The Rovos Rail Cape Town journey takes three days and covers 1600-kilometres. This slow meander, down South, is a perfect illustration of the varied landscapes of Southern Africa. [Read more…]

Win a Romantic Weekend at Gelukkie Paternoster
*Entries are Closed*
Gelukkie Paternoster
I cannot believe it is February already, which naturally means Valentines Day is just around the corner! One of my favourite things to do with my hubby for Valentines is a romantic getaway! It can be for one night or a weekend, either way it is time for us to spend together, away for the craziness of everyday life!
You may remember a post I did last year after a visit to Gelukkie Self-catering accommodation situated in Paternoster. The accommodation at Gelukkie consists of two beautifully decorated self-catering cottages, Klein Gelukkie and Nog ‘N Gelukkie.
Paternoster is a quaint Seaside town, up the West Coast, approximately a 2 hour drive from Cape Town. It really is the perfect place for a romantic weekend away!
Klein Gelukkie is a spacious self-catering cottage, containing a king size bed, chill out room, dining area and fully functional kitchen. The decor is wonderfully quirky and the space is both cosy and inviting.
Nog ‘N Gelukkie is a cosy self catering unit nestled very privately on the back of the farm. This cottage contains a king size bed, lounge and fully functional kitchen along with a walk-in wardrobe. The private garden comes complete with braai facilities and day bed. The perfect romantic getaway.
As well as accommodation Gelukkie has their venue, Joy, which is available for birthdays, weddings or conferences. The Joy functions venue, consists of a semi-enclosed Garden Room, outdoor garden area and bar, as well as the services of wedding coordinator Cindy.
I am super excited to let you know that we will be treating one lucky couple, to a Romantic Getaway at Gelukkie in Paternoster!
