Guests will awaken on Saturday morning to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pastries baking in the oven. Breakfast will be served on the terrace overlooking Boulders Beach, followed by Chef Dustin’s breadmaking workshop and a light lunch.

The afternoon will be free for relaxation. Book a spa treatment or a water activity, explore the treasures of Simon’s Town or watch penguins play on the beaches along the boardwalk.

Guests will gather late in the afternoon for an Italian Pasta Masterclass with Chef Dustin, followed by an Italian family-style dinner. The chef will make full use of Tintswalo Boulders’ open kitchens to interact with guests while preparing meals. Chef Dustin began his career in Durban at Hartford House and Nambithi Hills after attending the 1000 Hills Chef School in KwaZulu-Natal. In 2017, he started as a pastry chef at Tintswalo Atlantic before moving up to sous chef and then to Tintswalo Boulders as head chef.

Weekend rates for two people start at R13 135 and include luxury accommodation for two nights (Friday, 16 June and Saturday, 17 June), as well as all meals and selected beverages served during the culinary experiences.
