That special day of love is just around the corner…and that means the pressure is on, right? Don’t worry, we’ve got great ideas for you, with everything planned from accommodation to activities – all you need is a valentine now!  

Port Elizabeth:

Our Special:

Stay at our Courtyard Hotel Port Elizabeth for only R900 a night on 13, 14 and 15 February 2015. 

Your Valentine’s Date Options: Since this hotel is opposite the famed Humewood beach, we suggest you and your valentine start your day off with an early walk along the beach, muttering sweet nothings to each other while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery – as well as getting some endorphin-inducing exercise to start your Valentine’s Day off just right! After your walk, it’s probably time for a delicious brunch (or lunch, depending on how early you managed to wake up), and so it’s off to P.E.’s Boardwalk Casino and Resort complex, right next to our Courtyard Hotel. While you’re there, you can also pick up any last minute Valentine’s presents…just in case you forgot about that part of Valentine’s Day. Depending on how adventurous you are feeling for the rest of the day, you could either take in the cultural experience that is Route 67, or enjoy an amazing game drive at the Shamwari Game Reserve.   Valentine’s Day sorted, P.E. style – you’re welcome!  

Rosebank:

Our Special:

Stay at our Courtyard Hotel Rosebank for only R900 a night on 13, 14 and 15 February 2015.

Your Valentine’s Date Options: Our Rosebank Hotel Courtyard is opposite a Gautrain station, meaning that you are free to go where your heart desires this Valentine’s Day. We recommend a stop at the Rosebank African Craft Market, to find your sweetheart a real treasure to remember this Valentine’s Day by, as well as to take in the great culture of the market. After that, you will find yourself conveniently in the Rosebank Mall, so why not have a romantic meal at one of the great restaurants and then catch a cosy movie? You have a choice of all the current favourites on the circuit, as well as the Cinema Nouveau option. And there’s your romantic Rosebank Rendezvous, all sorted – enjoy!    

Waterfall City:

Our Special: Stay at our brand new City Lodge Hotel Waterfall City for only R800 a night on 13, 14, and 15 February 2015.

Your Valentine’s Date Options: We’re so proud of our newest family member, City Lodge Hotel Waterfall City, that we could leave it as the only stop on your romantic Valentine’s Day date, but we’ll step back a minute and try and be objective. So after having a delicious breakfast at this hotel, you and your valentine can venture forth to Lory Park for a great morning interacting with the wildlife. A great opportunity for some cute “usies” (selfies with more than one person) of you and your valentine with the animals around. Next, keep the adventure up and spirits high (literally) by going on a helicopter ride over the city of Johannesburg with FlyJozi! It doesn’t get much more thrilling than that – and the adrenaline rush from being up that high will definitely make this a Valentine’s Day to remember. Of course, if you’d like a relaxing end to your Valentine’s Day, why not have a romantic dinner at one of Midrand’s great restaurants? All in all, a great Valentine’s Day in the bag!  

Sandton:

Our Specials: Stay at our Courtyard Hotel Sandton for only R900 a night, and only R800 a night at our City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Katherine Street on 13, 14 and 15 February 2015.

Your Valentine’s Date Options: Staying at Courtyard Hotel Sandton – Start your Valentine’s Day off with one of Macit Tours’ half day tours. Choose from any of the amazing cultural experiences on offer, from a half day Soweto tour, to one of Johannesburg that includes a drive past Nelson Mandela’s Houghton house. This is a great option for a different kind of Valentine’s Day experience, and a brilliant one for you and your valentine if you are both fans of culture and history. After taking in all that information, you will probably be looking for a little relaxation, so book yourself and your valentine into a treatment or two at Orient Spa. Then for a romantic dinner it’s off to Nelson Mandela Square – a perfect Valentine’s Day! Staying at City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Katherine Street – The above all still applies, or you could change things up a bit and organise a Khakiweed Safari Tour for you and your sweetheart.        

Lynnwood:

Our Special: Stay at our City Lodge Hotel Lynnwood for only R800 a night on 13, 14 and 15 February 2015.

Your Valentine’s Date Options: When staying at our Lynnwood City Lodge Hotel, you open yourself up to an awesomely chilled and relaxing Valentine’s Day. We suggest first moseying over to the famed Hazel Food Market for a leisurely breakfast. While there, get your sweetheart some sweet delicacies – they will go down a treat! Spend the rest of the day exploring the area, just taking it easy, and then head off to Cafe Barcelona, a dynamic live music and entertainment venue for a great evening. The venue offers both restaurant and pub facilities, so whatever you feel like to end off your Valentine’s Day, you’ll find it here!

Get those endorphins going with a few thrilling rides and your Valentine’s Day will be brilliant.
