This unique taste and smell bring a delightful taste and heat to your meal.

I had the privilege of passing through Crestholme and finding a hidden gem.
A place where, if I had to try and describe myself,(what my passions are) I would point to this place.
Imagine, the most amazing view of inanda dam, Great coffee, bookstore, nursery, thrift shop, small church, play area for the kids and more.
The name is Pilgrims Rest Tea garden
We were met with friendly faces, great conversations and just to put it out there, these Pilgrims found Rest here😉

For anyone looking for a new coffee shop to visit, this will become a frequent visiting place

UPDATE ON MY LADY OF THE NIGHT!

This unique jungle plant typically blooms from early summer through mid-autumn. Dragon fruit cactus is a night blooming plant and the flowers last only one evening. If you want to see the spectacular display, head out with a flashlight in the dark of night, or visit your garden very early in the morning.
