Romantic summer getaways

Clarens

We love Clarens because it’s done well to earn a reputation as the 'Jewel of the Free State' and a world-renowned artistic haven. With wildlife, golden mountains, winding rivers, flower-strewn gardens and quirky spots, it’s a fairy-tale town waiting to be discovered.

Parys

We love Parys because it’s a small town that’s big on adventure. Whether your loved one enjoys a lazy weekend of sunbathing on the river banks or the thrill of leaping out of an aeroplane, you’ll make many happy memories in Parys.

Dullstroom

We love Dullstroom because it’s a natural paradise with little more to do than relish the mountain and wild-flower vistas. It’s a popular trout-fishing destination, but since this is best done in the cold winter months, your fishing-fanatic partner will have few distractions from you.

Knysna

We love Knysna because there’s no reason NOT to love Knysna. After a beautiful drive along the Garden Route you’re rewarded with a peaceful lagoon, beautiful beaches, thick mountain forests, good weather and a tangible sense of 'holiday'. Whether you prefer opulence or rustic stays, Knysna has it all.

BBela Bela

We love Bela-Bela’s hot springs! Round up your family and friends and head for this charming historic town in the Waterberg bushveld. Bela-Bela offers you relaxing hot springs to swim in, mountains to climb and hike, unspoiled landscapes and many well-preserved wilderness areas.

Hermanus

We love Hermanus for its seaside charm and indulgent wining and dining spots. Meander along the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Wine Route, enjoy a candlelit dinner overlooking the ocean, and top the day off with a romantic stroll on the beach. The weather changes so frequently that you can experience an entire year’s worth of seasons in a single weekend – you’ll feel as if you’ve been away for ages!

Langebaan

We love Langebaan because it’s a breath of fresh, sea-salted air from the chaos of everyday life. The calm lagoon, soothing bird calls and untouched flora of the West Coast National Park make it an idyllic natural haven. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is a completely sleepy town. You’ll have to book long in advance to get a spot at the popular Strandlopers beach restaurant!

Margate

We love Margate for its subtropical, Hawaii-wannabe beach vibes. If your ideal weekend wardrobe consists of a cozzie and flip-flops, you’ll love Margate’s palm-speckled beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters. When the sun gets too much, Margate also has great shops, art galleries, craft markets, pubs and quaint restaurants to visit.

Whether it’s a quiet getaway in the mountains or a sandy beach weekend, there is no shortage of awesome places to take your someone special this month.
