Biggest weed found!

Here at Medindi Manor we are passionate about our garden and we try our very best to keep it looking absolutely beautiful for all our guests. However, it seems that one particular weed has kept itself very well hidden for far too long and thanks to Kyle, that weed has been kicked out at long lost! Look how HUGE it is!

Kyle, owner of the beautiful old Victorian Boutique Hotel, visits Medindi Manor during summer time and enjoys spending a lot of time in the garden. Kyle certainly has the greenest fingers I have ever seen as everything he plants, grows! Kyle knows plants and knows what to plant where and with what. He has mastered the techniques, that's for sure.

My passion for gardening came when I was 12 working in my mom's garden and I enjoyed it so much I kept doing it ever since, says Kyle.

Medindi Manor on top of Table Moutain

It was a beautiful day in Cape Town today and a perfect day to go to the top of our Natural Wonder of the World!

Kedibone, Ziyanda, Blessings, Betty and myself (Jeanine), went on a trip to Table Mountain and it was a first for most of them! The excitement was in the air and the cameras were out, ready to take lots of pictures. Driving toward the mountain this morning was spectacular, the air was fresh and clear and the mountain was beautiful as always. Ziyanda, Betty and Blessings were taking pictures already barely out of the car. Thanks to online tickets we were good to go straight through and wait for the cable car's doors to open so we can jump in. The cable car ride was fun, Betty had to get use to it at first as it was very weird and scary for her, but we were all there to calm her down. One does not realise how quick the car actually goes up, until you see the little figures down there far below. Once we were out to see the views it was fantastic, we took lots of pictures and it was great to see everyone happy and enjoying the trip. It was quit a walk around the top and with such beautiful warm weather we got thirsty quickly. After spending a few hours at the Mountain, we head down to get something to eat...everyone was craving some chicken and thought KFC would be a delicious choice and for desert it was a yummy ice cream. The day came to an end but everyone is going home with lots of stories and pictures to show and tell their friends and families.
