Awesome Newsletter

Awesome Newsletter! When I see the newsletter pop-up in my mailbox; I go make some coffee, sit back and read. I’ve discovered great coffee spots, and a few very interesting facts.
Basically, if the newsletter was subscription based, I would be a subscriber.

Stellenbosch Brief is in on the joke

Living in Stellenbosch feels like an inside joke only the Stellenbosch Brief and I get. It's so funny, well written and I like the extra addition of upcoming events that are happening in town. Nobody gets it like the Stellenbosch Breif does. Fr fr.

Worth making the time

I read each "issue" of the Stellenbosch Brief like I read my morning paper; my day can start off properly if I don't!

The Stellenbosch Brief is topical and speaks to our everyday shared experiences in this lovely town.

The comical tongue-in-the-cheek tone makes me laugh at what I can't change, and this helps me to simply accept it.
