Some scenarios are just begging to be romantic. Oceanfront vacations, for example, evoke sunset strolls on the sand, late-night dives in the moonlight, and carefree beach picnics. These romantic retreats have left us weak at the knees, whether it's a rustic hillside escape, a boutique bolthole in the Winelands, or a rustic cottage in the woods.
1. Visit the Grande Kloof Boutique hotel for a grand time
The Grande Kloof Boutique Hotel is located between Bantry Bay and Sea Point, close to the beach, the V&A Waterfront, and the famed Table Mountain. They have a variety of accommodation alternatives to meet your needs, but their self-catering apartments are the most affordable. These apartments are open-plan and roomy, with a fully fitted kitchen. They come with a spacious terrace overlooking the sea as well as a magnificent swimming pool.

2. The wild-at-heart bolthole: Melozhori
Melozhori Game Reserve's herds of springbok and giraffes leisurely wandering through otherwise desolate landscapes make you feel a million miles away from civilisation, not to mention the deep stillness, clean air, and magnificent panoramas of rolling hills and the Overberg mountains... Despite this, this 2 300-hectare wilderness area is only about 200 kilometers up the N2 from Cape Town. The Treehouse is designed for two people and is excellent for a weekend escape where you can take up the romance of the outdoors under a brilliant canopy of stars at night. It feels like you're alone in the wilderness, perched on the slopes of an unspoiled valley among folds of hills, isolated from the resident fauna, birds, and geckos.

3. The coastal hideaway: Tintswalo Atlantic
Tintswalo Atlantic is only accessible by the resident shuttle, which brings visitors from the main road down to the resort on the shore below. You have a sense of privacy that is greatly valued for special occasions and romantic retreats. Only eight suites (plus one two-bedroom villa) offer uninterrupted ocean views, magnificent ensuite bathrooms, and private balconies. Wake up to the smell of fresh sea air and the sound of lapping waves outside your window before making your way to the main deck for a cup of coffee (or mimosa) and watching the sun rise above the mountain - paradise.

4. The cosy country hideaway: Bergsicht Farm Cottages
For peace and tranquillity, the private cottages are tucked in pockets of forest. The open-plan interior is understated but meticulously designed, allowing for a completely relaxing experience with everything you and your significant other may require: a well-equipped self-catering kitchenette, braai facilities, air conditioning, a cosy fireplace, a deck with loungers and a wood-fired hot tub.
