Alas, the pool is no longer here, but the Chill Cove has some interesting modifications that are just super…  We now have two hammocks all the way from Paraguay where you can relax, read a book or just stare out at the ocean.

Here is a report of the flowers out over the past few years.  It is a list of flowers that I have come across and also sent on to the Flower Line.

It may be of interest…

More likely than not you will be soaking up the sun while it rains in Cape Town.  Our winter days are spent snuggled up in front of the Dover Stove, sipping on gluwine while listening to the sound of the rain on a tin roof contemplating the stormy seas- sooo… romantic!!

A lot of you missed out on the most amazing wild flower display last year… make a plan to get to The Beach Camp this year not to miss out!
