Jeffreys Bay

"Go with a group of friends, sort of camp style. They cook all the food over hot coals, incredible seafood and an incredible atmosphere. It's really fun."

Die Walskipper

"If you're looking for a good breakfast or a bit of lunch after a good surf, African Perfection down underneath the hotel there is incredible. Just walk in, get some incredible food and incredible coffee and get back out in the water."

African Perfection

"Go down to Cape St Francis and there's the Jack Nicklaus-designed course that is absolutely beautiful. It's so well-groomed and the golf is incredible."

St Francis Links

"Jbay — Supertubes –  is in the top five, if not top three waves in the world for me. I just love the setup, the way the waves roll down the point. Everything I grew up surfing, that epitomises my style, or the things I like to do on a wave, are at Jeffreys Bay."

Supertubes

"Go to a safari park and see the Big Five. Shamwari is an amazing one, at north Gqeberha. When you're up close and personal with a lion or an elephant or giraffe, you see how big they are. You feel pretty insignificant."

Shamwari Private Game Reserve

"Kitchen Windows is a big favourite for everyone — go there for an incredible steak."
