WIN a weekend away at Tarragona Guest Lodge in Hout Bay, Cape Town

We recently stayed at Tarragona Guest Lodge in Hout Bay, Cape Town. Read the post and see pictures here. We had an absolutely amazing stay and I know that you will too! This 4 star luxury lodge in Hout Bay offers single, double and family suites with patios overlooking the mountains, a pool and beautifully landscaped gardens. This gorgeous B n B is situated just 20 minutes from Cape Town, and is worlds away from the busy city. We felt so relaxed and at home during our stay.

To celebrate and commemorate our stay there, we’re GIVING AWAY a weekend for 2! Kids included if you’re a family. I mean, look at how beautiful it is at Tarragona…

What happens in your home and how you educate your children on health and nutrition is your business and your responsibility. Sure we have lazy ‘help yourself’ nights where our boys have cereal for dinner, and the odd treat is fine. We’re not perfect, but hey – we’re balanced.

Now we’ve been to a lot of restaurants, especially in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
