Coffee, Conversations & Community ☕️

Our delivery journey took us to Brothers Coffee Roastery - the spot where the aroma of freshly roasted beans greets you before you even step through the door.

Handing over the very first edition of My Garden Route Life here just felt right. Like a good cup of coffee, our magazine is all about connection - sparking conversations, sharing stories, and bringing people together.

If you haven’t popped in yet, Brothers is more than just coffee. It’s a place “where you belong.” So grab a cuppa, settle in, and maybe flip through our magazine while you sip.

Another stop on our delivery adventure - and another story worth sharing.

George Golf Club ⛳️

From its rolling fairways to its warm clubhouse welcome, George Golf Club is a landmark in the Garden Route - and the perfect stop for our My Garden Route Life delivery journey.

Handing over our first edition here felt special: this is a place where history, sport, and community meet. Generations of golfers (and plenty of spectators too!) have enjoyed this course, and now our magazine joins the tradition of stories shared at the 19th hole.

Whether you play, walk the course, or just love the atmosphere, George Golf Club is proof that some spots never lose their charm.

Local Stories Stop - Outeniqua SuperSpar 🛒

We love Spar - especially when it’s buzzing with new energy and local love! Today, we dropped off the first edition of My Garden Route Life at the new SuperSpar in the Outeniqua Lifestyle Centre.

Walking into this bright, welcoming store, you can feel how much care goes into every aisle, every smile from the team, and every local product they stock. It’s not just a grocery shop - it’s a place that represents the heart of our community, one fresh loaf and one friendly wave at a time.

If you’re passing through, drop in - grab a FREE magazine, soak in the vibes, maybe pick up something delicious - and say hi to the team while you're there!

More stops to come... and we’re loving how each one tells a different story of the Garden Route.

Fresh off the press at Redberry Farm! 🍓

What better place to share the My Garden Route Life magazine than the home of bumper boats, bubble balls, rabbits, pony rides… and of course, the sweetest strawberries in town?

We loved dropping by Redberry Farm to hand over the very first edition - because just like this local favourite, our magazine is all about fun, family, and celebrating the best of the Garden Route.

If you haven’t been to Redberry yet, here’s your sign to grab the kids, bring your friends, and lose yourself in the hedge maze (don’t worry, you’ll find your way out eventually 😉).

Keep an eye out - our delivery adventures are just getting started!

Magazine Drop at Oubaai!!

There’s something special about walking into Oubaai Hotel Golf & Spa, the elegance, the warm welcome, and of course that iconic dolphin logo. Today, we had the pleasure of delivering the very first edition of My Garden Route Life to the team here at Oubaai.

It’s more than just a magazine delivery - it’s about connecting with the people and places that make the Garden Route so unique. From hidden gems to world-class destinations, we’re proud to see our publication in the hands of those who shape the region’s story.

📍 Next time you’re in the area, why not take a detour to Oubaai? Whether it’s a round of golf, a spa day, or simply soaking in the views, it’s a stop worth making.

Stay tuned as we continue our delivery journey - who knows, your favourite spot might be next!

From the showroom to the Jimny lineup - and even a mini photoshoot with the fabulous team - it was nothing but smiles, laughs, and lekker vibes.

Huge thanks to the Suzuki Knysna crew for the warm welcome (and for making our magazine look so good alongside those iconic Jimnys 😉).
