Out to Sea // La Vue Yacht
What better than a romantic night on the sea. Champagne on arrival and full course menu shared with your partner. Set sail to the sounds of the waves lapping at the boat, as Durban’s city skyline lights up the evening.
Entertainment on board will be a live Jazz Band that plays for your pleasure, including an open dance floor on the lower deck. The cruise is weather dependent, and should the wind be too high, you will not be able to sail. Should you be unable to sail on the evening, you will be gifted a complimentary cruise.

Romance on the Green//The Big Easy Wine Bar & Grill
Take a step on dry land and experience one of the world’s most well known golfers, luxury restaurant. The Big Easy by Ernie Els, recently opened the Ernie Els restaurant is based in the Hilton Hotel, central Durban. And is most certainly the place to spend some quality time with your loved one.
With its old New York lounge decor style, I won’t blame you if you order desert twice. Celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Big Easy. Enjoy a set 4-course menu while you enjoy the laid-back sounds of a jazz band.

Hideout in the African Bush // The Fever Tree Guesthouse
Sometimes we just need to get away from, the buzz of city life. Why not take this time to appreciate and celebrate each other, in the heart of Africa. The Fever Tree Guesthouse based in Hluhluwe is just mere minutes away from, the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve.
Pack a picnic and spend the day in the park, or simply lounge by the pool and appreciate the sounds of Zululand around you at the guesthouse.

Dinner at the Pearls // DL Boutique & Cafe
Managed by good friend and the famous Chef Sherwyn Weaichy, who is also known as The Gourmet Bushie, this stop is one filled with fun and naughty humour? Instead of just eating good food, why not try making good food?

Love is always brewing // Distillery 031
So fine dining, and dressing up aren’t your idea of fun? In fact you’d feel far more comfortable enjoying the evening, on a double date with friends? Then this stop is for you. Distillery 031 is located in the new, but super popular Station Drive Precinct.
Look out for those “unromantic cocktails” and a very new Burger that’s going to be launched on the night. If you know anything about Distillery 031 you know that Burgers Are Life at this establishment.
