For those of you not rushing down to the coast, instead choosing to really relax at home and enjoy the leafy green traffic-free streets of Jozi over the Christmas and New Year period, you may be wondering if you shouldn’t splash out a bit and treat your family to Christmas at The Westcliff, or whether you should kick up your heels to see in the New Year.
If so, look no further than The Westcliff’s La Belle Terrasse restaurant. For a long lazy sumptuous Christmas lunch or dinner, enjoying an astonishing array of dishes created by Executive Chef Nicky Gibbs, served alongside the hotel’s fabulous views over the forested suburbs of the city.
It is likely to be a truly memorable Christmas. Not only will Father Christmas be there to entertain the children, but there will also be a large baobab-inspired wishtree on which you can hang your end of year wish. It is a traditional African belief that the baobab tree was planted upside down with its roots exposed to the sky, sending your special wish up and out into the universe.
Talking about our renowned views, there aren’t many places in the city that are better positioned to marvel at the New Year fireworks lighting up the Jozi skyline than the outdoor terrace of La Belle Terrasse. Add to that the dance-inspired music of ABBA and a magnificent New Year menu with crayfish, sushi, rack of lamb and guinea fowl - to name but a few of the dishes - as well as a tempting selection of yummy deserts, and you are well on your way to having a very Happy New Year.
