As the month of February dawns, romance is in the air and nowhere more so than at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl.
As the month of February dawns, romance is in the air and nowhere more so than at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl. February 2012 has a double dose of romance, being a Leap Year and with Valentine’s Day on February 14. The hotel has devised a romantic evening on Saturday February 11 to celebrate the month of love.
Soft background music, a picnic on the lawns and a classic movie sets the mood. The lawns of the Grande Roche Hotel have to be the ultimate in romantic locations, offering glorious views across the valley and roses in full bloom at the historic manor house. Add the setting sun, and the atmosphere is unashamedly about love.
Gourmet picnic baskets will provide delicious offerings of the innovative dining experience that is synonymous with the Grande Roche Hotel. Enjoy smoked salmon, freshly prepared salad, a selection of cheeses and dried meats as well as fresh fruit and light-as-air cakes. Add to that, as you lounge on the lawn, the softly mellow strains of guitar and saxophone from the Morné Kahts musicians.
After your picnic, it is time to snuggle up under the stars on the seats of the Amphitheatre. The ultimate date night needs a movie that will appeal to all, and the hotel has chosen a feel-good movie, combining humour and romance. The iconic “Grease” sets feet tapping and pulses racing, and is as popular today as when it was first shown. Couples can also get into the mood by dressing in ‘Grease” era outfits, and stand the chance to win a weekend for two.
It doesn't need to end there: why not extend the evening into a full weekend and luxuriate in the unique accommodation that the Grande Roche Hotel has to offer. Your reservation is the promise of a treat. Each room has its own unique personality and is identified by a name that reflects an aspect of life on this very special estate. A weekend at the only member of Small Luxury Hotels of The World in South Africa is like a tranquil escape to your own personal country estate. Your experience will make you feel like royalty and this Valentine’s Day will live long in your memory.
Cost: R 270 per person includes picnic basket and entertainment.
