This place is neat and well organized. Good location!
I am busy with home maintenance and painting window frames and the labourer lost some of the brass *****s for the latches. After phoning a friend he recommended that I try the Build It in Boshoff Street. I went to the store a bit sceptical and was pleasantly surprised. The store was busy with many cars in the carpark. Eventually I drove around and found many extra parking bays. I waited a bit to get someone to point me in the right direction as there is a large range of tools, equipment and all you could need for any maintenance project. I found some brass *****s and inquired about some other products, which my sales assistant referred me to a different sales consultant. As I was in a hurry to get out of the heat, I shall phone and get a price. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, I think that I will certainly be back.

Terrible Service and Claims Experience
So short, non-descriptive reviews are allowed now? OKAY! Terrible service, and thanks to Sibongakonke Mbulehle Koka Kola who gave me an attitude.

A very picturesque garden escape.
Its a wonderful venue in PMB. They offer a really large property. The have accommodation facilities and an arrival stead for the bride to arrive in. The relief is flat and the distance between the stead and chapel are in good proximity. They offer outdoor weddings and indoor weddings. The chapel one sided coverage with the other area being mostly windows which WAS great during Covid. The reception area has glass doors all around which is great. Their offer affordable wedding packages that are absolutely amazing. They also have bar facilities and allow dogs. Gypsie, their friendly dog, will show you around if you get lost on the property. They have so many cool spots to take pictures its amazing, so you should definitely bring a camera.

Action sports is the bomb!
The place is great though I felt the bar is not catering for all customers. There is good kiosk for snacks but the bar needs to improve the range of offerings. Great indoors cricket and a bit of soccer for kids and of course the older kids (dads) too. Sports bar to buy drinks restaurant for foods. Great for kiddies parties. Safe lots of parking. Car guards there. There's free WiFi, a well stocked bar and fresh food, and it is also a great place to watch sports matches if your TV is ever down at home, but this is more of a family establishment. You may not want to come if you despise kids.

the perfect ISP for back-up internet.
My main is 5g with MTN, but lately I have suffered during load shedding. Upon asking around some, I found day whose staff were able to point me towards satellite internet providers for backups because they are not affected by load shedding like the 5g towers are... I am still in the process of finding out what to do about satellite. I want to see where the electric grid in Pietermaritzberg goes in the next few weeks to see if the 5g suffers. I have been using the 1tb telkom plan as a backup to my 5g in the interim, and it is surprisingly good! I actually bought a Billion bipac router just before the holidays because my huawei one kept backing up, and I think that this might just be the best decision that I have made because it works amazingly with my telkom SIM. I get about 105Mbps on average with telkom on good days and then it slows to 50Mbps on bad days, I presume that this is due to load shedding because it eventually goes back to normal. I do have a signal booster that my husband installed, but I am not sure how much that helps or if it does at all. Not sure that I need 1tb, but I am happy with it so far. With 5g, I got 200Mbps easy at first with the booster, but that is off so often that I do not know if it is sustainable. There is only one 5g tower near me, so I presume that the lack of backups is the issue, but the thing's that I do not live in a rural area by any means. Anyways, I am very thankful to the agent who talked me thru this thru email to help me get the best plan given my sitaution. I have high hopes for the satellite internet once I decide which provider is best for me and also when the installation can take place. I might honestly consider telkom when they role out 5g after all of this bc they were suprisingly good. I remember my first number was with telkom, but the signal back then was abismal! I am glad to see that it has improved.

Do yourself a favour and try them out for yourself.
Had breakfast at the The Smiling Oven Cafe, very nice spacious restaurant, fast, friendly and efficient service with unbelievable value for money and delicious food. Not to mention all the other treats on offer from the bakery.

A solid museum to visit, but there was too much to infer.
I last visited the museum a long time ago. There has been a change in fashion. The ladies in the different house were helpful and knowledgeable and there were few visitors so we could ask lots of questions. Nothing was labelled as to its origin, paintings had nothing to say who they were of, what their connection was to the house etc. Yet there were accession numbers scattered around and clearly visible.

A worthwhile stop if you happen to visit Franschhoek.
Beautiful cars, each one with some detail of its history. A few bikes for the bike lovers. Overall very interesting and we had a lovely time as a family. There is a coffee shop as well as a wine and souvenir shop. The only slightly annoying thing was even though you can visit anytime now (Jan 2022) you have to buy your ticket online and then only ride in. We had to park outside the gate and do the online booking, then the payment, and then we could drive in. But otherwise, it was awesome and staff was friendly. It as just as I remembered it as a kid but for my kids!

Simbithi Ecoestate's upkeep is honestly embarassing...
It is an okay estate with lots of natural beauty, but I have seen prettier in less pretty areas. They do not do a good job of using the environement to shape a sort of scene. The estate, in many places, just looks overgorwn and abandoned. OH! The speed bumps are especially annoying tho... the speed limit is 40kph, but then you cannot go over the humps faster than 20kph without damaging your car which is exactly what has happened to me. I do not expect them to pay, but at least fix your roads so my car does not get into an accident while following YOUR speed limits. Also, the brick roads and sidewalks that they have are ugly and should be pave over. As I was entering the estate on Cussonia to go to my sister's house, I nearly had an accident because the bricks are so uneven and have not bee levelled or replaced in years.

A very safe, exemplary bakery in Pietermaritzberg to try!
I rate Sunshine Bakery very highly both in production and personal hygiene of the staff and enforcing those quotas. The plant is kept in a clean and hygienic state, and the handling of the bread is very hygienic and professionally done as well. l worked in a number of bread producing plants when I was a teen myself, and l find Sunshine Bakery to be right at the top with the very best that I have seen in KZN.
