The first thing you notice about Wellington is how particularly un-trendy you are.
And then how much coffee people drink.
Checked woollen shirts, shaggy hair, fingerless gloves, and pants-that-do-not-fit are no longer just the domain of the fashion conscious rough-sleeper.
I was in a bar on Friday night listening to some young trendies play their trendy music to their trendy friends. TVNZ political editor Guyon Espiner was there. He was pretty trendy too. Guyon wore a black leather jacket and an attractive woman on his arm. I wore jeans and a t-shirt, and felt a little out of place.
Then the next evening I saw ex-All Black lock James Ryan (Wellington brings out all the stars). The last time I saw him was during TV3's coverage of the Rugby World Cup. Unfortunately for him he wasn't particularly impressive then and the double blow is that on Saturday night he wasn't very trendy either. Oh, and he couldn't dance. But he least he wore pants which fitted him.
The trendies are everywhere in Wellington and they all seem to drink the gross national coffee bean exports of Guatemala in a single year. New Zealanders apparently drink 3.7kg of coffee a year- just edging out Serbia and Montenegro.
On Mondays in Wellington it's fun to play the game "spot the takeaway flat white". Recently released statistics show that one in every 1.5 people in Wellington will be carrying a takeaway flat white at approximately 8.21am on a Monday morning.*
Such is the scenario when good trends go bad - the unmeasured societal effect on a trendy city. The lost work hours, the time spent worrying if the jeans restrict enough blood flow to the thigh. "Have I cut all the fingers off my fingerless gloves" etc. The lost sleep, waking up an hour too early to use the hair straightener.
I have no doubt that this is why Wellington has so many coffee drinkers. They are just too trendy. And trendiness loves caffeine.
In Nelson, I have found Nayland College students very trendy. Walking into the school is like a mini Wellington but less windy, without a Beehive and way cooler.
These students probably don't drink coffee... yet, but just you wait. Already they have long, straight, dyed fringes that creep out from under small black beanies and stray over indifferent facial expressions. They also might wear a long sleeved thermal vest under their t-shirt in 25 degree weather.
It makes them look curious, a little mysterious and like they have too much time in the morning to get ready before school. It looks like they may have skipped their Sultana Bran. Soon they will need their coffee.
Coffee, which makes the politicians wise,
And see through all things with his half-shut eyes.
~Alexander Pope

If you count the long black drinkers (like myself), and look around The Terrace at 7.51, I reckon the ratio might by one in every 1.2 people. Time for another.
Hahahaa I love it. Being an ex Wellington coffee addict it was hard to find comparative coffee in Nelson. Have now been introduced to Kush, hmmmmmmm Kush. delicious.

What wearing the pyjama trend says about youPosted On September 14th, 2016 by Candice Pantin
Lingerie: la Vie en Rose, Sneakers: Adidas from Sportium
In the last couple of while I've taken a penchant for not only wearing the pyjama inspired style but going a step further by slipping into actual lingerie. Just like everything, there's nothing like the real thing. This look has been trending for a while (it can be traced back to the Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2009 RTW show) and my liking for it can be equated to an easy breezy disposition. As your style is a reflection of one's personality, here's my non scientific breakdown on a character trait of those that sport their nightwear as daywear.
1. You clearly have a non conformist attitude and define life by your own rules.
2. Be it with your attire or lifestyle choices, you value comfort and shy away from being uptight.
3. Being demure is your allure. You fancy the enigma to leaving something to the imagination.
4. You're a creative creature, mixing and matching is your jam. Negligee with denim anyone?
5. Being non-judgmental is highly valued as you're very accepting of novelty ideas.
What say you? Are you also lingerie lover at heart?

Foreverness, a 3-year-old winning son of Island Whirl, brought the top price of $102,000 Tuesday during the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic July sale of 2-year-olds in training and older horses of racing age. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, as agent for Harbor View Farm, the colt was purchased by John J. Brunetti.Foreverness was produced from the 16-year-old winning Affirmed mare Dearness and is from the family of champions Jaipur and What a Treat. On June 30, Foreverness broke his maiden in his third career start, scoring by three lengths in a mile race on turf at Belmont Park.The most expensive 2-year-old sold was Golden Arch, a colt from the first crop of the Kris S. stallion Arch. Trainer Anthony Dutrow purchased Golden Arch for $70,000 from Solitary Oak, agent for North Country Thoroughbreds. Golden Arch was produced from the 10-year-old stakes-placed Manila mare Manila Gold. He worked a quarter-mile in 22 3/5 seconds prior to the auction.As a weanling, Golden Arch was scratched from the 2000 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. The following year, he was consigned by Darby Dan Farm, agent, to the inaugural Keeneland October yearling auction. North Country Thoroughbreds purchased him for $10,000.Fasig-Tipton reported that 108 horses were sold for a gross of $1,610,000, an average price of $14,913, and a median price of 8,000. Compared to a year ago, the number sold was up by 18.7%. But the gross, average, and median declined by 5.3%, 20.2%, and 20,0%, respectively. The buy-back rate increased from 18.0% last year to 27.5% this year.The sale was conducted in Timonium, Md.

A personal injury lawyer or law firm works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. They cover cases such as burn injuries, botched surgeries, and harassment. Personal injury attorneys know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages. Many personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis, which means they receive an agreed-upon percentage of the payment you receive, also called the personal injury settlement. If you don't recover any money, they don't get paid their fee. Personal injury lawyers also know how to defend you if someone thinks an injury is your fault.

Worker hurt on the job as oil hose ruptures
Ryan Flanagan, CTV Kitchener
Published Tuesday, February 14, 2017 11:52AM EST
Last Updated Tuesday, February 14, 2017 12:38PM EST
A man was taken to hospital Tuesday morning after receiving a workplace injury at a business in Wellesley Township.
The incident brought emergency crews to Crosshill Metals on Hutchison Road around 9:30 a.m.
According to Waterloo Regional Police, an oil hose ruptured, causing oil to splash onto the worker's face.
An air ambulance was initially called to the scene, but later cancelled as the man's injuries were determined not to be serious.
While there were fears initially that the man might lose his vision, police said later in the morning that it was no longer a concern.

Expansive panoramas, stately bluffs rising against the edges of thick, forested valleys, and in the middle of it all, a city on a massive sandbar along the powerful Mississippi River. Winona is a quintessential river city rich in history, culture, arts, architecture, and natural beauty. Visitors to southeastern Minnesota will be hard-pressed to find a destination with as much to offer.
Home to the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, the river provides a backdrop for limitless wildlife—literally millions of birds—and aquatic life on the Mississippi River Flyway. At Great River Bluffs State Park, dense hardwood forests and native wildflower prairies frame the valley below. Named one of the "Best Places to See Fall Color" by CBS Minnesota, it's no wonder why it has also been chosen one of National Geographic's "World's Greatest Driving Tours."
Looking out from the highest vantage point, 450-feet about the city, is the famous Sugar Loaf landmark, which resulted from limestone quarrying in the 1880s. Native American legend ties the site to the well-known cap of Dakota Nation Chief Wapahasha, turned to stone. Outdoor enthusiasts will be keen to hike trails up the bluff to its base, offering a dramatic view point.
West of the landmark, across the bluff, sits Garvin Heights Park with equally inspiring outlooks, hiking, and restored goat prairies. Below, encircling the two-mile Lake Winona, is Lake Park. Home to the C.A. Rohrer Rose Garden, Veterans Memorial Park and Bandshell, it bestows countless amenities. Downtown, Levee Park, named for the stone levee surrounding this northeastern portion of the city, allows an up-close encounter with the legendary Mississippi River. Occasionally paddlewheel and other historic riverboats still dock here.
The city's origins and the wealth that swept the area are obvious in the lavish architecture. Walking tours of historic homes, churches, banks, and courthouse highlight the lives and culture of the people who settled here. A vast number of astounding glass art within the city, from both international and local glassmakers, has earned Winona the designation of Stained Glass Capital of the U.S. Attractions such as the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, Polish Cultural Institute and Museum, Watkins Heritage Museum, and Winona County History Center continue the storytelling of Winona's past and present.
Fine and performing arts thrive in Winona. Area artisans are abundant and places such as the Winona Art Center, Lillian Davis Hogan Gallery, and Paul Watkins gallery showcase the diverse works. Additionally, many of the artists participate in the Bluff Country Studio Arts Tour. Theatre du Mississippi, a professional company, the Performance Center at St. Mary's University, Winona State University Arts, Theatre, & Dance, and Valencia Arts Center continue to grow the development and production of arts programs.
Highlighting stage, screen, music, dance, and culture, weekend and extended festivals have become an increasingly popular draw to Winona. Mid West Music Fest (April), Dixieland Jazz Festival (June), Minnesota Beethoven Festival (June-July), six-week Great River Shakespeare Festival (June-August), Boats and Bluegrass Festival (September), and Frozen River Film Festival (February), beckon visitors to not only enjoy the arts, but to participate. The Great Dakota Gathering, held in September at Unity Park, honors the native people who inhabit this land. Created with sacred stonework and native prairie plantings, the site sets the stage for the Wacipi (pow wow), Akicita (warrior/veterans) Honor Ceremony, educational exhibits and demonstrations, and authentic crafts, arts, and foods celebrating the rich heritage of the people.
In this agricultural region, food is another great culture. The Great River Road Wine Trail, noted for its picturesque scenery, rests in the Upper Mississippi River Valley American Viticulture Area, the nation's largest. The fertile ground lends to various vineyard and wineries. A vineyard sits atop the bluff outside the city, producing choice wines, including white, rosé, red, blends, fruit and dessert wines from cold climate grapes grown on the farm and finished in oak barrels of native Minnesota oak. The Winona area also boasts two craft breweries, one in Winona and the other in Goodview.
Minnesota's best bakery, as voted in 2013, is located in Winona. Other delightful culinary options range from baked goods to thriving coffee spots and cafés, gourmet dining overlooking a golf course, and ethnic restaurants featuring Chinese, Mexican, and Thai dishes. For family-friendly and fun, historic fare, visitors can't beat a stop at the local drive-in, complete with homemade root beer and friendly carhop service.
Throughout the city, shops and boutiques offer up everything from antiques and collectibles to music and books, and specialty boutiques to recreational retailers outfitters. Stay awhile. Ample hotels, bed and breakfasts, cabins, cottages, lodges, guesthouses, and campgrounds make lodging in Winona a simple matter of choice.

All I have to say about Theresa's place is the following: 1. It's easy to find on GPS 2. The pictures did the space no justice it's better in real life 3. I put my clients in there for an event in Durban and now they refuse to stay in hotels in Durban 4. Sea- Facing; rooftop and fast WiFi (what more do you need) I give my experience a 10/10 and my host was literally a door away with any extras that's I need. Thanks for the wine T.Sunshine2016-06-07T00:00:00Z
Everything was great! We booked this flat to relax for two days while discovering South Africa and it was worth it. Not far from a shopping mall and it takes you only a 3 minute walk to the beach. You can trust the pictures :)Manuel2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
Teresa and her husband Brian gave us a warm welcome and were incredibly accommodating. The apartment is exactly as described on air B&B. It is located in one of the prime spots that umhlanga has to offer and directly overlooks the ocean. It really was the perfect retreat to be able to get away for a few days. The basics were provided i.e tea, dishwasher tablets etc which was a huge help. Thank you to you both for a lovely stay.Letitia2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved our stay. Such a nice place, has a lovely relaxing feel. Great location in a quiet neighbourhood. Teresa is a wonderful host. The only negative was that we had to leave.Lara2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
From choosing the place from the app, with beautiful & accurate pictures of the entire flat, to being welcomed by Teresa who is very friendly - this place is a gem! Our stay was an absolute pleasure with the neat and professional look and feel of a five star hotel, but the personal touch of home. The area is lovely and the beach is a one minute stroll away. All the extra anemities were more than adequate and gave that extra bit of comfort. Safe, quiet, neat and luxurious and a host that is willing to go the extra mile to make it a pleasant stay - this is the best place to stay in the Durban area! Thanks again, Teresa! Frank and Anneke.Frank2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
Great accommodation, modern and clean with all the amenities! In fact not clean but spotless and serviced daily, just as we like it! Nice sea views and a stone throw away from the beach. Location just south from Umhlanga central, so the Uber taxi service readily available and a great option here at only R 30 for a oneway trip, so you can wine and dine at your leisure. Even though the apartment is attached to the side of a very large house, it is very private with your own entrance and gated secure parking for your car. All in all this is a first class establishment and Teresa also many thanks for the advice on the surprise spa treatment for my wife (PS it's the best she has ever had!) look forward to returning here 10/10Olaf2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Teresa's apartment was just amazing. The apartment is modern, beautiful, super clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a fantastic ocean view. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and close to the shopping mall and entrance to the freeway (10 minute drive to the Durban city center). Teresa was very attentive and responsive, just a wonderful host. I would highly recommend her apartment to anyone planning to visit Durban!Naoko2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

Everything was as per the pictures, clean and orderly flat. The host was a great communicator and very kindly left us some wine and fruit. I was there with my 2 kids and wife so it was a full house but we were really comfortable. It is really central and close to a lot of the amenities. I had no issues with our stay at all.Donald2015-10-06T00:00:00Z
What a lovely place, the pictures on the website do not do the apartment justice. The rooms are well decorated with modern furniture. The apartment's overall upkeep is well maintained and beautiful. I have found the perfect apartment for all my Durban trips now. Thank you Lauren and Larry for the excellent service provide, it was truly world class.Lincoln2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Great communication before arrival, and flexible even with a late arrival. Location is good too, and the apartment itself is lovely, as well as being very clean. Thanks for the bottle of wine! We had an excellent time and wouldn't hesitate to stay next time we are in Durban- thanks Lauren and Larry :-)Robyn2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

Wir waren jetzt das zweite Mal bei Helena zu Gast, und es werden wohl in Zukunft noch einige Male hinzukommen. Wenn man schon einmal irgendwo war, glaubt man, zu wissen, wie es sein wird. Aber diesmal kam zu den altbekannten Pluspunkten wie: die Top Lage auf dem bewaldeten Hügel in Bluff, mit dem besten Blick aufs Meer, den es überhaupt in Durban gibt, das wunderbar gemütliche Appartement plus Garten, sowie die sichere Lage noch etwas dazu. Und zwar das heimelige, entspannende Gefühl nach Hause zu kommen. Wir mögen die relaxte Art, die in Bluff herrscht, nah an der Natur und doch in der Stadt. Und das wir uns hier so wohl gefühlt haben und fühlen, liegt ganz stark an der einzigartigen Gastgeberin. Vielen, lieben Dank für alles, Helena, wir haben es in vollen Zügen genossen. Wir kommen sicher wieder! Ich kann diesen Platz nur jedem ans Herz legen.Petra2017-03-02T00:00:00Z
Helena ist eine wirklich liebe und großzügige Gastgeberin mit großartigem Humor. Sie hat uns persönlich willkommen geheißen, uns Tips und Adressen gegeben. Sie ist sehr um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht. Das Haus ist genauso wie auf den Fotos und in der Beschreibung. Uns hat es sehr gefallen in Bluff zu wohnen. wenn man möchte, ist man schnell am Strand oder in Durban City. Wenn man genug vom Rummel hat, ist man schnell wieder zuhause, wo man seine Ruhe hat, und über den indischen Ozean schauen kann, mit einem Glas Wein in der Hand und den Griller anwerfen. die Aussicht und die Lage ist einzigartig. Sehr entspannend! Absolut zu empfehlen!Petra2016-04-19T00:00:00Z
Helena ist die perfekte Gastgeberin! Durch ihre ganz besondere Art sich auf ihre Gäste einzulassen, hat sie uns einen auf unsere Bedürfnisse und Wünsche maßgeschneiderten Einblick in die Sehenswürdigkeiten und Veranstaltungen in der Region zusammengestellt. Besonders herauszuheben war unserer gemeinsamer Besuch auf einem Afro Jazzkonzert im Rainbow Jazzclub in Pinetown. Dieser Ort ist einfach grandios. Helenas Beach Cottage ist sehr geschmackvoll uns hochwertig ausgestattet und von der Terrasse aus hat man einen wundervollen Blick auf den Indischen Ozean und die Brighton Beach. 2 Mal konnten wir sogar vorbeiziehende Wale und Delphine beobachten. Die Cottage wird täglich gereinigt und Wäscheservice ist eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Helena bot uns auch die Möglichkeit ihr Luxury Guesthouse im Vorort Morningside kennenzulernen. Diese Guesthouse ((URL HIDDEN) bietet vor allem anspruchsvollen Gästen und Kunstliebhabern einen besonderen Rahmen. Die stadtnahe Hanglage am Park gelegen, mit wundervollem Blick auf das Stadion und den Ozean machen den Aufenthalt zu einem besonderen Erlebnis. Nicht zu vergessen das lecker zubereitete Frühstück im Salon. Zwei ganz unterschiedliche Angebote und je nachdem, ob man gerne die Ruhe direkt am Ozean oder vielleicht doch lieber die pulsierende Stadtnähe sucht. Im Übrigen bietet Morningside ein tolles Angebot an kleinen netten Restaurants und Cafes zum Genießen. Wir hatten unvergeßliche Tage bei und mit Helena und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Danke liebe Helena!Sybille2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
Helena war eine wundervolle und großzügige Gastgeberin. Wir konnten alles aus dem Kühlschrank (auch Essig und Öl etc.) verwenden. Das Haus wurde täglich gereinigt und es standen ausreichend Handtücher zur Verfügung. Auch unsere Wäsche konnten wir waschen lassen. Die Hilfsbereitschaft, Offenheit und Gastfreundschaft von Helena zusammen mit der perfekten Lage des Hauses, haben uns 5 wundervolle Urlaubstag beschert. Wir wollten gar nicht weg von dem wundervollen Cottage. Helena, just go on like that!!!Romanie2015-11-18T00:00:00Z
Helena ist eine super Gastgeberin, sie war stets an unserem Befinden interessiert, sehr hilfsbereit und ließ uns ausreichend Privatsphäre. Die Unterkunft ist einzigartig gelegen an einem steilen Hang über dem Strand mit einem grandiosen Blick auf das unendliche Meer. Wir haben mehrere Tage dort verbracht als Familie mit zwei kleinen Kindern (1 und 3 Jahre alt). Für uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gut gepasst: + Guter Ausgangspunkt für Autofahrten nach Durban und Umgebung + Nah am Badestrand (ca. 2 Minuten Autofahrt), der auch Pools und Tidal Pools für Kinder bietet + Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für den täglichen Bedarf in der Nähe (ca. 5 Minuten Autofahrt) + Whirlpool auf Helenas Balkon ist den Gästen vorbehalten und bietet auch bei schlechtem Wetter einen tollen Blick bei entspanntem Planschen Die Küchenecke läd nicht zum ausgiebigen Kochen ein (wollten wir auch gar nicht) und der Garten hat einen für manche Kinder gefährlichen Abhang (war für uns kein Problem, da weist Helena auch immer deutlich drauf hin). Man kann wunderbar auf der Gartenschaukel entspannen, bei herrlichem Meerblick im Garten frühstücken oder den Whirlpool nutzen. Und die zwei (offen verbundenen) Räume plus Badezimmer waren für uns vier vollkommen ausreichend: Die Dreijährige hat auf einem Einzelbett in dem Zimmer mit der Kochecke geschlafen, für das Baby hatte Helena ein Babycot bereit gestellt. Wir haben die Zeit genossen. Helenas Haushälterin Thandi kam täglich, um das Cottage sauber zu halten, die Betten zu machen und abzuspülen - was für uns ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt war.Olaf2017-01-17T00:00:00Z
Amazing location, breathtaking views and great host.Petro2016-11-11T00:00:00Z
I would recommend Baileys beach cottage anyday. It is lovely accommodation, with a positive energy. The view of the ocean is perfect and we saw dolphins every day. Helena was very welcoming (with Elliot her right hand man ready to assist with everything) and i think you could ask most things of her and it would not be a problem. The accommodation is clean (serviced thoroughly on a daily basis), the beds are comfortable and the shower ... amazing :-) and the added bonus, max the dog always ready with a big lick. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to take my elderly mother on holiday. I think it's an ideal venue for a couple to stay.Bernice2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Thanks again to Helena for her tips to visit Durban, don't miss Heidi coffee for a nice breakfast. The place has a fantastic view on the ocean and it's really cozzi!Nicolas2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

This apartment is stunning!!! The apartment is located on the sixth and seventh floors of a very modern building with a doorman. It it felt very safe. The first floor is a wall of windows with an amazing unobstructed view of the ocean. The wall of glass actually folds against the walls so it is just open space from the living room dining room and terrace. The Kitchen is new and very functional. Awesome washer and dryer and a dishwasher. We opted to have a house keeper service the apartment everyday. She was lovely and did a great job. On the second floor are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both bedrooms have a balcony with the same view looking onto the ocean. You can actually here the waves! The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. Meredith was so helpful and always available when we had a question. The location was great, less than ten minutes to the Durban Convention Center. We travel for work frequently and this apartment was a gem. We HIGHLY recommend it!Franck and Joshua2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
The place was beautiful and as advertised. The walkway to the beach and uShaka was awesome and convenient. And our host were great. They met us with the key, provided us with a "things to do guide in Durban", answered our questions and offered to assist with any other questions. They also left us with great welcome gifts like a bottle of wine, local beer and light snacks. I would recommend this host and place to other travelers in Durban.Nikia2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

My stay was FANTASTIC... Meredith and baby Zoe were on hand to welcome us on our arrival and the way they welcomed us made us feel like they were loving relatives we just hadn't seen in a while. Meredith kept constant communication the whole time and has decorated her apartment in a way that brings such a homely ambience to it. I have found a new holiday home in Durban : >) Thank you so much Meredith. You made our Durban stay memorable.sipho2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Delightful Experience - Amazing Host Firstly - Durban was the last stop for my friends and I on our adventure through South Africa. We planned for this stop to be the city where we would relax and unwind before we left for another round of flights. That being said, the major requirement for us was have a clear beach view and to be in proximity to the Moses Mahbiba Stadium where the majority of Essence Festival Events were scheduled to take place. It also goes without saying that we expected a charming condo, that was clean and in a safe environment. Meredith and Marco surpassed our expectations. Arrival Meredith and I coordinate our meeting time and location a few days prior to my arrival. Due to storms on Johannesburg, we were a bit nervous we would not make our flight in time causing us to miss our meeting time with Meredith. I contacted Meredith immediately to make her aware of the potential delay to planned arrival time. She was very responsive and encouraging. Fortunately - We were able to make our flight and landed on time in Durban. After our 25 minute Uber ride, we arrived at the location and found Meredith waiting for us. Perfect timing. *Note* Meredith provides very descriptive instructions of how to get to the condo. Due to construction, knowing this detail helped us navigate the area and arrive at our destination. Condo Meredith escorted us in to the unit, which was exactly what we viewed in the preview photos. We were very impressed by the unit. It is a two story condo with a master bath and secondary bathroom on the second and 1/2 bath on the first floor. The bedrooms each have balconies that open and provide a beautiful view of the ocean. Mornings are the best time to enjoy the sun and wind. To top it off, we were met by a lovely bottle of wine courtesy of Meredith and Marcos. *Note* basic amenities were provided (towels, wash clothes and even beach towels). The host even gave us access to their coffee and tea stash. Please follow the host instructions for this area as well. Utilities / Amenities We had access to a wash and dryer, wifi and a few other items. *Note* We believe a switch was disable on the dryer cause for the heating element not function. Meredith and Marcos experienced this issue before due to their close proximity to salt water, and made plans to address. There was also a noticeable smell in the condo that we could not define. There were no pets in the apartment so we were not sure if it was residual from rain or from being so close to the ocean. We also brought this to the host attention and they are investigating. *Very Important Note* wifi is available but not freely provided. Meredith is able to select a bundle package through her Telekom service. We had the most trouble in this area as the...Kira2016-11-09T00:00:00Z

Das Apartment ist wirklich perfekt gelegen, man hat eine tolle Aussicht und alles ist sehr schön eingerichtet. Wir waren zu 4. und mussten daher die Luftmatratze und den Sofa benutzen, das wussten wir aber ja im Vorhinein und deshalb war das auch in Ordnung. Die Lage und die schöne Ausstattung haben das wieder wett gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit Ahmed hat auch perfekt funktioniert und er war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Host is amazing & excellent to accommodate Airbnb guests. All of the appliances are new & very functional for our extended 3 week stay. Oven was spotless. Dishwasher was so convenient. Unit has a toaster, tea pot & carrot peeler (super handy after grocery shopping). Aircon works well on hot days & shower has super hot water. Spar grocery & Tops within walking or driving not too far. Best Breakfast on the beach promenade is Circus Circus within walking distance. Best night cap on the beach is Moyo on the pier. Don't miss Ushaka, an entire outdoor mall with shopping & restaurants. 24 hour desk attendants were friendly. Wi-Fi was free the first day. Secure parking was really helpful. So close to the beach (out the front door) we watched multiple magnificent sun rises @ 5:30am. Great coffee @ the 1st building on the beach or the mobile truck in the surfer's parking lot in front of the building. Not an ideal location for nightlife since most of the beach closes @ 6pm & the building is quiet in the nighttime. Perfect spot if you love the beach & the waves-don't miss it.Mia2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

In unmittelbarer nähe gibt es leckere Restaurant und auch zur belebten Strandpromenade ist es mit dem Auto nicht weit! Louise gab uns viele Ausflugstips und war sehr hilfsbereit. Thanks a lot!!Karin-Diana2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
Lou's cottage was everything we hoped it would be and more. Very spacious and tastefully decorated. Louise is a wonderful host, friendly, helpful and accommodating above and beyond. She stocked the fridge, so we didn't even need to run to the store before we arrived. I was in Durban with my son and daughter-in-law to look at houses, so didn't spend a lot of time in the cottage, but it was absolutely perfect for our needs. I would definitely stay there again if the need arose.Renne2016-01-10T00:00:00Z
Myself and 3 male cousins stayed at this lovely rental hosted by Louise. She was an excellent host and the cottage was very nice. We had our own parking space and free access to the well-secured facility. The room was spacious and airy. The air-conditioner was very useful. Louise left clean towels for each of us as well beach towels. The kitchen had sufficient utensils and the condiments for tea and coffee were a bonus. The bathroom was well sized and very comfortable. She also allowed us to use her braai stand. Overall, a very nice stay in a lovely cottage. Definitely worth a revisitIrshaad2015-12-24T00:00:00Z
Welcoming and friendly host. Was available even though we arrived quite late. Lovely cottage to stay in.Keval2015-12-06T00:00:00Z
Louise and her family were extremely welcoming, had very kindly stocked the fridge with milk, juice, and some yoghurts, and had left a bowl of snacks. The apartment is a spacious bedroom/lounge with bathroom in a lovely suburb of Durban with views from the family's garden right out over the city and the ocean. Basic cooking equipment (everything I needed), towels, and bedding all provided. A fairly wide selection of restaurants within ten mins walk, lots of security in the area so felt very safe. A great base and lovely hosts.Damian2015-10-21T00:00:00Z

From the booking stages I already felt Hassiem's warmness. Booking was quickly confirmed and accepted. The place was as listed and much more. It had all the home appliances etc. Whatever extra we required was organised by Hassiem without any hassle. Him and his wife even brought some kiddies movies for our kids to watch, which they enjoyed. We were across the road from the North Beach, all Take Away places like Wimpy, Steers etc. were just across the road. We did not have parking inside the building but we parked across the road and there were 24hr security guards looking after the parking, we did not experience any theft etc. There were also regular police patrolls around the area. We had a wonderfull week and would recommend this accommodation to anyone anytime.Jason2015-01-10T00:00:00Z
I could not be happier with my choice to stay at this apartment in Durban. My host, Hassiem, is a very gracious, welcoming and generous man. The apartment was just as described on his listing and more. The location was perfect for easy access to the beach, restaurants and local hotels. Even though the weather was not the usual sunny Durban while I was there, access to the piers and all the local amenities and culture was easily accessible and easy to get to. Because of the proximity of other hotels, taxis were readily available at all hours. The apartment had more than enough space for me. It had everything I needed for my stay. The place was clear and fresh smelling. The place was secure and had a round-the-clock security/lobby assistant. I did not experience any issues with noisy neighbors event during weekend nights. Hassiem was great at communicating with me and working out arrangements. He offered to pick me and other conference attendees up at the airport for an additional fee. This was very helpful as we arrived late and were not too sure how the conference shuttles would work. This allowed us to go straight to locations without having to share a large bus with multiple people. Hassiem is very open to sharing about himself and his context in Durban and also very interested in learning about his guests. I highly recommend this listing. Thanks Hassiem!Francisco2015-07-27T00:00:00Z
Great service from Hassiem. He really responds quickly and will help with any matter pertaining to the needs in the house. It was a great experience and in a lovely central location in Durban close to Ushaka Marine World.Vije2015-08-10T00:00:00Z
Hassiem was very friendly and flexible with our travel plans (which were very last minute). The location is great and a minute walk from the beach. The pictures were accurate in depicting the listing and the beds were very comfortable. Only issues were a small cockroach problem and the TV was tricky to use. The WiFi wasn't working but Hassiem was very helpful by telling us about near-by locations where we could find WiFi.Diana2015-06-09T00:00:00Z
This place is cozy and great for families. You can walk the entire Golden Mile going towards the left to the Umgeni river passing Moses Mabhida Stadium and as far as Ushaka on the right when facing the North Beach accessing a vast number of restaurants, mini marts, and souvenir shops. Hassiem is an exceptionally good host and ensures that clients are comfortable and have the things they need for a comfortable stay. We celebrated my son's birthday in Durban and he ensured that we had a for a cake for him. Such great memories! You can't go wrong staying here. You leave feeling like you have gained a family member.Narissa2017-04-15T00:00:00Z
As a first time Airbnb user, I'm pretty sure I struck the jackpot in having Hassiem as my host. I mean, the whole experience was just outstanding. First of all, the apartment was amazing! It was thoroughly clean and well equipped. You even have access to 500 movies in Hassiem's collection. As a bonus, the apartment is right next to the beach where you'll find some pretty cool restaurants and beach bars. As a host, Hassiem went above an beyond to ensure that my stay, not only in his place, but in Durban was successful. From organized airport pickups to being shown where the best place to have a hearty breakfast (Nino's by the way), he made me feel at home in a few hours. I definitely recommend him and his place for anyone looking for a nice quiet and tidy place to call home for a few days and I'm looking forward to heading back there in a few months.Irvine2013-05-19T00:00:00Z
Nice one bedroom apt. right across from the beach in Durban. Several restaurant options within walking distance. Joe Cool's is right across the street if you are looking for a boozy night. 10 min walk up the beach is Circus Circus where you can have breakfast on the beach. Apt. was clean and tidy and safe. It is on the first floor so the street gets noisy outside early in the morning. Hassiem met me at the apt. and was just a phone call away if I needed anything. Towels in the bath and although we didn't cook the kitchen had all the necessary cutlery and crockery.Russell2015-06-01T00:00:00Z
Hassiem and his family were always available to answer for my questions, they were friendly. The flat, in front of the beach is well located, and clean. It was enough for 4 people. I will book without hésitations this flat for my family if I had to come back in Durban.Edouard2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

The apartment was spot on as the pictures showed, right on the beach. The host was very helpful and accommodating. Also arranged a brand new baby cot for us. There was even some basics in the fridge, milk, bread, cool drinks. Good value for money!Thomas2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
Beautiful flat with a great view. Perfect for young families as the tide pools are great for small children and adults for swimming. Great and friendly contact to Leigh-Anne, who was a wonderful host. Thanks again!Sarel2017-03-10T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay and would highly recommend this spot, certainly suits us more off peak as its most quietly enjoyable:) all amenities required and a satisfactory comfort level! The gas braai needs some fixing, and I would take my own pillows in future, otherwise Leigh-Anne was a lovely host and we were very happy with our choice. The view and ocean crashing on the doorstep,just complete the entire experience perfectly.Chantel2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Dear Leigh-Anne, thank you for staying in your flat with a grat view over the ocean. We enjoyed the time. Thank you. Inge & GerdInge2016-11-28T00:00:00Z
Excellent accommodation with easy no hassles owner. The location on the oceanfront couldn't have been better and the security gives a great sense of security. Great destination to relax with no frills.Tatenda2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

We had such a great time in Durban even if the rain didn't let us see it in all its glory. Stephanie and Greg were fantastic hosts, always keen to help and advise us on what's around locally and in Durban. The flat is very nice and well equipped. With everything you need for a short self catered stay (including a braii!) . We would happily go back.Jonathan2015-11-15T00:00:00Z
Wow, what a property to be able to stay in. Extremely well located in the centre of Durban, close to Florida Road with all its nice bars, cafes and restaurants. The property was very spacious, clean and had all the mod cons required to enhance our stay in Durban and wifi which is a must when you are travelling with children. Stephanie and Greg are wonderful hosts and were always on hand if needed.Marcus2016-04-07T00:00:00Z
Great location, excellent hosts - will definitely return.Andrew2017-04-08T00:00:00Z
I loved it! We all did. Clean, safe, spacious rooms, friendly hosts. Accurate description. We had the property to ourselves and enjoyed dinner under the stars. They have mosquito nets and bug spray. Neighborhood is close to Musgrave Mall and within driving distance to the beach. Suitable for families, friends and if you want to splurge, a single traveller too. Well worth the stay I tell you!Nontobeko Lynette2016-02-20T00:00:00Z

Natalie's place was a great venue. We found that the value for your money is really good here. The Ocean view is just like the photos, no special sneeky tactics used there. Ocean views from lounge, bedroom and kitchen. There are a bunch of dogs but they are all super friendly. We were lucky enough to have a large school of dolphins visit on our last day.Steven2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
The apartment we stayed in was awesome, overlooking the beach and also a pool right in front! Unfortunately we were just passing through so only stayed one night .. Thanks Natalie for being such a friendly and helpfull host!Anja2016-09-27T00:00:00Z
If you want to visit Durban, I would highly recommend Natalie's place. The house was clean and the view is awesome. The place is well located and you will find anything you need nearby. I will surely visit Natalie's place when visiting Durban again.Lorenzo2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
Thank you so much Natalie for being an amazing host. You really made our stay very comfortable in your beautiful home. Our whale sightings daily made it that extra special. We will definately be back.Danielle2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Natalie is such a kind host! Very accommodating as well. I needed to check in early because my flight came in early and she made sure someone was there to let me in. Gavin was very helpful as well. :-) The view of the ocean was beautiful. You could see it from the living room, dinning, kitchen, and bedroom! Perfect! The beach was walking distance as noted.Chanel 2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Natalie is such a lovely host, she communicated very well and made us feel at home. Het place has a stunning view at the ocean with all the comfort you need. It is wise to arrange your own car or use a taxi, because there is no public transport.Meike2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

Absolutely stunning apartment in a beautiful resort, Mohammed is a wonderful host, I would recommend him and this place 100 times over. Thank you for making our honeymoon specialHeather2016-11-17T00:00:00Z
The breakers resort is a nice place for leisure and a value for money stay considering the facilities and the location. Mohammed was a great host and was always willing to assist. The only negative of our stay was the aircon. Mohammed, tried his best to assist with this as well. However, the resort should look into this problem as it seems to be a problem through out the other flats as well.Rajesh2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Mohammed was very responsive to our communications. His place was a very place to relax. The hotel has a great pool area for the kids and it's just a minute or so walk to the beach, down a very nicely paved wilderness path. The apartment is well enough equipped. Internet connection was great. Download speed was north of 15Mbps download and about the same upload. Ping was under 50ms. King size bed in the master and two twin beds in the second bedroom. Plenty of room for a family of 4. The living room was comfortable for 4. Parking is a piece of cake. Assigned spot in the basement garage and elevator is very handy to the parking space. Staff of the Breaker's Resort was top notch. Very friendly. There is a nature reserve next to the resort that you can walk through. We even saw monkeys in the parking lot in front of the registration desk. Only a 3 or 4 minute drive to a HUGE mall (I guess it's the largest in Africa). Only a minute drive to several restaurants. And there is food delivery from one of those places that will deliver food from many different restaurants. (We used that a LOT.) We definitely enjoyed our stay here and would heartily recommend Mohammed's apartment to anyone.Dan2017-02-27T00:00:00Z
Fast friendly and professional service. Would not hesitate to return and would definitely recommend to all (family and friends included). Thanks very much Mohammed!Joelene2017-02-06T00:00:00Z

I've used air bnb for almost all my trips in the past few years and can say that this flat for the price & location is the best I've experienced & Vikesh is a brilliant host. He was always easy to contact, accommodating & provided little extras that made the stay so much better (soaps, towels, even Belgium chocolates, soda & milk!). We had safe off street parking. The flat is large, new floors, fixtures & appliances. Kitchen has everything you need & is spotless. Would definitely stay here again & highly recommend it.David2016-06-29T00:00:00Z
What an amazing apartment, very comfortable, spacious and everything needed was in the apartment – even complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, milk, coldrinks – wow, felt like a home away from home! The apartment is very close to shops, the beach and other activities. There is transport right outside the apartment and uber is just a request away, getting around could never be easier! My family and I were blown away by how friendly, warm, down to earth and professional our host was, he was always just a message away, full of recommendations, gave us safety tips AND even drove us to the apartment on arrival and took us back to the station on our departure too!! Vikesh, my family and I salute you! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will surely return!Melissa 2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Brilliant! My stay at Crestmore was an absolute joy. I was down from Cape Town on business for six nights. Vikesh went above and beyond in making my stay a comfortable one. The apartment was squeaky clean, modern and fully fitted. Ample cupboard space within a large bedroom, full DSTV bouquet, nice view overlooking the stadium and a stones throw from the beach and amenities. Vikesh was kind, accommodating and always contactable. The building has 24 hour security with friendly and helpful guards. For a stress and hassle free stay in Durban, I highly recommend this accommodation.Tylon2016-06-01T00:00:00Z
Vikesh was really helpful and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. Apartment is 3 min walk from the boardwalk and beach and close to stadium, cafe's etc. Safe neigbourhood and security in the building. We were 4 people staying, just enough space. Perfect for a couple!Aud2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at Vikesh's place. The flat is very cozy and had everything we needed and it's at a safe location. Vikesh gave us lots of useful tips and responded ultra quickly on What's App. We would definitely come back again when in Durban.Selina2017-02-08T00:00:00Z

Had such a lovely stay at Nevenka's flat. Very clean and modern interior with an amazing view of the ocean! Great location as well. Nevenka was very accommodating. We only booked the accommodation at about 9pm the night before and Nevenka replied straight away. She was also very accommodating with regards to meeting us at the accommodation as we were not sure what time we were going to arrive. We will definitely be staying here again next time we are in Durban.Mark2016-12-09T00:00:00Z
A beautiful place to enjoy Durban's beaches more closely.JK2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
Nevenka and Arthur have been great hosts from the time of our booking until our departure. They even went an extra mile of keeping track of our journey until our arrival. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by her and her husband into their beautiful, clean and modern furnished flat. The flat is big enough to cater for a family of four with one of the best sea views I have ever seen. It is a few metres from the beach and the famous USHAKA MARINE WORLD. The Christmas gift she had for us was a cherry on top. We will definitely use her services in future and recommend family and friends to use her services. Book her home and you won't regret it!

Ally's self catering apartment is one of the best we have stayed at. From a location perspective it is easy to find and very central within Umhlanga. You are able to drive or Uber and get to the beach or mall within 5 minutes. The apartment is the best I have stayed at from a cleanliness and stocked perspective. Ally ensured we had everything needed while we were there, from dishes, washing machine to bubble bath for the kiddies. In addition, the apartment is privately situated, should you enjoy a quieter time while away.Brendon 2017-04-06T00:00:00Z
This was a nice find. The hosts put in a lot of extra touches- hair dryer, washing machine, that I wish I took better advantage of. It got us off to a great start and nice to be away from the high rises of the town. Pleasant hosts.Jill2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

And as they say, it's the small things - some snacks & juice in the fridge, and a plunger with filter coffee (at most places you only get those old instant coffee sachets). Thanks guys, will be back for sure!Llewelyn2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

These are important questions in a complex and ever changing environment. At Primeast, we work closely with progressive organisations to make successful change happen. With a focus on engaging people and creating vision alignment, in order to deliver sustainable improvement in your bottom line results, we ensure change is achieved in an inclusive and bespoke way.
It's important for us to be responsive, adaptable and build a trusted partnership with you and your organisation. We're outcome focused and use proven methodologies to systematically diagnose, design and facilitate the delivery of sustainable and measurable transformation and performance.
Primeast recognises that many organisations face similar issues but each is different and the challenges are unique. Our facilitators and coaches have many years of experience supporting companies with incremental or transformational change challenges. These include:-
We put people at the heart of our approach to organisational development and change by aligning actions to the Purpose and Vision. This includes effective leadership, creating a compelling vision and inspiring others to utilise their strengths to deliver that vision. We use a series of methodologies and frameworks, selecting those that are most appropriate to our clients' situation. These include our diagnostic and planning framework, PrimeFocus. This has as its starting point the need for a compelling purpose to achieve 'KPI Results' and 'Sustainable Success'. At the heart of the PrimeFocus model everything must be aligned to a purpose that is consistent with stakeholder perspectives. This acts as a catalyst for the development of a change strategy. We work with you to design the relevant interventions and facilitate the required transformation. To learn more about building a purposeful organisation, read Clive Wilson's book 'Designing the Purposeful Organisation'.
In some scenarios we will utilise Cultural Transformation Tools (CTT) to deliver cultural diagnostics and value assessment. By measuring current culture, identifying the culture you need and creating a map of how to get there, businesses can affect real change in a deep and meaningful way.
CTT surveys gather valuable information that forms the basis of change initiatives, cultural transformation, diversity interventions, talent management and leadership development. They also help companies understand what motivates their employees and create actionable values that resonate with everyone.
We use other approaches, including the analysis of emotional intelligence, the change curve, 'traffic lights', effective communications strategies; and many others. Since we are not prescriptive or inflexible in our approach, we adopt methodologies that best suit our clients' situation.
In order to thrive, organisations need to adapt successfully – something that isn't easy without expert help.
Primeast is committed to working with organisations to facilitate the necessary change in the most effective and efficient way possible.
With facilitators around the globe, we deliver bespoke interventions that align with the local context and global organisational needs.
To learn more about how Primeast can help you deliver successful organisational development and change management, please contact us.
Phillip Curry, Shift Leader, Arqiva
I have learnt more from this Active Management Programme than I thought, and am finding it very useful, especially the telephone coaching. My Coach, Daniel Pettigrew is very switched on, analysing my modus operandi and giving me some pointers to upping my game. Clearly Primeast was a good choice.
Interestingly, before the merger the organisation ran a similar, but far more extensive course on management called the One Day Series. It was at a similar time to this, in that the management wished to make changes to the culture of the organisation. I don't believe it ever really delivered any of the desired outcomes. A dreadful waste of money and a 'lose, lose' outcome. As there are defined outcomes required from the delegates in this instance, this will succeed, where the previous attempt failed. So this will be a 'win, win'!
I remember being fairly cynical when we were first briefed about the Primeast programme – so reflecting on that I've learned not to prejudge the situation, give it a chance and don't rush to judgement. Thank you for the opportunity to take part and I will continue to contribute to our team's effort to make things better.

I worked at Everything But Water full-time (More than a year)
Discount is good, pay is ok. Hours for part timers don't usually get cut. Communication between stores is fantastic. Company is a good one to work for.
Slow season is slooooow and can be boring.
Helpful (1)
I worked at Everything But Water full-time (Less than a year)
The company has highend quality swimwear that can compete with any of the other upscale department stores.
Being that the company is a highend swimwear boutique you would expect to have very well trained swimwear consultants to give the ultimate experience to the customers, no so. Training is a definite thumbs down and the pay and hours is not good.
Advice to Management
Put more serious time in training the workers.
I have been working at Everything But Water full-time (More than a year)
-Corporate is heavily involved in retail environment
-Reinforces specialty contributions vs. department store contributions
-Quality training program
-Embraces diversity
-Fun-filled work environment
-Growth opportunities are endless
I only have one con-
I am at the highest form of management at my location. My contributions to the company and growth in the last couple of years, speak for itself. I have found that the compensation does not meet skills/qualifications of various associates, including myself.
Advice to Management
The success at which your company reaches is primarily based off how you value your employees. Compensation plays a great roll in the retention of your employees. Employee turn-over is guaranteed to decrease, too. Know when you have five-star employees and benefit them accordingly. Know when an employee is irreplaceable.

The hotel is well located in the ctre of Kosice, room are very clean and well appointed. Breakfast is reasonable being included in the price, but the restaurant area should be airconditioned, or they should take care to tunr the AC on. The gym would help. Overall at less than 60 Eur excellent value for money.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Family Hotel Ambassador**** is located in the Košice municipal preserve. The original old part of the hotel is a protected cultural monument and its origin dates back to the period around the second half of the 13th century. Hotel Ambassador is located in the Košice municipal preserve. The building originally served as a dwelling house and underwent several reconstructions in the past. The present complex look is the result of a reconstruction in combination with an additional building and a new building completed in September 2009. The hotel is established in the pedestrian zone in Main Street near the oldest and the most interesting cultural sights, such as the St. Elizabeth's Cathedral, the National Theatre, the Andrássy Palace, and others. We offer accommodation in 5 single rooms, 16 double rooms, and two luxury apartment-type rooms.
