Featuring a wine tasting centre, luxury accommodation, a casual dining eatery, as well as a world-class restaurant where visitors can relax and enjoy fine Cape wines and local Cape fare surrounded by breath-taking views of the vineyards.

https://twoinabush.co.za/ Born and bred in the Franschhoek valley, Two in a Bush Iced Tea Cordial tells the story of two locals, whose friendship came to fruition in a bottle. Creators Marie-Louise Oosthuizen (MBA holder and the face of Café BonBon for many years) and Hetta van Deventer Terblanche a stalwart in the hospitality industry, are a power house force to be reckoned with. The idea sprouted from a Sodastream gift given to Hetta, four years ago. Since mixing and creating cocktails is one of the many talents of Marie-Louise, the Sodastream machine was put to task!

When a friend asked if he…

“The 24th Regiment of Foot had adopted the Sphinx as their Regimental badge after successfully engaging Napoleon along the Nile in 1801. It is almost inconceivable that in January 1879, beneath a mountain looking uncannily like the Sphinx, this famous Regiment would suffer the most ignominious of defeats at the hand of the mighty Zulu Army. Lord Chelmsford split the British force leaving 1800 men in the camp, believing there was no threat. Whilst he was away a Zulu force of 25 000 warriors surrounded the camp, and in under two hours left more than 1 300 British and Colonial soldiers dead.” This unchanged landscape offers the most magnificent canvas onto which to paint this extraordinary story of human struggle and endeavour. In addition, the lessons which emerge for modern…
