Groot Constantia wines are fabulous. Without sounding too<br />
cliché, or like one of the ladies who lunch on the Upper East Side of<br />
Manhattan, enjoying an exceptional glass of wine alongside a<br />
delicious serving of mussels in Masala lentil cream should be the<br />
way we lunch everyday. Life is too short for bad wine and bad lunch<br />
dates - that much I’ve learned!<br />
tein on offer, i could not resist indulging in<br />
the buffet. The protein, either beef fillet or<br />
Kingklip fillet, is cooked to your specification,<br />
on an open fire, while you fill your plate<br />
with all the lovely side dishes on offer. i decide<br />
on the Kingklip, as i am on the brink of<br />
the ocean, after all.<br />
My plate is full of hearty vegetable dishes,<br />
fresh, organic salad and a perfectly cooked<br />
fillet of Kingklip. Paired with a perfect<br />
chenin Blanc - thanks to the recommendation<br />
of the highly competent waiter - my<br />
meal is one i savour, as i once more reach<br />
for my phone to take pictures, much to the<br />
dismay of my girlfriends, drooling at their<br />
phone screens as they tell me how jealous<br />
they are.<br />
But alas, the evening’s meal is not done. i<br />
venture back into the quaint and cosy dining<br />
room, where a spread of drool-worthy<br />
desserts have just been laid. chocolate<br />
mousse, malva pudding and fresh fruit<br />
adorn the tables and with a deep breath, i<br />
indulge.<br />
after gathering myself - and adjusting my<br />
high-waisted skirt - i retreat back to The Bay<br />
Hotel, ready to get into some loose fitting<br />
clothing and into bed.<br />
as i drift off into a slumber on my wonderfully<br />
fresh Queen-sized bed, i start to reflect<br />
on my wonderful stay in camps Bay. Have i<br />
reached Nirvana? Did i find the crown<br />
Jewel of cape Town? i think so. and i immediately<br />
check my calendar to see when i<br />
can return to this little piece of heaven.<br />
My final morning in camps Bay arises with<br />
a sense of intense satisfaction and sorrow,<br />
as i realise i have to leave this beachfront escape.<br />
The hotel staff at The Bay Hotel are<br />
friendly and accommodating, and it makes<br />
me feel as though i’m saying goodbye to<br />
old friends.<br />
as i wait for my Uber to arrive to take me<br />
home, i once again gasp at my surroundings:<br />
sitting on the deck at The Bay Hotel,<br />
