As we begin heading towards cooler days and falling leaves, we, as Cape Town summer lovers, may be yearning for one last sun-soaked escape before hibernation preparations kick in.
However, with some of us still recovering from Januworry woes and the ever-increasing cost of living, a summer vacay or romantic getaway has probably been pulled down to the bottom of our to-do lists.
Fear not, for where there’s a will, there’s a budget-friendly way.
Here are four budget-friendly getaways to make the most of the last few summer days:
A romantic one-night escape for two at Harbour House Hotel
What better way to soak in the last few rays of the summer season with your significant other in a romantic getaway in Hermanus?
Idyllically situated in the heart of the Old Harbour of Hermanus, the hotel’s wood-fired hot tub village suite on the first floor offers the perfect balance of romance and summer fun. After exploring the stunning seaside town, think cosy apartment-style living meets a romantic private balcony with sweeping views and a wood-fired hot tub.
Commemorate your escape with a complimentary breakfast at Habour House’s in-house restaurant Selkirk between 7am and 11am, complete with scones and tea (served between 3pm and 5pm) and an R200 lunch voucher.
