South African Resources

A big welcome to our South African Resources section — a special corner of the site where we share real-life tips and honest reviews from our home country, South Africa.

Although we’re now living abroad, our hearts are still very much connected to South Africa — the amazing people, the beautiful places, the small businesses, the creativity, and the unique products you just don’t find anywhere else. From local favourites to hidden gems, we’ve rounded up our family’s tried-and-tested recommendations to help you navigate all things proudly South African.

We’ve lived in many places over the years, but when it comes to South African know-how, we’ve got decades of hands-on experience. Whether you’re visiting South Africa, supporting from afar, or just curious about local brands, this section is full of helpful tips and insights.

You can explore these South African resources categories:

• Local Businesses – The good, the bad, and the brilliant. Real reviews of businesses we’ve used and loved (or not).

• SA Products – From nostalgic treats to practical essentials, these are products we’ve used and still talk about.

• Restaurants – Our thoughts on family-friendly, veggie-friendly spots across SA that stood out for service, taste, or pure lekker vibes.

We’ll be adding more stories, reviews, and useful tips over time — so check back regularly or hit that Follow button (top right or in the footer) to stay in the loop.

Whether you’re proudly South African or just want to support local, we hope this section makes your experience a little easier — and a lot more meaningful.
