Leisure Bay

We had the amazing opportunity to stay in an large double storey beach house in Leisure Bay for Christmas 2017.

Right on the beach what more could we ask for? Long walks on the beach, refreshing swims in the ocean and outside candle lit dinners.

One day the weather was not playing ball and we decided to go exploring. That is where we found Beaver Creek in Port Edward, South Coast, KZN. Its a coffee farm and cafe which offers coffee tours, coffee tasting, an opportunity to purchase the farmed coffee and a lovely restaurant. Defiantly recommend that you stop in and check it out the next time you’re in the area.

Christmas Eve dinner consisted of a large family dinner, roast lamb, pumpkin, roast potatoes and for dessert a rich chocolate roulade. We were all very full, festive and excited for Christmas to arrive.

I was awake from 05:30am Christmas morning just waiting excitedly like a kid to open her presents. We all sat down to a decadent breakfast of donuts, apple danish’s and croissants. Soon after,the gifts began  everyone got very spoilt including me.

Unfortunately at about lunch time we had to leave and make the drive to Mooi River in the Midlands. 3.5 hours here we go…..

Mooi River Part 1

And I am on holiday, after a long but successful year.

car is packed and off we go to Mooi River Only a 1.5 hour drive from Hillcrest, to a magical trout farm on the outskirts of the town.

No electricity! Entertainment  that you could find here is the incredible bird watching, fly fishing, scenic runs through the forest and farms which look over Giant’s Castle and drinking, lots of drinking.

I spent my days reading by the water and discussing the crazy year that is about to pass us by. Our evenings were taken up next to the braai with a glass of wine, watching an amazing fire show and listening to the frog choir put me to sleep.

We were only here for two nights but we had great weather and thus began our 2017 festive holidays.
