Let’s face it: boxes of chocolates and bunches of flowers just aren’t going to cut it anymore. If you REALLY want to impress a special someone in your life, you’ll need to think outside of the chocolate box! We’ve got a few ideas you could incorporate into your Valentine’s plans this month – and if you’re looking for somewhere special to take your special someone, we can hook you up with a great discount on accommodation throughout February! Keep reading to find out more.
1. Cook a (naughty) romantic dinner together
Grab your aprons and pay an after-work visit to Woolies: you’re about to get hot and steamy in the kitchen! Food is the language of love for many people, and you’ll fall in love all over again when cooking together with your special someone. Clothing is optional, but we recommend keeping your aprons on if you have nearby neighbours or no kitchen curtains.
2. Plan a surprise scavenger hunt (where you’re the prize)
Scavenger hunts are fun no matter how old you are! Plan a romantic hunt for your lovie to go on, leading them from room to room with clues they must decipher in order to progress. If the residual effects of Januworry have carried over into the month of love for you, and you can’t afford a nice basket of goodies as the final prize, tie a ribbon around your neck (with nothing else on) and hope for the best.
3. Arrange a romantic getaway (avoid seedy motels)
Now this one is going to take some careful navigation so as to avoid wrong impressions. Thinking about booking a stay for you and your boo at a nice hotel or accommodation for Valentine’s Day evening? We’d recommend avoiding seedy motels where you can book by the hour, and if you’re going to wear your wedding rings – make sure the staff know you’re married to each other!
4. Take a couple’s spa day (that doesn’t offer happy endings)
Another Valentine’s Day idea you should really do some research on before making any bookings. Nothing will leave you and your beloved more refreshed than booking a relaxing spa day for you both. But not all spas are the same, and the less you pay – the more likely you’ll end up getting more than you bargained for! If you’ve ever been to Thailand you’ll know what we’re talking about.
5. Take your special someone to someplace special
Forget the seedy motel in that sort-of dodgy area down the road from your house! We’ve got great places to stay, at great per-night prices, in most major towns and cities across South Africa. With four brands to choose from, there’s a place that feels just like home to suit your accommodation budget.
Now here’s something special just for you: book a stay over any of the four weekends in February 2023 and get your room from R749 per night!
