Editor’s Exclusive CLAIRE BARNARDO

Child protection

C

hild Protection Week was from 29 May-5 June, and I believe that looking after our children has to be one of our main priorities in our neighbourhoods.

I spoke with child protection activist, Dee Blackie, recently and she believes that education is one of the best ways to protect our children from violence and exploitation.

As part of this the National Adoption Coalition of South Africa has developed the Courage Child Protection Toolkit

- a community engagement guide that is freely available to download at couragechildprotection.com.

By educating ourselves and getting to know our local police officers, clinic nurses, social workers, councillors and school principals we can become part of the solution.

Let’s work together to ensure the safety of our children.

orget cupcakes and macarons, the latest sweet craze is the humble doughnut. And this trend has taken Cape Town by storm with American chain Krispy Kreme launching its first South African store in the Mother City this month. If you find it hard to get excited about this supermarket staple – however many sprinkles, fillings and toppings you add on – rather seek out an artisanal alternative that has been gathering a cult following over the last few years.

those who are prepared to get up early on a Saturday morning and queue at the Bree Street bakery. We were there for the High Tea doughssant, filled with an Earl Grey custard and topped with a miniature macaron, tiramisu, lemon meringue and lamington – a thing of beauty and over-the-top indulgence.

Made only on a Saturday, each week has a surprise theme and there is never any repetition, so it’s a once-off taste extravaganza with devotees reminiscing nostalgically over their favourites.

A cross between a croissant and a doughnut, the cronut or doughssant is a gloriously decadent ball of freshly made croissant dough, deep fried at precisely the right temperature to balloon up light and fluffy, with a buttery flavour that puts regular doughnuts deep in the shade.

Coimbra in Claremont is the place to sample the essential nature of the cronut, lightly sprinkled with cinnamon sugar without any filling, the perfect treat if you want something light and fluffy without the richness of a full-on dessert. There are also filled cronuts, but they sell out fast, so it’s worth calling and reserving a box.

Cronuts are hard to track down and this adds to the mystique. You won’t find them at any old bakery – only those that make croissants from scratch, so they’ll have fresh croissant dough to play with, making them in limited quantities and selling out fast.

Jason Bakery’s doughssants have become a Cape Town institution among

Schoon in Stellenbosch, home of artisan bread and patisserie, makes enough extra croissant dough every day to spare for a few batches of cronuts, filled with either salted caramel, chocolate, vanilla or lemon.

And those in the Deep South have their own source of decadent delight at the Village Market at Noordhoek Farm Village every Wednesday evening from 5pm. The Foodbarn Deli conjures up a range of cronuts just for the market, lavishly sandwiched with chocolate, cinnamon or vanilla cream mousseline.

Chilling T out at Creation

hat’s what I did with my family recently, dropping our bags at the charming Babylon’s Tower Cottage on the high slopes of the valley. Fynbos walks at Bouchard Finlayson and superb Sauvignon Blanc at eye-catching Ataraxia wine estate were two of the Saturday morning highlights. By lunchtime, however, we had happily settled in at Creation Wines at the northern end of the valley.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the gorgeous scenery surrounding Creation wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley. Throw in delicious cool-climate wines and a range of innovative tasting experiences, and you have a fine excuse for a wintry weekend away WORDS: RICHARD HOLMES IMAGES: SUPPLIED & ISTOCK

SEE FOR YOURSELF: Babylon’s Tower Cottage 028 212 2308 babylonscottage.co.za Creation Wines 028 212 1107 creationwines.com

Back in 2002 owners Jean-Claude and Carolyn Martin converted old pasturelands into fields of flowering fynbos and rows of neatly trellised vines.

The latter giving rise to their superb range of cool-climate wines. As with the rest of the valley, Creation’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are outstanding, particularly the “Art of…” limitededition releases. They’re premium wines with a premium price, but even at a more affordable level Creation over-delivers on quality – the Rhône-style Syrah, delicate Pinot Noir and spicy SyrahGrenache blend are all memorable.

Memorable too are the innovative tasting experiences on offer. No impersonal bar counter and cheap glasses here. Rather expect an elegant tasting room with charming staff and top-notch stemware to match these top-tier wines. Take a seat indoors by the fire, or on the terrace with its charming valley views.

The Creation tasting room and restaurant share the same space, and visitors are encouraged to have a bite to eat while they discover the wines. The winery commissioned bespoke chocolates for the fascinating chocolate-and-wine pairings, while the cheese-and-charcuterie pairings offer up delicious local produce matched with four Creation wines.

Your best bet, though, is the tapas pairing, where each wine is matched to small plates ranging from Malayspiced pickled tuna to slow-braised lamb. For light bites, a range of cheese and charcuterie platters are offered.

Kids aren’t left out of the foodie entertainment either, with a special menu for young ones and the chance to try the kids’ pairing menu.

As the cold front rolls slowly into the Cape, the cosy cottages, fine food and wonderful wines make the Hemel-en-Aarde valley a perfect destination for a winter escape.

Mondiall – a world of food to explore Casual brasserie-style dining WORDS: LAUREN ALBERTYN

IMAGES: SUPPLIED & CLAIRE GUNN

R

ecently, I attended a luncheon hosted by Mondiall Kitchen & Bar for the launch of a new autumn/ winter menu. I’d heard great things about the restaurant, particularly the signature fish tacos dish. So as a part-time pescatarian, full-time hungry person, and first-time diner, I had high expectations.

My dining partner and I were welcomed into the restaurant with a refreshing glass of bubbly and ushered to the outside terrace where we would be dining. The interior is spacious yet cosy, with natural light flooding in highlighting earthy tones and rustic pieces that had recently been added to warm up the space in the colder months. There was a delicate selection of fresh flowers on each table, and it was 23ºC outside, almost a summer’s day, and perfect for dining on the terrace which overlooks the harbour and Table Mountain.

Patrick Symington, the charming host and the owner of Mondiall, arrived and starters were served – a quintet of the shellfish bisque seasoned with fresh herbs and saffron aioli; the roasted cauliflower with cauli­flower cream,

Parmesan, pesto and tomato; and the smoked goat’s cheese parcel filled with caramalised onion and roasted root vegetable, to name a few.

For mains my dining partner decided on the braised beef short-rib with pickled beetroot, cucumber salad and garlic buttermilk. She said the combination was divine. I opted for the seared Norwegian salmon with artichokes, radishes and a chive velouté. The salmon was fresh, soft and vibrant in colour, and subtly seasoned. The chive velouté was creamy and not at all overpowering, while the artichokes and radishes added a lovely crispy texture to the dish.

EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF: Mondiall Kitchen & Bar 021 418 3003 mondiall.co.za

Dessert was a trio of treats. The banana split with caramalised banana, macadamia nuts and maraschino cherries with milk ice cream, the chef’s cheese of the day, and a salted chocolate tart served with créme fraiche – my favourite. The trio was a sweet ending to an afternoon of sublime dining that warrants a return to Mondiall. I must make special mention of Mark, our waiter, who was warm and attentive, as well as compliment chef Stephen Mandes

O

ne of the most noticeable trends in product design for the home at the moment, is reducing forms and silhouettes down to simple geometric shapes. This almost child-like design treatment often veers towards the avant-garde, but the news coming out of the top trade shows internationally is that this trend is poised to break into the mainstream soon.

The thinking behind this trend is that people are tired of overwrought design and bored with minimalism.

This happy medium approach sees creatives combining unusually simplistic forms together in a barebones approach to product design. The Dutch trend guru Li Edelkoort has already flagged the circle as the motif to watch in the coming few seasons, but it seems that they may only be one part of this design aesthetic.

One of the key brands called out for this trend at the recent Salon del Mobile fair was the Italian studio Zanotta. Designs such as the Speed sideboard epitomise this geometric design, with an emphasis on super simplistic forms.

And the trend has filtered into the discerning end of the local market too. The Solar Mirror by Okha, for example, is made up of backlit, overlapping circles and makes for a very contemporary geometric statement piece.

SEE FOR YOURSELF: Okha okha.com Zanotta zanotta.it

This building block minimalism is one of the trends you may not even notice until all of a sudden it’s everywhere.

It’s deceptively simple in its thinking, but with classic and futuristic design references, it’s a perfect fit for people’s tastes in the here and now.

My business neighbourhood Nikki Albertyn makes eye-catchingly beautiful cakes that are customised and baked to order at LionHeart Pâtisserie Studio in Woodstock WORDS: KIT HEATHCOCK IMAGE: SUPPLIED

A

graphic designer working part-time at Zana products (a local lifestyle store with an online platform), Nikki Albertyn leaves her desk at 1pm every day to channel her creativity into her love affair with pâtisserie, cake-baking and decorating in her LionHeart kitchen. She shares premises with Zana products’ new studio in Woodstock.

Q: How did your business start?

A: My keen interest in food led me to doing the part-time, one-year pâtisserie course at Silwood School of Cookery. I discovered an unexplained love for baking.

Pâtisserie is the perfect balance of creativity and skill and gets me so excited. I started to develop the LionHeart brand while studying at Silwood, and working part-time at Zana. With a little help from my boyfriend, who is an ex-web developer, I set up my online store, baked and photographed cakes for my listings, and went live with my site in February this year.

Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop?

A: Zana was looking for a larger space to move into in and around Woodstock. I mentioned that if we found a premises that could accommodate a kitchen, I would love to set one up and contribute to the rent. My decision was determined by where Zana went, as my plan was to do LionHeart half-day and Zana the other.

Q: How did you find your premises?

A: After working with agents and trawling Gumtree to no avail, we came into a bit of luck. Our neighbours were also moving and had already found a new space, which had a huge open space right next to theirs for rent.

Q: What are the shop rental/ sales prices like in this area?

A: It’s generally from about R68/m2 and up. It’s much more affordable than being in town, but Woodstock prices are definitely on the up.

Q: Who are your neighbours?

A: Pete Goffe-Wood’s Kitchen Cowboys is in our complex, Publik Wine, an artist studio, and a beer brewing supply company called BeerGuevara.

Q: Why are the premises ideally suited to your business?

A: My kitchen is inside the Zana studio.

I always have people around that are so supportive of what I’m doing, and there whenever a tasting opinion

is needed! Another great aspect is that I am close to a lot of suppliers – from packaging and decorating material to food supply stores.

Q: What is your shop foot traffic?

A: The area consists mostly of factories and small startup businesses. If people come by, it’s generally because they came looking for you specifically.

Q: Do you have any expansion plans?

A: We want to take LionHeart to markets and grow the brand, with the dream being to open up shop in the CBD one day.

Q: Do you operate online as well?

A: Yes, the Lionheart website is our online store, a platform for customers to pick an existing cake design and customise their flavours. Our marketing is done via Facebook and Instagram. I will almost always get a cake query after posting a pic of an order I’ve made.

Q: What’s your most popular item?

A: My most popular cake by far has been the Astronomica Mini. I think it’s the colours and the playfulness of the cake that captivate people.

Property investment is the biggest game changer in Cape Town’s CBD

P

roperty investment is one of the biggest game changers transforming the Cape Town central city, and so far this year seven new developments or redevelopments have been confirmed, at least three of them with a combined value of some R270m.

The Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID) has published the annual investment guide for the past four years, tracking the growth of various business and leisure sectors, as well as the rise of geographical nodes in the central city.

Commenting on the rise of the

Foreshore node since 2012, the report’s editor and co-author, Carola Koblitz, noted the CCID’s first report recorded an investment value into the area of around R3,2bn, which included the development of projects such as Portside, Touchstone House, 22 Bree, Atlantic Centre, the Civic Centre update and the CTICC expansion.

Koblitz says, “In 2012, we had yet to hear of investments such as Roggebaai Place, 33 Heerengracht, the Media24 upgrade, The Towers redevelopment, the Parkalot building, the upgrade to Southern Sun Water­ front, the KPMG building, the

redevelopment of Triangle House by Signatura, or even the new Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital.

“These developments added almost R4,6bn to our original 2012 figures,” she says.

Overall property values in the CBD have increased substantially.

Rob Kane, chairman, CCID, says, “In 2006, the city’s official valuation of the downtown area sat at just over R6,1bn. By the 2014/15 financial year, this official valuation had risen to close to R24bn.

Green building gains rapid momentum on the continent The pace of green building in Africa is accelerating, not only in South Africa but across the continent. Green building is a growing global movement, but its implementation varies widely by country and region, including the rate of growth in green involvement, triggers and obstacles impacting that growth, and even the degree of benefits noted.

Are you underinsured? The Pearl Walk to open in Umhlanga BRIAN WILKINSON, CEO, GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA

I

n tough times consumers naturally look at where they can cut back on spending. With household budgets under pressure, many people have to look at what they can do without to make ends meet.

While it is important to scrutinise where your money is going, it’s also important to make the right decisions about what you can do without.

Unfortunately many people take the high-risk option of reducing their insurance cover or even stopping the premiums altogether, and this can end up being far costlier in the long run.

While it may be highly unlikely that your house and everything in it will go up in flames, it is vital that you consider what might happen if it did.

Even if you suffered a break-in and lost a large chunk of your possessions, how would you replace them and how would your quality of life suffer?

Insurance is one of those things that you can underestimate until you really need it. And if you don’t have it when it matters, the cost far outweighs anything you would have paid in premiums.

Instead of reducing their cover, many South Africans should actually be checking that they have enough insurance to sort things out if the worst were to happen. In hard times, the last thing you want is to be burdened with

even more financial stress because your insurance was inadequate. In order to make sure you are not underinsured, you should do the following:

1

Make sure that your property is insured for what it would cost to rebuild it, not its purchase price.

The value may have appreciated significantly over time. This should be reviewed at least every year, and definitely after any renovations or home improvements.

2

Conduct a proper inventory of your household contents to estimate their replacement value. The cost to replace imported items in particular would have increased notably in recent years with the drop in the value of the rand. If your household contents are not insured for their full value, your insurer may not pay out the total claim.

3

Remember to insure individual items that leave the house regularly. This includes jewellery, expensive sporting equipment or electronic gadgets like tablets or laptops. If these are stolen outside of your house, they may not be covered if they haven’t been specified on your policy.

Research from Octogen suggests that 34% of South African consumers have no short-term insurance.

W

ith six months to go until the doors of Pearl Walk are officially opened, 96% of the high-end boutique mall is already tenanted.

As Umhlanga’s first boutique shopping mall, Pearl Walk has generated demand from some of the country’s biggest brands as they vie to become part of the much-acclaimed Pearl Sky development.

Situated within the already established

The Pearls of Umhlanga, Pearl Walk is set to open its doors in November this year.

“The response to Pearl Walk has been extremely positive. At this stage there are only three small retail stores and one restaurant space still available,” says Neil Cocker, leasing agent, Pearl Walk. “Food Lover’s Market has been confirmed as the anchor tenant, and to complement the exclusivity of the mall,

this will be the flagship store with a new-look contemporary design.”

Sudhir Pragjee, director, The Pearls of Umhlanga Development, says, “The opening of Pearl Walk will undoubtedly be a major boost for the Umhlanga area as a whole. While this area unarguably offers the best in terms of its seaside location and upscale residential developments, there is nothing like Pearl Walk.”

Strong demand for Cape Winelands lifestyle T he latest FNB property barometer reveals that during the first quarter of 2016, the Western Cape house price index rose 12% year on year, compared to the Eastern Cape, which increased by 7,6%, KwaZuluNatal by 5,6%, and Gauteng by 3%.

driven by the increasing rate of semi­ gration among upcountry buyers.

Minnie says that semigrating is one of the latest trends in the South African property market, and that Cape Town has become the ideal semigration destination due to its proximity to the coast and laid-back atmosphere.

Jan Minnie, sales director, Somerset Lakes, an adventure lifestyle estate in Somerset West, says this increase can be attributed to the rising demand for property in the Western Cape,

He says that as this trend unfolds, local property agents are seeing a boost in buying activity from upcountry buyers in the Somerset West area.

“Somerset West has become the

top residential purchasing area in the Helderberg property market in terms of demand and average prices – especially among out-oftown buyers who currently comprise about 40% of the potential buyers expressing interest in the area.”

“The buyer demographic continues to change as we see an increased number of prospective purchasers from Durban, Pretoria, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Bloemfontein,” he says.

About the area WORDS: KIT HEATHCOCK

W

ith the mountain as a scenic backdrop, quiet residential streets patrolled by guinea fowl, and several of Cape Town’s top schools right on its doorstep, it’s no wonder that Claremont is a top choice for families with school-aged children.

In the catchment area for schools such as Rondebosch Boys’ High School, Westerford High School, Rustenberg schools, SACS, with Herschel Girls’ School and The Grove Primary School within the suburb itself, family houses here are in high demand and the school run takes a matter of minutes.

major rugby and cricket matches at the nearby stadiums, and sporty kids have top training on hand at the related clubs.

Skateboarders, dog walkers and family groups bring the streets to life, creating a sociable neighbourhood vibe, whether you’re in leafy Upper Claremont, heading to Paradise Park, or in the midst of residential Lynfrae herding a flock of small kids on bicycles to Keurboom Park, also a green haven for dog walkers and joggers. Older teens and UCT students have the night life of Claremont Main Road close by, sports fans can walk to

For everyday shopping, locals find the small neighbourhood centres of Belvedere Square and Palmyra Junction most convenient, with Woolworths’ greenest flagship store at the latter. When boutiques and more upmarket stores are calling, Cavendish Square is right there, while at the other end of the spectrum, the factory shops of Access Park provide hunting grounds for bargain lovers.

Residents also love how central Claremont is. You can be surfing at the beach in Muizenberg within 15 minutes, or in the CBD for work or play in the same amount of time, and Newlands Forest is the shortest of drives away for walking or mountain biking. Even closer, the restored trails along the Liesbeek River offer an easy and pretty cycling route from Claremont Main Road to the Kirstenbosch arboretum.

I have always enjoyed how the streets are alive. People are out and about walking dogs, skateboarding, cycling, running. The community feels pretty relaxed and because there are so many schools in the area, a lot of people know each other through their children ROBYN VON GEUSAU, RESIDENT

Agent commentary Q: What types of properties are available and what can buyers expect to pay?

A: Claremont has a wide variety of property options in various sub-areas. It is especially popular because it’s close to several of South Africa’s best schools and a stone’s throw from excellent sports facilities like the Newlands Rugby Stadium and Cricket Ground.

It is also surrounded by top-class amenities and malls like Cavendish Square. Free­hold property prices range from R1,3m for a two-bedroom cottage that isn’t renovated in Lower Claremont, to R29,75m for a mansion in Upper Claremont, with the average sale price being R5,1m. Apartment prices generally range between R1,2m and R3m.

Jill Lloyd AREA SPECIALIST, LEW GEFFEN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

Q: How has the area changed over the past five years?

A: The last five years have seen Claremont increase in popularity with demand far exceeding supply. The proximity to leading schools, UCT, high-end shopping areas and an easy commute to Cape Town, make it highly desirable for families.

In addition, there is a rapidly growing commercial component in the area with financial houses such as Prudential and the new Citadel headquarters attracting young executives. Rental income and re-sale values are on the increase, making it a sound investment with a huge capacity for capital appreciation.

Ruth Leach & Annie Goddard

Q: What attracts buyers to the area?

A: Claremont comprises numerous different pockets, each with varying demographics. Holding its own in terms of property values, the whole suburb remains highly sought after. The centrality of Claremont to leading schools, UCT, sports grounds, hospitals, the retail and commercial offerings of Cavendish Square, plus Main Road with easily accessible public transport including the Jammie Shuttle, place the suburb firmly on the wish lists of both investors and those wishing to live in the suburb.

Upper Claremont boasts numerous property options from affordable family homes and sectional title apartments to sprawling properties with grand lavish houses.
