Yummy in Cape Town

mmm, I like it rough too!
 

Stellenbosch for the weekend

I took a trip to Stellenbosch 50 kms outside Cape Town for the day - you cannot beat the view of the vineyards with the mountains in the background.. and it's Christmas time in Cape Town and the decorations are up!

Chilly or hot?

The weather's been cooling down a little in Cape Town so here's a hot guy to keep the temps up!!

Awesome Flying trip to Cape Town

The four of us jumped in our two aeroplanes and did a 10-day round trip that took in the southernmost tip of Africa, south of Cape Town, then on to the Cape peninsular, Stellenbosch and then back to Durban. Will post a few of the Cape pics here over the next day or two including the great Shisa Men's resort in Tulbach.

Hot Bod cold Atlantic

It's summer in the Cape, and if you're brave enough to brave the cold Atlantic, you may find something hot.. check out Clifton 3rd beach.. where all the hotties hang out.

Killer bods in Cape Town

While those in the north are getting cold, here in South Africa it's summer and HOT. It's time to find the boys on the beach and around the pools.. cocktails anyone?

Winter in Cape Town

It's winter in Cape Town so there's not a whole lot happening, but we had an awesome weekend there, drinking wine and enjoying the gay bars CT is famous for.. mmm

Mother City

Cape Town is known as South Africa's Mother City.. the place where beautiful people come to be seen. And you can appreciate why.

Easter break

Hey hope you guys are having as awesome an Easter break as I am. Have a great one...mmm

Amsterdam in Cape Town

We spent a great few days in Cape Town, mainly to visit my son who is studying at Stellenbosch University, but also to visit some of the awesome gay venues in the city. We stayed at Amsterdam Guesthouse one of the more established men-only guesthouses, nestled at the foothills of table mountain.

Amsterdam's sparkling pool was inviting

 


The incredible view from Amsterdam to Table Mountain

 


Sunny deck above the pool

  Thanks Louwrens for looking after us so well at Amsterdam. The breakfasts were sumptuous and the Guesthouse is well located near the Kloof Nek road that takes you into the city, up Table Mountain or quickly to the other side of the peninsular to Camps Bay and Clifton Beaches.

Well recommended for a stay in Cape Town, and the Guesthouse also has a sauna and steam room next to the pool area so you can meet up with the other guys staying there.



Cape country here we come

It's great to get out of the city for a few days and this weekend we are off to Shisa Guest farm in the Tulbach area, about 120 mins drive north of Cape Town city.... for some men in the bush... ha ha.

Then we will be back for 2 nights at Amsterdam, the awesome men-only guesthouse we visited last year on the slopes of Table Mountain. Will load some more hot pics after the weekend so you can enjoy the view too.

Cape Town shines

It's been an awesome summer, great New Year and we're already into the first week of January. Have a great 2011 all and see you here in sunny Cape Town soon.. promise?

Tis the season to be jolly and gay

South Africa's gay capital welcomes all hot guys in Christmas hats this season... mmmm. Happy Christmas to all you folk.

1 Belvedere - Cape Town sophistication

In Cape Town to meet fellow gay guesthouse owners is Llewellyn (left) of Durban View Guesthouse with Rob (right) of 1 Belvedere - a sophisticated men-only guesthouse at the foothills of Table Mountain.

The grand old house is superbly furnished and is owned by Charl and Rob, Dutch guys who settled in Cape Town and are one of the oldest established gay guesthouses in the city.

It's summer in Cape Town

I know it's freezing in the northern hemisphere, so come on get your ass down south where it's all hot!!

Hot Stud in Cape Town

Nice little pouch there...

Shisa welcomed

Open plan, chic decor

Welcoming Joe from Cape Town's Shisa Guest Farm, is Llewellyn (right) co-owner of the east coast gay Guesthouse Durban View on Joe's recent trip to Durban.

It is important to network amongst the gay-only guesthouses in South Africa - there are only about 10 of us and Shisa Guest Farm, about 80mins drive north of Cape Town in the Tulbach area is on a must-visit list. It is a men-only establishment and is where the Cape Town locals go to relax and play in a beautiful setting in the winelands area.

Pride Films in Cape Town

Not very well publicised but Ster Kinekor are halfway through their Pride Film Fest in South Africa with 2 movies left to screen in their Cinema Nouveau complexes around the country.

In Cape Town there will be a screening of The Kids are Alright on the 12th November whilst their other movie Eyes Wide Open screens only at 4 venues on the 12th (Rosebank and Cavendish) and 26th November (Brooklyn and V&A Waterfront Cape Town).

Last year I was appalled by the lack of publicity for the few films they were showing and adverts at the Cinema for the gay film fest apologised to straight patrons for the screening on one day of the year of films to suit the gay community. Poor show Ster Kinekor.

It's time to get wet

In South Africa, it's summer time and the beach is hot.. not to mention the beach boyz!!

Hot in Cape Town

Getting to Sandy Bay in Cape Town... the beach where you take it all off... is one of our favourites. And for those who want to venture into the bushes, there is always action.

Cape Town accommodation

Pretty erotic is the horseman statue at the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town (above). We did a quick visit to the exclusively gay guesthouses in Cape Town and here are a few pics. Unfortunately my camera got stolen at the Beefcakes restaurant and club on Friday so some of my earlier photos of the GapLeisure website launch are lost forever.. a pity.

Most of the Guesthouses are in the Oranjezicht area which is at the foothills of Table Mountain.. so the views out and about the Guesthouses are awesome.

Here Llewellyn and I are seen at the entrance to Amsterdam Guesthouse where the manager showed us around. It seemed to be one of the busier places we visited and has a courtesy bus to fetch and carry guests. Features were a lovely sundeck and pool, as well as a sauna, jacuzzi and wet-room.
