Western Cape, South Africa

The spiralling form of this South African garden cafe draws inspiration from two sources: the ‘Matjieshuis’ (Mat House) of the San, who first inhabited the Western Cap, as well as the first dwellings of the Dutch settlers, ‘KapHuis’ (Truss House), a cultural hybrid. Matjieshuis were portable, curved, slat-framed structure covered with woven mats, used by San herders as they migrated seasonally with their cattle during precolonial and early colonial times. Meanwhile, KapHuis consisted of A-frame trusses covered with thatch, their interiors lowered to allow for more headroom. Both structures were part of this historical landscape and blended subtly with their surroundings. Now, in the garden context, the ‘mounds’ of the new structures have an uncanny resemblance to the nearby surrounding hills and their intricate, trellis-like extensions further integrate the buildings with the landscape. #southafrica #southafricandesign #landscapearchitecture #residentialarchitecture #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

Cape Town's most beautiful beach sunset! South Africa!! The sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, on the third day in Cape Town, waits for a sunset in the wind!

Its ugly B&B is an old-fashioned landlord to receive, and there is a very cute dog, as long as you see the guests are playing with each other. The landlord led us to visit the house. When I first entered the door, I felt like a picture and description, a very normal house. But when I walked to the second floor, there were many animal specimens hanging on the wall, a deer head that was more than a meter long, a guinea fowl, and a huge antelope in the corner. The old landlord said that these were the spoils when he was hunting in the forest a few years ago and made them into specimens. All of a sudden I think this house is amazing.

CAPE OF ALL GOOD THINGS

Capetown' s beauty lies in it's mountains meeting the ocean and both nestling the city in between.

Whether you are a boho, solo or glam traveller there is something for everyone in The Mother City. #capetown #southafrica #instatravel #beachlife #trip

Driving by the Garden Route is the best way to open South Africa, free to drive on the road, stop when you meet the place you like. Once I happened to see the window driving through a rural winery. At the door was a car-changing commissary, and I stopped to look at it. The goods in the commissary are all the food grown by the manor, or the processed sauce. Dont look at the store, but there are many kinds of products, all of which are original, we have found pure white honey. And South Africa's chili sauce, can be bought for dozens of dollars. The commissary has designed a unique product of the manor, a small doll-shaped plant that grows up, and it can be fed by water, which is very interesting.

Once in South Africa, I tried mountain motorcycles for the first time. Woodland, fields, mountain roads, rushing all the way behind the coach, strong horsepower and the roar of the ground friction, so that every cell is full of passion. After calming down, it was a sore body. Do you have the same feelings?

South Africa is a very warm country, and even in the winter, a simple coat can spend a winter. In the winter in China, it is the summer in South Africa. It is too cold in winter at home. Why not go to South Africa for a warm summer? The climate in South Africa is very mild, and in November it is just the season of wearing a skirt. I went out in the small town of Simon, Cape Town, and went out to the wild. Cape Town has a lot of retro second-hand shops, this dress is found in the second-hand shop, only 45 yuan, rarely wear gray-black, I first fancy, retro The style is exactly the same as that of South Africa.

When I didn't drink red wine, I came to South Africa and fell into the puddle. Every time a friend gets together, they drink, all kinds of dry red, dry and drink a lot of variety, South African wine red Lafite is the favorite, the entrance is full and full, bursts of aftertaste. Fall in love with Cape Town, you only need a moment.
