We shot at a stunning wine bar in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It sits along the famous “Stanley Street” strip in Richmond Hill. They offer all sorts of wines and platters. Here is their video profile!
Restaurants
Salt
Salt is a Restaurant & Bar along the famous “Stanley Street” Strip in Richmond Hill, Port Elizabeth. It’s very successful & popular, especially as a venue for birthday parties & other functions. We were pleased to shoot their video profile for them. We captured it on a very busy night! The final product looks great, Enjoy! :)
Nanaga Farm Stall
If you’ve never been to the Nanaga Farm Stall………….you simply HAVE to stop and enjoy the “Nanaga Experience”. As the old saying goes; “You don’t know what you’re missing until you have had it!”
Located comfortably between rolling hills, it’s conveniently located at the intersection of three main routes, namely the N2, R10 and R72. It lies 50km from Port Elizabeth, the Eastern Cape’s largest city.
It’s nicknamed “The Clover Leaf” because the convergence of these roads creates a clover leaf shape when viewed from the air.
If you are familiar with Nanaga, or a regular visitor, then you already know of the treasure trove of delights behind the impressive and massive front door!
We were thrilled to shoot their video profile for them, which you can check out below! They are so famous for their “Roosterbrood” – a real south african treat – not to mention their meat pies!

Coming from Cape Town I’m used to my fair share of nightlife ………….. but Friar Tucks was something else altogether!
A classic nightclub in the heart of Grahamstown, South Africa, with a massive dance floor and 2 bars, you won’t be coming home until the early hours of the morning!
It’s been voted as South Africa’s number 1 nightclub.
I absolutely loved the vibe at this venue………. it was packed with students and everyone was having a great time!
I love the music – they often have popular DJs in for the night.
Listen to DJ Skullet’s mix from when he played there in August last year:

I’ve always heard stories about The Rat & Parrot in Grahamstown, South Africa.
But I never believed them until I saw for myself the raucous behaviour that goes on amongst its devoted patrons – 90% of them students from nearby Rhodes University!
Our ‘Crew’ for the night!
Some of the drunk students we captured on film are hilarious and absolutely perfect to truly capture the atmosphere and essence of what you can expect here!
We had so much fun and it was an honour shooting their profile for them.
Everyone there was game and put their best foot forward when the camera was rolling…………. Thank you!
The Mount Nelson Hotel
Skybok’s team had the pleasure of filming Mount Nelson’s video profile here in Cape Town, South Africa.
It’s one of my favourite venues we’ve had the pleasure of profiling.
The hotel is home to many international tourists, including movie stars and travelling politicians.
Along with its high teas, it’s well-known for its brand new Planet Bar and its many ballrooms.
Shooting this was very exciting – the staff were extremely friendly and while doing it we got to witness a wedding they were having in their beautiful gardens.
For best viewing quality, make sure to set the viewing settings to 1080p HD by clicking on the cog at the bottom right-hand corner of the video below.
The reason this is one of my favourites is because The Mount Nelson Hotel offers a large variety of services to its guests – it acts as a wedding venue, a function venue, a conference venue and not to mention its fantastic spa!
I record all my voice overs with professional sound engineer Frank Smuts.
The Brass Bell
For best viewing quality, make sure to set the viewing settings to 1080p HD by clicking on the cog at the bottom right-hand corner of the video.
Bordering the waters of Kalk Bay’s gorgeous ocean, The Brass Bell is actually a lot bigger than I realised.
Going there to shoot their profile was enlightening because apart from the main restaurant that we all know and love (The Bikini Deck), there is also the Cabin Bar & Restaurant, The Water’s Edge Restaurant, The Pavilion and the Izannes fine dining restaurant!
Shooting was an absolute dream; the owner is very friendly and we were pleased with the great weather we got!
It’s always packed with people and I can see why.
It’s definitely a hot spot for a functions – birthday parties, cocktail parties or corporate functions – because of the great views, reasonable prices, efficient service and also because the whole area has such a rich history.
Check out their website for more info on opening times and contact details: THE BRASS BELL
Watch their video (at the top) and I guarantee you you’ll be calling them to organize your next get-together! 
Melissa’s Cape Town
We shot Melissa’s in Newlands Cape Town and had a lot of fun! Melissa’s is very well-known for their baked goods.
This cute coffee shop (one of a few they have around Cape Town) has lots to offer from Breakfast to Lunch to Afternoon Tea, and you can browse through their store while you wait for your food.
