Some excitement on Easter monday... This guy must have forgotten how powerful his rented AC Cobra is. After dropping the hammer as he left the hotel, the back shot out, trashed the bridge, then spun 180 degrees, back towards the hotel, onto the grass, then spun in the opposite direction down the river bank...
Coastal Clean up day. Over two days, over 80 bags of litter and rubbish were removed from the beach and vlei at Glencairn by enthusiastic volunteers....
Dear Grete On 9 October, 2010, 40 or so of our friends and family gathered at the Southern Right Hotel for a breakfast to celebrate a joint 80th and 50th birthday. Grete Hollenbach met with us well in advance of the event and suggested the menu for the breakfast, worked out a most reasonable quote and ensured that we would have all we needed. As...
As is often the case with events like this, some people who were on the guest list were unable to attend. Grete graciously coped with all the changes and did a great job of making sure that everything was in order. What a lovely morning we had! The food was fabulous and the servings generous! No one was kept waiting for their meals. The staff were courteous and very quick to sort out whatever was needed. Jessica and Michelle, who were in charge of the morning, were charming hostesses and attended to last minute details with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. They helped us to set up music, fill vases, organise a microphone, stow away bags and containers ... etc. etc. At no time did we feel rushed. At the end of the morning, as lunchtime customers arrived, our remaining guests moved happily to one large table and lingered on the deck, watching the sea and enjoying a relaxing drink. It was a truly lovely day. Thank you so much to the management and staff of the Southern Right Hotel. The Doolan family

Hi Janine This is simply to report that we attended this afternoon, a wedding reception at the Southern Right. The food, the young waitresses, the ambiance were all absolutely tops. We had an open menu and we therefore took the occasion to try out the various offerings. The mussels, which had previously been a disaster, were absolutely the best...
and the Eisbein was a nice as those served at the larney restaurants in Noordhoek !! And that means something! The service was slick even though the poor girls had to run up and down the staircase. Please pass on my congratulations and appreciation to all concerned in the hotel service at Mark Waite's wedding reception (co-ordinated by his mother, Coral Surtees). The hotel was busy with World Cup fans swarming everywhere but managed magnificently. Congratulations and thank you -- Philippe

“Another interesting old photo. That is the Southern Right Hotel on the left and the bathing boxes of Glencairn Beach . There is a structure behind on the terrace where LeRuaRua is now doing it's thing. It may be the modified remains of the ship's bridge from the Clan Stewart which used to be... - http://friendfeed.com/e...
