 Locals! When was the last time you visited Plett's world-famous landmark – the Beacon Isle Timeshare Resort? As Table Mountain is to Cape Town, Beacon Isle is to Plett. There are three restaurants, ranging from an informal coffeeshop-type deli, to a very upmarket fine-dining restaurant – all with spectacular views of the beautiful ocean. Next time you plan on dining out, visit the Beacon Isle. Fine dining with awesome views is on your doorstep.  

 Look out for next week's edition in which we report on a rather special affair. It's the tale about Harry the Elephant (from the Knysna Elephant Park) and how he tries his hand (or shall I say 'trunk') at winemaking.
