Company information

When the weather's good, I like to walk, cycle or run in the mountains above Rhodes Memorial or picnic in the parks while watching the squirrels collect acorns. When the weather’s bad, I like to go see a show at the Baxter Theatre. To relax and restore my soul, I like to potter around the craft markets and Pottery Markets held on Saturdays in Rondebosch Park.
