If you haven't heard of the Oyster Box, then you're probably locked in a basement somewhere - I'll send for help. With its iconic lighthouse, red stripey pool lounges and detail upon detail of old world charm this must be one of South Africa's most Instagrammed hotels. This will become obvious, the more you scroll down … Continue reading WMBW Travels – The Oyster Box

Life moves pretty quickly nowadays. We're always looking for a faster better way to do things, never really taking a chance to slow down and appreciate what's going on around us. This couldn't be truer than when it comes to travel. We want the quickest flight with the shortest layover getting us to our destination … Continue reading WMBW Travels – The Rovos Rail

There are business hotels, and there are hotels that mean business. I think the Four Seasons The Westcliff Johannesburg is a little of both. Given its location, it seemed like the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights while up in Jo'burg on business. Set up high on a cliff in Saxonworld, this place … Continue reading WMBW Travels – Four Seasons Johannesburg

There are 2 kinds of vacations in this world. Those where you return relaxed and those where you return in need of another vacation. A stay at Birkenhead House is definitely the former. A quick hour and a half from Cape Town and you'll find the little town of Hermanus. Famous for its whale watching, … Continue reading WMBW Travels – Birkenhead House

A week in Croatia can be summed up in 3 very simple words: Boats. Beers. Sunsets. Croatia had always been on my list of places to visit, but it was kinda at the bottomish of the list, I mean...arent they at war? It wasn't until Elzaan showed me a Yacht Week Croatia video that it ramped itself … Continue reading Aramis Voyager Series – Croatia

In a land where your order wine by the Kilo, it's impossible not to have the best time. When you think of going Greek Island hopping, you can't help but gravitate towards places like Mykonos and Santorini, after all, it's pretty much all you ever see on Instagram, right? Having been to both those islands … Continue reading Aramis Voyager Series – Skopelos Greece

Views, opulence and service. Those are the three words I'm gonna use to describe our recent stay at La Residence in Franschhoek. Oh wait and 'wine'. So possibly 4 words! Being the winelands, one can expect a fair amount of corks to be twisted. We were lucky enough to be invited by The Royal Portfolio … Continue reading WMBW Travels – La Residence Franschhoek

When was the last time you were amazed? Now I don't mean, coin behind the ear 'wowed', I mean "Holy Shit Look at that" amazed.  I ask, because that's how the Palace of the Lost City made me feel. Amazing really is the only way I can describe this place. I remember when The Lost … Continue reading WMBW Travels – The Palace of the Lost City

This is the blog post that nearly didn't happen, because this was the trip that nearly didn't happen. However, after one botched booking, 1 tropical cyclone (upgraded to a Typhoon I just might add) 2 canceled flights and one 'touch and go' landing, we made it to Mauritius! See, after a really busy 2016, Elzaan … Continue reading WMBW Travels – Radisson Blu Azuri
