Western Cape: 4 Towns With Corfu Vibes

The Western Cape isn’t Corfu, but it will offer you peaceful bays, stone-like architecture, fresh seafood, and that elusive coastal calm…

Corfu is all about coastal beauty, stone alleys, olive trees, and that salty breeze that makes time slow down. But you don’t have to go to Greece to find that mix of charm, sea, and stillness. The Western Cape has its own slice of Mediterranean magic – places where the vibe hits just right. Here are four towns that channel Corfu energy, South African style…

1. St. Helena Bay
Quiet coves, fishing boats, and calm waters

Tucked away on the West Coast, St. Helena Bay gives off serious old-world coastal vibes. It’s peaceful, low-built, and lined with small harbours and sea-facing homes. You get that same feeling you get on Corfu – like the world has shrunk to just sky, sea, and whatever’s on your plate. And what’s on your plate is probably snoek or mussels.

2. Hermanus, Western Cape
Cliff walks, clean architecture, ocean drama

Hermanus isn’t exactly unknown, but it still manages to keep that breezy elegance that Corfu’s coastal towns have. The cliff paths, minimalist white homes, and view-heavy restaurants make you slow down and breathe. Inland, there are wine farms and olive groves. On the coast, there are dolphins, whales, and endless views. It’s polished but never pretentious.

3. Paternoster
Whitewashed charm, slow days, salty air

Paternoster feels like a Greek island that wandered down to the West Coast. Its white cottages, fishing boats, and quiet, sandy streets could easily pass for a sleepy village in the Aegean. Life here runs on tides and sun, not schedules. Fresh seafood, ocean mist, and low-key living – this is Corfu without the crowds.

Corfu vibe twin: Agios Stefanos, if it lived on a wilder coastline.

4. Knysna, Western Cape
Lagoon life, forested hills, rustic elegance

Knysna sits on a stunning coastal lagoon, protected by the dramatic cliffs of the Knysna Heads where the estuary meets the sea. It has that Corfu-like blend of water, hills, and natural beauty. Think sailing boats on still water, dense forest just inland, and breezy waterside cafés. It’s not beachy in the typical sense, but the views, mood, and pace are unmistakably Mediterranean.

Published

The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district at the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has confirmed the viral medical reports in which his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, morphine, opiates and other hard drugs.

Naija News recalls that the medical report issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, revealed that the movie star has been battling severe substance abuse and has been undergoing a detoxification program  from September 9 to October 15, 2025.

The medical report stated that the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to Nwoko’s residence on September 23, when Regina had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was visibly aggressive.

The report emphasized that Regina presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.”

The hospital also outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, stressing that the thespian had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”

However, the medical facility, in a statement via its Instagram page, said the leaked document did not emanate from them, as they are committed to ensuring medical confidentiality.

Ned Nwoko, in a statement issued on Saturday, pointed out that the medical facility did not deny authorizing the leaked document but only clarified that it did not publish the document.

Nwoko stated that Regina Daniels’ recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind, stressing that she is vulnerable and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain.

The statement added that Senator Nwoko is genuinely and deeply concerned for Regina Daniels to recover, be safe and present in the lives of her children.

Leaked Drug Test: Regina Daniels Positive

Published

Documents exclusively obtained indicate that Regina Daniels, the estranged wife of billionaire lawmaker, Senator Ned Nwoko, is excessively abusing drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and alcohol,

According to a laboratory test conducted by an expert and report made available to newsmen, the toxicology test on Regina showed positive to marijuana, cocaine, morphine, ipiates and alcohol at health- toxic levels.

According to the lawmaker, ‘Regina needs help and must go back to the Rehab centre which she started two months ago for medical attention’.

Recall that the lawmaker had opened up on the dispute between his wife, Regina, attributing their marital crisis to her battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Regina had earlier accused Nwoko of assault and domestic abuse. She alleged that the violence in her husband’s home had become unbearable, saying Nwoko sent thugs to attack her.

“Ned sent thugs to attack me, I’m nothing in Ned’s house, but in my house, I’m a queen. I can’t stand the violence anymore; it’s too much,” the mother of two was heard saying in a viral video on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Reacting via a statement shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, Nwoko denied allegations of domestic violence preferred against him by Regina, insisting that he had never been abusive to any of his wives.

The lawmaker, who also shared a video showing his properties allegedly destroyed by Regina, stated that despite having other wives, none had ever accused him of violence.

He wrote: “Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation program, or I fear for her life and safety.

“Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs. I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence.

“Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause.”

Nwoko explained that he had set a clear condition for Regina to undergo rehabilitation, either at a facility in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad, to help her overcome addiction.Buy vitamins and supplements

Nwoko added: “The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria especially Jordan where she will not have access to drugs.

A clear headed Regina would have taken moon to the hospital but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse (for exposing her drugs abuse).

“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann.”

Nwoko in a WhatsApp chat with Regina said, “I won’t accept your friends coming here at odd hours again. First it was glam on Sunday night. I spoke with two of you to go to sleep at 1am or she should leave. She didn’t do either. It was an all night of noise and music and all that goes with it. By 3am another two friends joined you. They left the following afternoon. Again today, I asked you to go to.bed at 3am. You refused. It was was the noise of doors downstairs that woke me up. Lo and behold, you and Sonia were heading to your room at exactly 3.30am. You have shown so much disrespect in the past few days. I don’t know who is giving you drugs amongst them and this lifestyle is totally unacceptable and we can’t continue like this. It is either you continue with your therapy or you check into the rehab in Asokoro. My health is deteriorating because of your situation. I am worried about your life and what will happen with the kids. More importantly, I won’t fund your lifestyle again until you are fully rehabilitated.”

Nwoko added all his efforts to ensure he rehabilitated Regina were rebuffed by his wife and family members.

Recall that Regina Daniels had days back admitted to using hard drugs via her Instagram page stating other reasons for her addiction.
