#LTselects: la clé des montagnes
We’ve found our South African spirit animal, and it goes by the name of La Clé des Montagnes. The latest induction to our #LTselects series, this boutique hotel in South African wine country was most certainly love at first sight. Our first day of sightseeing in the Western Cape came to end in the town of Franschhoek, where our Hands Up Holidays guide, Janise, dropped us off at our accommodations for the evening: La Clé des Montagnes, a small collection of villas situated on a private estate.

#LTselects: the inn at hastings park
Guys. We’ve found our new favorite hotel. Like. Obsessed. This is not an understatement. But before we dive into our stay at The Inn at Hastings Park, let’s backtrack. You know how, post-trip, the very first question from friends and family is, “What was your favorite part?!”? And have you noticed that, for some reason, no one ever seems very receptive to, “EVERYTHING!!!!!”? Realistically, though, you probably do have a favorite, right? It can be a hotel, a restaurant, or a single moment. But these are the things you’re going to think of first when you look back on a trip.…
