Molo Cape Town

12/06/2023

This weekend, the Molo Cape Town team embarked on an adventure to the charming town of Sutherland. We thought we knew what we were getting into, but boy, were we in for a surprise! 😄

First things first, Sutherland is known as the coldest place in South Africa. Our water bottles turned into slushies in no time, and we found ourselves questioning our life choices. But fear not, because the people of Sutherland are the warmest and friendliest you'll ever meet! They made sure we felt right at home, even in the frosty temperatures. ❄️

Our cozy haven for the weekend was the rustic and delightful Artist Cottage. It was a breath of fresh air to disconnect from the internet, TV, and all things technological. Instead, we snuggled up with a good book, a glass of red wine, and a roaring fire. Talk about relaxation goals! 📚🍷🔥

Exploring the town on a walking tour was an absolute delight. Sutherland has so much to offer, including a private planetarium that will leave you in awe. And of course, the highlight of our weekend was a visit to Sterland Sutherland for an unforgettable star-gazing session. The complimentary sherry was our secret weapon against the cold. Cheers to that! 🌟🍷

If you're in need of a break from the daily hustle and bustle, we highly recommend a trip to Sutherland. Yes, it's a bit of a journey from our beautiful city, but trust us, it's worth it! And on your way back to Cape Town, make a pit stop at Matjiesfontein for a much-needed coffee and brunch. You'll thank us later. ☕️🥐

So, pack your warmest coat, grab a sense of adventure, and join us in exploring the hidden gems of Sutherland. Get ready for frosty fun and unforgettable memories. 😉
