Week 4: the restaurant directory opens, plus an honest shark diving guide

Week 4

Eight new guides went live this week, bringing the site to 68 pages total. Highlights:

The restaurant directory opens

Restaurants close far more often than hotels, so every profile in our new Restaurant Directory was checked before publishing rather than pulled from an old list. First three: Harbour House, Mama Africa and La Colombe.

An honest shark cage diving guide

Our new shark cage diving guide doesn't repeat the old “guaranteed great whites” marketing — sightings near Gansbaai have genuinely become less predictable in recent years, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than oversell the day.

New things to do

Same pace from here: new guides added at least weekly. See the full board for everything.
