Thank you @seaskyvillas for hosting @gabrielmornelas for our Cape Town recce for @itsonthepass.
Seasky embodies a massively important side of the hospitality industry: creating beautifully appointed and well designed homes for travellers to feel they can explore and adventure around this beautiful city from a hub of luxury, comfort and style. Their villas are carefully selected, gracefully decorated, and most importantly manned by kind, thoughtful and attentive team members. The views are incredible - and a gentle reminder of how lucky we are to be surrounded by such impressive nature! 🌊🌿🌞
We sat down with Seasky Villas owner & founder @estamarita , to hear more about her thoughts on operating her business in South Africa, her hopes and excitements for Cape Town’s future and of course her lovely team. We thank you for your time and your hospitality!
We look forward to having many guests enjoy Esta-Marita & her team’s special gift for hospitality! As we like to say: this has been Sideways Approved! Reach out to book your next exploration of Cape Town ✨

Thank you @anthony_hamilton_russell for hosting us!
Hamilton Russell, founded by Anthony’s father, in 1975, after an exhaustive search for the most southerly land to grow vines which would flourish and hone a distinctive cool-climate wines. The vineyard pioneered wine-making in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley. Meaning ‘Heaven and Earth’ in old Dutch & Afrikaans - a drive through this stunning area and a visit to this farm makes it very clear where the name came from!
Hamilton Russell’s wines, notably their Chardonnay & Pinot Noir varietals, are world renowned and highly praised. What really stood out for us was Anthony’s warm hosting style, sense of humour, humility & ability to impart knowledge in such a meaningful way! We are grateful for your time and look forward to returning.

These colourful Edoardo Villa sculptures pop up all over the grounds @steenbergfarm - brining whimsy & charm to the estate. Villa, born in Italy, rose to be one of South Africa’s most prolific sculptors. Creating over 1000 pieces, Villa rejects the traditional, conservative approach. Moved by the more figurative style of African sculpture, Edoardo’s anti-establishment is felt through his work. Villa ended up in South Africa after being captured in Egypt while serving his conscription time in the Italian Military. Villa, after his imprisonment in Zonderwater (an internment camp near Pretoria), decides to stay in South Africa and exhibits his first works, at the Johannesburg Library within the same year - 1947.
