Eat like a local
Uzor put together some easy steps every host can follow to prevent hosting from becoming more of a chore than a reward.
“Some of our most enthusiastic hosts are so dedicated to their guests having an exceptional stay that they’re challenged to find their own time and resources for themselves,” says Uzor. “They’re givers and sometimes givers swing too far into that giving activity.”
The saying “You have to taste a culture to understand it” certainly holds very true for the South African. Food in the Johannesburg South Africa is a melting pot of cultural influences that have been blended with the islands’ natural bounty of fruits, spices and ocean-fresh seafood. Here are our top picks of places to experience authentic Creole cuisine:

Fishmonger
Oysters were good and the kabeljou was very good. Mussels were not as good as we have had elsewhere. Service was poor but the restaurant was relatively busy with a lot of youngsters loudly on their phones – not the restaurants fault but it did make the experience unpleasant. Lots of food pornogrophers

Mozambik Linksfield
With its roots firmly set in passion and its flavours unapologetically Afro Porto, the Mozambik restaurant group is fast becoming one of South Africa’s leading dining brands. From its launch as a single store in Ballito, Kwa-Zulu Natal circa 15 years ago, the brand has seen rapid growth over the past half-decade, now totaling 18 stores nationally. Later in 2019, the Mozambik brand will also expand north of the Limpopo with its first international store scheduled to open in Lusaka. Chef Brett Michelien has, over time, developed a range of bastings, sauces and rubbing spices that has become Mozambik’s trademark. The menu is inspired by Afro-Porto cuisine with a rich tapestry of flavour the common denominator across an eclectically styled offering. From traditional fare such as prawns through to Mozambik’s famous chicken, the menu offers a wide variety of taste experiences.

CGRSA Properties has been the best platform for me because of the people that I met, the money that i make, if any problem comes up costumer service is ALWAYS there. Literally the guys are trying their best! My profile has over 160 reviews and all my listings are book 3 months ahead!
In the past, these types of services have been used largely by thrifty tourists looking for the cheapest place they can find in a particular city. Now, however, more and more business travelers and professionals are looking to WP Rentals for a unique and memorable experience.
