Start your summer mornings the Derwent House way ☀️🍍
At Derwent House, breakfast is never ordinary — and our signature “Dr Paw Paw” is proof.
Think juicy ripe papaya, a burst of seasonal fruits, creamy yoghurt, lightly toasted almond flakes, and a drizzle of golden fynbos honey to tie it all together. Light, vibrant, and refreshingly indulgent — the perfect way to savour a sunny Cape Town morning.
