Tip of Africa Nursery is a small, yet richly populated retail space situated in Napier, on the R316 at the centre of the Overberg. From the moment you step into the nursery, youโ€™re surrounded by such a glorious abundance of plants, trees and flowers, itโ€™s hard to know where to start.
Which is where Etienne enters the picture. โ˜˜๐ŸŒต

Etienne and his team have more than 20 yearsโ€™ experience of waterwise plant-growing in the area, and they can advise precisely what to grow with success in your garden, whether you live at the coast or in the Ruens.

If you need help with planning or planting, Tip of Africa Nursery is ready to help you create that meadow, cottage garden, or simply a landscape of indigenous fynbos.

And while you are there, be sure to stop for a coffee and a bite at Moerse Farmstall.

I finally spent some time sitting in front of Napierโ€™s landmark sundial today. Iโ€™ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the "accurate within 30 seconds" claim, but right at noon, the shadow hit the 12 o'clock mark perfectly. Not bad for a sundial built by a local novice back in 1965!

The story behind it is pretty cool. It was the brainchild of Danie du Toit, who got obsessed with sundials after reading a newspaper article on sundials written by the famous Afrikaans author C.J. Langenhoven back in 1936. He spent 18 months painstakingly marking every single minute line using nothing but the movement of the sun.

Fast forward to today, and itโ€™s famous for being the largest and, as far as anyone knows, one of only two vertical sundials in South Africa. (The small one is at the Castle in Cape Town!). It just got a fresh facelift this month (Feb 2026) thanks to the Napier Heritage and Conservation Body and the talented sign painter Paul Gray.
Next time youโ€™re near the municipal buildings on Newmark Street, stop and see if your watch matches the sun!

Author Hanna Botsis will be in conversation with veteran legal journalist Carmel Rickard.

In this intimate memoir, Hannah Botsis chronicles life as a ministerโ€™s daughter in post-apartheid South Africa. Through the lens of her fatherโ€™s forty-year ministry at a Presbyterian church in Cape Townโ€™s northern suburbs, she explores faith, family, and racial privilege with unflinching honesty. A meditation on grace and belonging, this story illuminates how communities navigate change while wrestling with their complicated histories.
