When referring to a romantic getaway, one often\nthinks of candle light dinners in lodges with white linen, sparkling wine\nflowing in abundance, soft music, rose petals and some beautiful words spoken\nover a four course meal while looking deep into someone’s eyes and whispering\nsweet nothings into the depth of night.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We focus on destinations where natural romantic\nsettings is available all year round. \nAlthough we would love to have romantic getaways as the ones described\nabove, being in our favourite places along the Garden Route on a regular basis,\nwe keep in touch with our romantic side as often as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our first stop is usually a place called\nKaaimansgat.  It is one of the most\nphotogenic places along this beautiful route stretching from Mossel Bay to\nStorms River.  The Kaaimansgat\nRestaurant, set amongst some big trees at the water’s edge, is a perfect way to\ncelebrate some love.  With a menu that is\ncatered for everyone, you will not be disappointed.  After filling your tummy, a stroll along the pristine\nKaaimans beach is a must do.  With the\nmajestic Kaaimans Railway Bridge towering high above, one often gets lost in\nthe awe-inspiring solitude that this small beach has to offer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moving further down the Garden Route, closer to\nKnysna, be sure to feel your heart beat a little faster as you approach the\nuntouched, remote Knysna Forest.  Be\nwarned, it is here that you will fall in love. \nFall in love with the forest, the trees, the critters and maybe even the\nlove of your life.  The abundance of\npicnic spots and hiking trails, places to hide away and have some privacy is\nthe perfect destination for a romantic date. \nIt is here in the unspoiled beauty that you can be at your best.  A simple budget-friendly date with a picnic\nblanket, the sound of birds bringing music to your ears and the water running\nthrough the picnic site, just makes for the perfect opportunity to ask the\nquestion you have been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the more adventurous couple, why not book\nyourself in at one of the many accommodation options in the small village of\nStorms River.  This quaint little village\nis a hidden off-the-radar gem where you can escape from the busy commercial\nlife outside.  It is the perfect spot to\nrekindle the love with your significant other. \nWhat better way to start off your stay than with a meal at the place of\nthe King and Queen of Love.  A diner that\nfeatures Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley in true American style serves the\nmost delicious sweet treats.  On to more\nadventurous activities, Tsitsikamma Canopy Tours offers the perfect opportunity\nto test your love as the two of you swoops through the treetops on a zipline\nfrom platform to platform, flying into each other’s arms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just around the corner from Storms River Village is one of South Africa’s most sought after National Parks, Tsitsikamma National Park.  Here you will be able to find a romantic spot wherever you turn.  Share your love with each other as you look out over the crashing waves, with dolphins passing by playfully.  Wander through some indigenous forest before crossing over a swing bridge where the river meets the ocean.  Lock your love onto the bridge and capture your memories while you hold each other, just being in the moment.  Stay the night in one of the many accommodation option, just to wake up the next morning with the sun over the ocean, the sea breeze fresh and clean on a crisp morning and the wildlife paying you a visit while you share the most romantic moment with the love of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these options mentioned above, is still\ndeserving of the red roses, sparkling wine, white linen and fine dining\nexperience.  The setting is just an added\nbonus and makes it that much more special. \nWhy not go all out and take all the help you can get?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this sound like the perfect few days?  We invite you to do your FLIGHT BOOKING<\/a> now and join us in the Garden Route to make the next trip your most romantic one to date.  It really is as simple as that.  It is the small things in life that counts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
