Summer date ideas

We know that it’s usually cuddling weather in winter however with the hot and sunny days finally coming out in Cape Town, we thought that you would need a few fun summer date ideas for you and your partner.

With Cape Town being right in the middle of Strawberry season, why not head down to the Polkadraai Strawberry Farm in Stellenbosch and pick your own strawberries. It will make for such a unique and different experience. Prices start at R40 and go up to R190 so there is a range for everyone’s budget. Make sure to eat a few strawberries along the way!

If you want to feel like a tourist in your own city then head down to the waterfront and hop onto the red bus for a tour around your city. It stops at all the main attractions in Cape Town such as Table Mountain, The District Six Museum and even takes you into Constantia to some of the main wine farms. You need to book online and tickets are R180 per person. The best part of this tour? The last stop is Camps Bay, so we suggest bar hopping along the beach road and having a few sunset cocktails.

We are so spoilt living in Cape Town as there are just so many options. If you haven’t been to Kalk Bay then make sure you head that way this summer and explore this quaint little town. There are so many hidden antique shops as well as amazing seafood restaurants.

If you prefer to have a relaxing afternoon drinking wine then head to Peter Falke Wine Estate where you can drink wine while lying on a bean bag. We highly suggest trying their nachos as they are delicious!  There are so many wine farms to choose from so please make sure you explore them all, however, a few more of our favourites are Hidden Valley, Jordan Wine Estate and Beyerskloof. Spend a few days this summer checking them all out!

It is always fun to do something new with your partner so we that we could give you a few ideas. If you want something more classic than a picnic at Kirstenbosch or on the beach is always romantic! We hope you have a fun and exciting summer.

XOXO

It is always fun to go out to dinner or to a movie with your partner but sometimes you need to find something a little more extraordinary to do. Whether your date likes to keep it simple or do some strenuous activity we will have an idea for you!

• Lindt Chocolate Cooking Class – This is by far our number one choice! They have different classes for the different days of the week which range from Lindt Cupcake making to Lindt Teddy Bear making. This is the perfect fun date idea for any partner who has a sweet tooth. If you go onto their website you will find all the information you need. Booking is essential.

• Cape Town Underground Tunnels – This is for our fitness couples who are not afraid for adventure or to get a little dirty. You have to pass a fitness test before you adventure into the tunnels that run under the beautiful streets of Cape Town. This is a good way to bond with your partner should you both be up for the challenge. Booking is essential.

• Next we suggest heading to Chart Farm which is located in Wynberg, where you can actually walk around the gardens and pick your own roses. This is a romantic way to spend the morning with your partner as you get to create your own bouquet to take home. They have a farm stall on site as well as a coffee shop to full you up before you adventure into the gardens. Please check online before you go to ensure they are open for picking.

• Glamping seems to be the new way to go in terms of getting in touch with your wild side which is why we LOVE the new company “Hey Pioneer”. How this works is you choose exactly where you want your camp to be set up and the Hey Pioneer team will set it up for you. You can also rent a camping package from them and set it up yourself. Either way, this is an awesome idea for the upcoming summer months.

It is always a good idea to plan a date for you and your partner. It shows effort and thought should you plan everything without them having to choose where to go, what to do or where to eat. Show a little love as we head into summer and spoil your partner, even if it just means taking them to the MOJO market or to the new Silo Hotel for an afternoon tea. We hope you enjoy our date ideas around Cape Town!

XOXO
