MORE QUARTERS


 In the last couple of weeks Vesper and I have been busy doing "site inspections" throughout Cape Town and the Eastern Cape....here are a few snapshots from our stay at the MORE QUARTERS

A nice Welcome for Vesper with Alphabet Magnets on the fridge and a box of toys...

Our comfy bed...complete with "Princess" robe and slippers (she wore them to sleep!)


More Quarters has 16 lovely apartments in Gardens and they are perfect for families or for younger guests who like to be walking distance from the "action" on Long or Kloof street!
 
 
 

One street over from the More Quarters is their Boutique Hotel (no children here!) Cape Cadogan! 

Such a lovely "home" feeling.....

Quirky Abode


I love it when I randomly come across interesting "locally made" products/gifts/homeware during my morning wanderings around town....

All of the items on this post were found at Quirky.Me - Abode, a lovely shop in the
OLD BISCUIT MILL.

We should all have lots of CARPE DIEM moments to record!

A collection of postcards.

Retro placemats.

How many times did you need a card like this to give to someone you care about?

Fun baking accessories.....to pimp your home made cookies!

We all need one of these boxes!

And this one!

And what better way to advertise our "beautiful city" !

And....the BEST coffee in town is only a few doors down:
ESPRESSO LAB

      The Old Biscuit Mill- Albert Road,
      Woodstock
      OPEN MONDAY-SATURDAY, not only Saturday!
