Authentic, from heart & home with love experience. Tonight we made new friends, and shared the company of colourful souls. Our host opened her home and heart to us and I left enriched. The warmth of the people and the stories shared. Theresa is a colourful and well-travelled individual with enough life experience to decorate two life times with colour. She is open and warm without being overly familiar.
An authentic South African culinary experience.
