A change of name

M's on R62 Restaurant and BoutiqueNo, Khasha Mongo Restaurant and Boutique hasn't changed hands, only the name has been changed to "M's". Martina and Klaus Stocker explained that they were looking for a name with more impact, something to draw attention to their restaurant/ boutique in the heart of Barrydale and they settled on the bright yellow sign with a simple name.

 

Martina left Germany ten years ago to settle in South Africa. She met Klaus while he was on vacation from Germany. After deciding they wanted to be together and live in South Africa Klaus, a master goldsmith and designer,  returned to Germany and sold up his gallery and family home which the family had lived in for 350 years.

 
Klaus and Martina StockerOn his return Klaus and Martina set up a guesthouse in Somerset West and three years ago moved to Barrydale. The fresh Karoo air, the leisurelyvillage  pace and the beauty of the surroundings suit both Martina (an amateur photographer who takes exquisite photographs) and Klaus. When asked if they miss Europe they both say they have settled very happily in Africa and enjoy their photographic excursions into more remote areas where they camp and relax before returning to their busy life at M's on Route 62.
