[Furbz]

Such an awesome event.

Agree. I did the Shiraz and really enjoyed the event. Kudos to the organizers for putting on an excellent event in really adverse circumstances. 

It was my first W2W, so can't compare with previous, but I did not enjoy the food. Breakfast was okay, but lunch and dinner were not good. Really not good.

Watching the rugby at Oak Valley on the Saturday night was sublime.

I don't know what you guys ate, but 99% of the food was great. The 1% not great was the plastic burger patties. Other than that we ate like kings!

 

Lamb and beef for dinner, win!

Agreed - the food was great! And i can compare - was much better than Woolworths last year. The fresh fruit and variety thereof was next level and the added things like biltong, popcorn etc. during the Rugby on Saturday was a nice touch too.
