Cape Town is such a versatile destination for that extra special vacation!  Whether you are looking for a family holiday with young children or the ultimate honeymoon hideaway, Cape Town ticks all the boxes and delivers with panache.

Take a look, for example, at Lions View.  The description starts with Yin and yang.  Heaven and Earth.  Beauty and comfort.

Honeymoons first came into fashion as early as the 1500’s when it was thought to be the time when things were at their sweetest, sadly waning within a month!  The term appears to have been borrowed from the French, lune de miel, (moon of honey) because most of life revolved around the moon’s timetable, so it was a natural progression to link a point of reference to the moon.

The actual holiday part when couples took the time to go away together started in the 19^th century with an idea taken from the Indian culture, where upper-class couples would take a tour accompanied by their friends and family to visit far-flung relatives.

Today, Lions View encapsulates the sweetness and light, and guarantees the most magnificent sunsets and moon views.  The penthouse apartment is perfect for indulging the senses in luxurious surroundings.  The balcony has its own solar heated plunge pool where the views of the surrounding mountains, sea and beach will take your breath away.

For a sanctuary offering relaxation of the finest quality, consider Pod Boutique Hotel.  Its rather curious name belies the elegant simplicity and supreme luxury that this hotel offers in Camps Bay.

A work of art that incorporates some of the latest design and technology incorporating eco-friendly principles allowing guests to indulge in walk-in rain showers, pure cotton bed linen and Led mood lighting.  Why not go the extra mile on this special occasion and book one of the rooms with private plunge pool or the glorious penthouse suite?

Close to the cosmopolitan bar-café-restaurant lifestyle of Camps Bay, the beach is a moment’s walk away.  The views of the mountains, sea and beach are stunning.

If the more traditional hotel is drawing you in, consider The Bay Hotel, Camps Bay.  A renowned haven for romantics, leisure is their catchword with a range of activities such as tennis, state of the art Technogym including a Powerplate Pro 6, swimming pools and spa facilities all designed to pamper, engage and delight.  Special honeymoon treatments are offered including the hot stone massage, romantic couples massage and Indian head massage.

Indulge in sunset walks along the beach; watch the ocean from the Tides restaurant serving the freshest gourmet food, teamed with superb local wines; relax in your sumptuous room or suite – whatever your choice you are sure to have a honeymoon in Cape Town to remember forever.

For more great ideas on what to do and where to stay, we will be delighted to help you make the most of your vacation and holiday time.

Winter Honeymoons in Cape Town – What to Do, Where to Stay & What to Try

Make the start of your new life together as unforgettable as possible with an incredible Cape Town honeymoon that is sure to make winter your new favourite time of year. Some of our top picks on what to do, where to stay and what to try include…

1. Escape from the world into your own private oasis of luxury. Or escape to a luxurious villa with ocean views, which is pretty much the same thing really. You do not have to be a millionaire or jet setter to enjoy the privacy and comfort of your very own villa. In fact, winter is an affordable time to search for accommodation all over the city, as it is during the quieter travel season. This also means having fewer crowds to contend with, more space to enjoy the wonderful sights and a generally quieter experience all round. If your budget allows (honeymoons and romantic escapes do not come around too often, after all!), try and find a villa that has a hot tub, private pool or a balcony or deck that overlooks the ocean to ensure optimal romance during your stay.

2. Head to the ocean, or the vineyards or the heart of the city. Actually, with so many great areas to stay in all over the city, you are pretty much spoiled for choice when it comes to romantic destinations. The trendy City Bowl is great for couples who wish to be close to bars, clubs and bustling markets and urban hotspots. The picturesque Cape Winelands or Constantia Wine Route meanwhile both offer all the best of wine tasting, pretty scenery and a sense of feeling ‘away’ from everything. Beach areas such as Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno are perfect in winter and summer, giving you the benefit of spectacular sunsets, beach proximity and ocean views. All of which ramp up the romance factor nicely, we have to add. Take some time to consider what you want the most during your honeymoon – peace and quiet, country views, sea views, city lights or anything else you will both prefer.

3. Activities to suit every mood, preference and adventure level. If you are one of those active couples who love trying new things, you could go shark cage diving, abseiling, scuba diving, paragliding, sandboarding or even hiking on Table Mountain. If you both have a passion for culture, be sure to visit the many excellent museums, art galleries, theatres and other venues that offer opera, ballet, dance, art, comedy and countless other local, traditional and modern expression. Those who enjoy sports meanwhile can take their pick from yoga to nature walks, and those who like to take things slow can enjoy boat cruises, wining and dining, tours and many other activities that cater to all. Then there are the romantic activities on offer, such as horse riding on Noordhoek’s Long Beach, chocolate tasting, wine tasting tours, cooking experiences, couple’s spa treatments and plenty more besides.

…

With so many beautiful places to stay, so many amazing experiences to savour and so many well-priced villas to choose from, it is no wonder that honeymooning Cape Town is a popular choice for many couples… whatever the season.

Choosing the best honeymoon destination in South Africa is always going to be tricky, simply because of the amazing diversity of places to visit and things to see and do in a country the size of South Africa.

So let me guide you to one of my most favorite places in the world – Cape Town.

Romance has to be Cape Town’s second name and what better place to surround yourself with affairs of the heart than in a city which combines the best of Africa with the luxury and quality you would expect to find anywhere in the world. Royalty, world leaders and celebrities all flock to this oasis of calm at the heart of the city, so you never know whom you might be taking tea with!

Yet Cape Town is so much more than just another stop on the world tour.

Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town

Glamourous, luxurious, captivating – three of the adjectives that sum up the pink palace nestling under Table Mountain and surrounded by it’s own 9 acres of lush gardens, the Mount Nelson Hotel is a real Cape Town institution.

Although the Nellie, as it is affectionately known throughout the city, was built in the late 19^th century, it embodies unparalleled tradition, history and luxury in a cocoon of modern facilities.

Take afternoon tea at the Nellie, and sip your favourite tea in the beautifully furnished lounge, selecting from a delectable choice of finger sandwiches, cakes and scones, all freshly made in the hotel’s award winning kitchens.

Royalty, world leaders and celebrities all flock to this oasis of calm at the heart of the city, so you never know whom you might be taking tea with!

Close to some of the finest Cape Town hotels is the lovely Greenmarket Square, the place to find knick-knacks, souvenirs, clothing and jewellery. One of the city’s most vibrant flea markets does business every day, whilst tourists and business people alike rub shoulders in the many sidewalk cafes surrounding the cobbled square.

Gold and diamonds, being tokens of love, are very much an integral part of the structure of South Africa.  With much of the wealth of the nation having been built on these two commodities, it is fitting that plenty of the jewellery on display in the shops is “home-grown”- hewn from the land – beautifully crafted into exquisite charms to remind you of your Cape Town honeymoon.

Of course there is also the world-renowned Waterfront for shopping on an international scale.  The Waterfront is a delightful collection of sheds and historic buildings, originally forming part of a working dock, transformed into shops, restaurants and cafes, jostling side by side to capture your attention, whilst the haughty grandeur of the new penthouse suites and apartments look down over the marina and harbour.

Romance in the Air

The Waterfront is a hive of activity from morning to night.

For peace and tranquility guaranteed, what better than a hot air balloon ride over the winelands of the Western Cape?  Drift serenely above the vibrant green vineyards in the warmth of the early morning sunshine on your way to a 5 star Bucks Fizz breakfast for a start to the day that is hard to match!

Whatever you are looking for in your Cape Town honeymoon, you can be assured of a warm, friendly welcome and memories to treasure forever.  Why not let us help you plan your perfect honeymoon destination in South Africa with our expert knowledge to point you in the right direction?

 

 

Your wedding is one of the most spectacular events of your life, so why not enjoy it in luxury and style!

South Africa offers some of the best locations for an unforgettable wedding.
Spectacular honeymoon arrangements can also be made in some of the many exotic locations available in Africa. Given the hectic days of planning and arranging, once you’ve arrived, the only decision you will need to make is whether to visit only one, or many, locations during your stay!

Some suggestions for romantic locations:

In Western Cape, the Wine lands are a perfect destination. Luxury, fine wines, and superb dining options provide a perfect location for your honeymoon or wedding.

Spend a romantic afternoon under an oak tree enjoying a cozy picnic, or on a veranda looking out at the vineyards. Try the wine tasting events and stroll around some of the most famous wine estates of all time.

Some of South Africa’s private Game Reserves are another location for a relaxing honeymoon. Book a luxury suite, enjoy your own private butler, and explore the open spaces and magnificent bird and wildlife in the area.

For the adventurous couple try a guided game drive and track exotic and wild animal life. After returning to your room, order a candle light dinner and enjoy your meal under the African stars. Then, curl up in your room near the fireplace and enjoy the rest of the evening indoors.

South Africa’s cities are also a popular honeymoon destination. In the city you’ll find hotels that cater to celebrities, dignitaries and other VIPs. Staff members will go out of their way to provide you with an unforgettable experience.
