Always Something New From

Creation Wines

THOSE WITH THEIR WINE ORDERS IN THE BAG WILL RECEIVE THEIR WINE DELIVERY FIRST. Order Here. The Creation Tasting Room will be closed until the alcohol ban is lifted. This is being done to minimise risk and relieve pressure on the healthcare system. In the spirit of the season of goodwill the Creation Culinary Team decided to prepare a special teatime treat for our local healthcare workers, sending a message of gratitude, appreciation and solidarity. These gluten-free carrot and oatmeal cookies have a super low GI index and are as healthy as they are scrumptious – carrot cake eat your heart out! A big thank you to the generous Hermanus residents who already joined this initiative. Click here for the recipe, should you decide to do the same or simply want to enjoy a healthy treat at home. At the same time we would love you to share your recipes with us! Healthcare workers, we would value any suggestions from you.

“At Creation our glasses remain half full rather than half empty and we will continue to seek new ways of bringing Creation to you. I want to urge you to stay home and stay safe but do connect with us virtually on any of the platforms below.” Instagram: @creationwines Facebook: @creationwines Twitter: @creationwines

The "Stoepsitters" are all over the moon to finally have their favourite spot back and open for business. New owner Daphne Neethling, together with her husband Mohseen Moosa (also the owners of PaardenKloof Estate and Ecology Lifestyle Farm) took over the Hotel in September 2020 and have worked ceaselessly since then. The Stoepsitters are happy and deeply grateful and impressed!

AVANI LODGE PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE


Avani Private Nature Reserve 1 Hour from Cape Town


EACH UNIT HAS ITS OWN PRIVATE WOOD-BURNING

HOT TUB This very interesting self-catering development hides itself in the fynbos-covered hills and valleys of the Botriver area. Hiking up the hills, the beautiful views extend to reveal an area rich in fynbos, vineyards, olive groves and rolling grazing fields. It is hard to believe that one can exit and escape the hustle and bustle in just one hour’s drive from Cape Town and only seven kilometres from the N2 via the Swartdam gravel road. The accommodation units seem to have risen from the earth like the mushrooms they are aptly named after, as if not to disturb the environment. Each of the cosy and quirky straw-bale and cob rondawels offer a spacious double bed sleeping area, bathroom & shower with a view, kitchenette, basin & toilet and an outside braai.

Be aware of your breathing. Focusing on deep and slow breathing calms the stress responses as the brain receives the signal that you are not in an immediate life-threatening situation.
