Jumeirah beach, my little piece of paradise 😍 s Jumeirah beach, my little piece of paradise 😍 stayed a quick two days as a lay over on the way to Europe (Netherlands and the UK). 

The @doubletreebyhiltonjumeirah was perfect! Managed to enjoy some french rosé in the pool. Beautiful views of the city from my bed. Loved it!

Hello Dubai! The building in front of me is the @ Hello Dubai! 
The building in front of me is the @addressbeachresort in Jumeirah beach featuring the tallest infinity pool in the world. Swipe to see some pics. 

The hotel to the left of that is my hotel @doubletreebyhiltonjumeirah 🌴

I’m sipping on a rosé from France. At 37 degrees, it’s best to stay in the pool 😅 that’s why I was glad there was a pool bar. 🍷

Dubai is my favourite travel destination outside of South Africa. 😍 the architecture, modern living lifestyle, cleanliness, safety and being a cosmopolitan hub is what makes Dubai world class. It’s like living in the future 😍

Accommodation at @lords.wines This winery is in Accommodation at @lords.wines 

This winery is in McGregor about a two hour drive out of Cape Town. 

Blue crane house has 4 bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen making it perfect for families or wedding parties. From around R4000 per night. 

The views from the braai area are stunning! Each area had heating (air cons, fireplace, gas heater, electric blankets) , I wasn’t cold once, even though it was 6 degrees outside brrrr! 

A super time was had at this lovely place in McGregor. 🍷🍷 Don’t forget to buy some bottles of Cap Classique, Chardonnay and Shiraz!

Enjoy a tasting of 5 wines for R50 or 3 barrel selection wines for R100. This wine region is known to produce fantastic Cap Classique, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Have you been?
