We had a rather unexpected problem with our welcome chocolates.
Follow for the little stories behind our Stellenbosch guesthouse.
At Banhoek Corner, our guesthouse in the Banhoek Valley between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, we used to leave a little chocolate nougat on the bed as a sweet welcome.
A few guests thought it was soap. And yes, they actually tried to wash with it.
We still laugh about that one. These days, the chocolate sits next to your teacup, where it is much less likely to cause confusion.
Would you have mistaken it for soap too? 👇
