This is an extract from an article in today’s Scottish Sunday Herald Magazine. We hosted travel writer, Julie Davidson earlier in the year. She is contracted to write a number of articles for various tabloids & travel magazines

“Noordhoek’s other asset is Afton Grove Country Retreat, a peaceful enclave of lush gardens, pretty cottage rooms, farmhouse restaurant and pool, where owners Chris and Louise Spengler are enthusiastic guides to the walks, wildlife and culture of the Peninsula.
The hospitable Spengler’s have invited Cass Abrahams, South Africa’s leading authority on Cape Malay cuisine, to prepare and host dinner. “Cass teaches, writes and broadcasts,” explains Chris. “We want her to teach our kitchen staff how to prepare authentic Cape dishes that we can offer our guests.”
