Easter holiday: The perfect family destinations

Easter holiday: The perfect family destinations

by Renate Engelbrecht | Feb 7, 2022 | FEATURED POST 2, INTERNATIONAL TRAVELS

I paid a (very) quick visit to @botlierskopgameres I paid a (very) quick visit to @botlierskopgamereserve's spa the other day and while I wasn't able to treat myself to a spa day, I was certainly impressed! 

How beautiful? 

Most of their treatment rooms look out on trees and grassland, and apparently the elephants often pass while guests are lazily drifting in the pool. Imagine!

This is definitely a spa worth adding to your bucket list for whenever you're visiting the Garden Route.

Fashion has a way of showcasing your inner style. Fashion has a way of showcasing your inner style. That's one of the many things I love about it. 

Today, be careful not to merely adapt to the tone in the room. No, be bold enough to set the tone.
