Summer at the Marina

31 December 2025

The holiday season at the Marina has its own rhythm. Long summer days, warm evenings, and those easy moments that happen with friends and neighbours. From festive preparations to relaxed gatherings and joyful surprises, these are some of the moments that shaped our summer.

Summer-Ready Marina

As the season approached, the Marina slipped into holiday mode. Freshened up, sun-ready, and looking its best, everything was set for summer days, festive moments, and welcoming family and friends.

Clubhouse Kiddies Creations

The Clubhouse was filled with fun as our youngest residents got creative. Cupcakes were decorated, Christmas crafts took shape, and paper chains stretched almost as far as their imaginations.

Spithead Lemonade Stand

A hot summer’s day calls for something cold and refreshing. This entrepreneurial kids’ lemonade stand at The Spithead delivered just that... ice-cold granadilla lemonade that proved so popular it sold out more than once.

Dalla Cia Wine Evening

Preparations underway before a relaxed get together in the Clubhouse for a superb wine tasting presented by Dalla Cia Winery.

The Highlight of the Season - The Marina Meander

Eight homes. Eight dishes. Eight wine estates. But what unfolded was something far more personal and truly memorable. From home to home, plates were passed, glasses topped up, and conversations flowed. It was a shared journey made possible by the homeowners who so warmly opened their doors, the barge owners who generously ferried everyone from one course to the next, and of course the wine makers and chefs who made it a taste experience of note.

NSRI Santa

Santa arrived with his usual festive Marina twist, trading sleigh and reindeer for a NSRI rescue boat. Excited faces, festive cheer, and a touch of magic made it a moment to remember.

Marina Fun Run & Walk

Sunshine, smiles, and a sense of togetherness marked the Marina Fun Run and Walk. This relaxed community event raised just over R4,000 for the SPCA, a wonderful result and a fitting way to round off 2025.
