Honeymoon prizes at Spring Fab Bridal expo!

With the help of wonderful and generous sponsors, Creative Honeymoon Solutions have put together 2 fabulous package prizes for the live weddings that are to be held at the Spring Fab Bridal expo on 2 and 3 October 2010. 

The couple winning the Garden Route package will be staying in Knysna at Abalone Lodges and joining Springtide Charters on a sailing trip while celebrating their new life with a dinner at the Dry Dock restaurant.  They will then move on to the Fernery Chalets Tsitsikamma and enjoy the waterfall zipline adventure offered by Tsitsikamma Falls.  The Boardwalk Lodge in Wilderness will host them on their last stop with the Wilderness Hydro spoiling them with a relaxing massage.  To end off their fabulous time, they will enjoy a romantic dinner at the exclusive Serendipity restaurant before heading back home.

The winners of the Western Cape package will be hosted by Whale View Manor in Simons Town where they will be wonderfully spoilt in their Shaya Moya Spa.  Next they will be staying at Celtic Manor and Spa in Gordon's Bay where gorgeous accommodation and more sea views await them.  The last stop will be Beaumonte Guesthouse in Vermont Hermanus where they will also join Walker Bay Adventures on an exciting kyaking trip.

As with each special client that book through Creative Honeymoon Solutions, the couple will receive a welcome pack with their original vouchers, information and maps on the area they are visiting, and a small handmade journal to record their special memories of this very important time in their lives.

That's all news for the moment except to remind all readers that there are still some great special offers available for August and September in the Garden Route!!

Honeymoon focus on Plettenberg Bay

If you have yet to book your honeymoon between dates July - September 2010, this blog is for you!  As mentioned in the previous message, numerous special offers have emerged for the Garden Route area - from the Wilderness beach to the magical forests of Tsitsikamma.  Today the focus is on 2 Plettenberg Bay establishments.

C Lodge in Plettenberg Bay is a new, upmarket guesthouse in a peaceful setting, close to the Robberg beach area.  A statement made by Chris Du Plessis about this Lodge:

"A seemingly incongruous meeting place between an exterior wetlands environment and an interior style reminiscent of the Karoo right by one of South Africa’s most famous beaches, the spanking new GUEST LODGE IN PLETTENBERG BAY seriously over-qualifies as unique. It’s downright astounding."

Accommodation includes rooms that are spacious and stylish -each with their own entrances.  Superior rooms 4 and 5 are to be recommended for honeymoon couples - room 4 boasting a sea view and room 5 featuring a refreshing outdoor shower.  Rates have been negotiated by Creative Honeymoon Solutions for a 3 night stay at this exclusive guesthouse where a private, candelit dinner on the patio can also be arranged to enhance the romantic stay and intimate experience.  You can expect to pay only R528 pp per night B&B from the end of July to the end of September 2010.

E Moon is also offering a wonderful opportunity for a 2 night stay where you pay a discounted rate of R785 pp per night and this includes your fabulous river view accommodation (with fireplace for those "cuddle-up" nights), dinner in their restaurant accompanied by a complimentary bottle of wine every night.  Add to that a car wash, canoeing, cycling, walking and birding and you have a package to enjoy all on it's own.

Winter in Plettenberg Bay also means whale season so you can experience these majestic creatures up close through a company such as Ocean Blue Adventures.  You can also take a lazy cruise along the Keurboomsriver with Keurbooms River ferries and enjoy a picnic lunch or "add sparkle to your life" through lunch and a wine tasting at Bramon wine estate in the Crags.  While you are there,  visit Monkeyland and Birds of Eden as well as  The Elephant sanctuary to complete your outdoor experience. 

Of course you can still add other destinations along the Garden Route so that you can make the most of every wonderful thing this area has to offer.

Garden Route Accommodation and Honeymoon Special offers!

It's almost the middle of April and as the days get shorter and the evenings cooler, we know that winter is on it's way.  For the sunlovers that is not good news but, as with most things in life, there is always something positive to consider!

Couples choosing the winter months for their marriage can make use of wonderful accommodation special offers that are available for honeymoons in the Garden Route.  For the month of May,  A Lodges and P Forest in Knysna, as well as W Manor in Wilderness are offering winter rates PLUS a free night if you book 3 nights' accommodation!  For September and October, F Ferns in Tsitsikamma joins that special and adds a picnic free as well.  A list of the current special offers are available from ross@honeymoonsolutions.co.za and we are expecting more offers to be added as time progresses.

June/July brings the soccer world cup, but certain establishments are again offering winter rates as the bookings are a bit slow in coming in.  Free nights are not on offer yet, but the rates are still good and savings are still possible.

Remember that you may benefit from these special offers even if you are not newly wed!  Any holiday can be transformed into a romantic or adventure breakaway with Creative Honeymoon Solutions!

Knysna Honeymoons

The Garden route - Knysna in particular - still has the magic that brings thoughts of tranquility, romantic boat trips, forest picnics and toast the sunset on the beach.  This is what makes it such a perfect choice for honeymoon couples that want to spend the day exploring and relax to peace and quiet at night.

The wonderful thing is that there are a wide variety of establishments that offer quality accommodation - often with the ever popular spa bath in the bathroom - at very reasonable rates.  The cost of your accommodation need not prevent you from enjoying all that the area has to offer and to splash out on that yacht trip, the relaxing spa package or the candle-lit dinners!   

Your comfort ensured, we will even throw in a lagoon or sea view!

  
 
 

 
 

New things

According to Theodore Levitt: "CREATIVITY is thinking up new things. INNOVATION is doing new things" so today Creative Honeymoon Solutions is innovative as we try our hand at blogging! The topics available are endless but will they all be beneficial to prospective honeymoon couples? The best approach, I decided, would be to discuss places where I have been and you still want to go. This way I hope to provide a bit of an "inside" look to the destinations I can offer you. I have chosen Whales Way in Wilderness to start with as I often use their magical photo when advertising packages. This intimate guesthouse has 2 penthouse suites that invite you to move right in. The views are awesome and even those that are travelling on a smaller budget, can enjoy them as the "deep blue" and "beach room" are also comfortable sea view choices! As attention to detail is important to this owner-run establishment, couples feel welcomed and special during their entire stay. Ali also offer Chi massages on the premises. Creative Honeymoon Solutions has the establishment listed under the Platinum as well as Silver Splendour categories and we will advise which room would suit your budget best.
