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!
Yias Yias
Yias Yias is a restaurant in Port Elizabeth along the famous “Stanley Strip” in Richmond Hill. It specialises in Greek & Mediterranean food. It operates Monday to Saturday from 11am-11pm. Enjoy their video profile!
Zula Bar
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.
Zula Bar, Cape Town’s premier sound bar, is located at number 98 Longstreet.
The night we went to shoot was absolutely packed – see for yourself in the video.
The line was all the way down the road.
It really reflected the vibrant night life of Cape Town, South Africa.
I loved that this venue had people coming in to do all sorts – party, have a quiet drink or just have dinner.
They do breakfasts, lunches and dinners every day of the week.
They have various dance floors in different sections upstairs and downstairs, where people can listen to up to four different types of music on popular nights.
You can order a drink and then walk around until you find your kind of music.
Come in the week for stand-up comedy acts, acoustic music or bands and on the weekends to club.
They’re very well-known for their pizzas if you’re coming in for dinner with friends.
They’re open Mondays to Thursdays from 12pm-2am and on Fridays to Saturdays from 12pm -4am.

Tjing Tjing
One of Cape Town’s favourite night clubs, Tjing Tjing is a rooftop bar located just off Longstreet, Cape Town.
We got to shoot on an absolutely packed night!
It was pumping and the video came out exceptionally.
I love their colour scheme and ‘attic’ feel.
The owner is friendly and professional and I can really recommend hiring this place out as a venue for a birthday party, corporate function or business meeting.
It has a festive atmosphere and shooting their official video profile was a dream.
I enjoyed editing this and doing the voice over particularly because I enjoy the venue so much and I wanted to do Ilse Koekemoer (owner) justice on her fabulous club!

I’m very blessed in that, through the shoots we do for Skybok, I get to travel to so many different places, meet so many different people and – best of all – see amazing things. I’m remembering now back to a place we filmed in Cape Town called Vovo Telo.
It’s a trendy little bar at the waterfront and they are really well-known for their coffees and pastries. I also love their pizzas and artisan breads. I’ve realised that the coffee culture truly has grown both here and internationally.
On the day we filmed their video profile, I just stuck to a peach iced tea. I love them and BOS is my new favourite make! How about you? Are you a coffee fiend?
The Rat & Parrot

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.
