the resort

Cape St Francis Holiday Resort started out several years ago as a Caravan park, and had a few chalets too. It has grown over the years, and now has many chalets, a conference centre, and its own restaurant, Joe Fish.

The Port Hotel has been undergoing a bit of a hiatus ever since the hotel management pulled out, and a new plan is currently being made for the running of the hotel. The restaurant on the ground floor was independantly owned, but depended on the hotel for its clients. There are all sorts of moves afoot to restructure, and at the moment it remains a bit of a mystery! Watch this space, we'll let you know how it turns out.

Easter at Ajubatus

This morning we had breakfast at the Lighthouse. The little restaurant there has been set up to raise funds for the penguin rescue centre next door. Our grandson is enjoying reading the little booklet of laminated photos attached to the salt and pepper holder, with pictures of various seabirds that have been rescued here recently. Next to it is a tin for donations of coins, also to be used for penguin rescue. In the background behind the waitress, the sign on the blackboard reads Happy Easter from all at Ajubatus, and shows a penguin popping out of an egg.

Inside the Port Hole

A while ago we featured the exterior of the Port Hole with its unusual design, and promised to show you inside the restaurant sometime. Well here it is, this view is along the side, looking towards the pub, and through the windows you see all along the extreme right, is a great view looking down on the Harbour and beyond that, the bay. On a clear day you can see beyond Jeffreys Bay.

Inside the restaurant the decor reflects the fact that this is a busy fishing port, and that thay specialise in seafood. The windows on this side overlook Otters Landing and Shark Point, looking south to the open sea.

Farol... a great place to eat

One of the restaurants we really enjoy in the village is Farol. It isn't especially fancy (maybe that's one reason we feel at home there!) but it is well designed, and the food is always good. The service is friendly and personal, the owners are always there taking an interest in the patrons and making sure you are happy. Their fresh fish and steak espatade are drool worthy!
