Winter in Cape Town gets a bad rap: a little sideways rain, the wine farms hit snooze, and your one friend who insists they’re moving to Durban “just because it never gets this cold there”. But the truth is, if you know where to look, you’ll see that the Mother City doesn’t really shut down in winter. She just puts on her mood lighting and leans into a slower, snugglier groove.

This isn’t your standard “go sip Shiraz in Stellenbosch” roundup (though, to be fair, we’ll never say no to a good glass… or two). This one’s for the adventurers, the wanderers, and the ones who secretly prefer off-season energy.

Get ready to reimagine your workday because Neighbourgood is teaming up with Decorex Africa 2025 to give you an exclusive peek into "The Future of Work." If you've been dreaming of a workspace that actually inspires you, you're in for a treat!

Decorex Africa's overarching theme for 2025 is "The Future of Living," and we at Neighbourgood are honoured to be the official partner for their dedicated "Future of Work" feature. It's all about how our workspaces can genuinely elevate our lives, both personally and professionally.

Look, we love a box of chocolates as much as the next person, but Mother’s Day deserves more than generic gifts and last-minute lunch bookings. This year, we’re skipping the commercial clichés and making space for something better: thoughtful moments, real connection, and quality time with the people who raised us, guided us, or simply kept us sane.

Whether you're planning a day for your mom, your gran, your bonus mom, your best friend who parents like a pro, or even yourself (shout out to the self-carers!), Cape Town has your back.
