is going to put anyone off, is it? Especially not if that bubbly comes from Simonsig.  *insert praise hands emoji* The charming and lovely folks at De Warenmarkt are hosting an Oyster...
