There’s nothing like the sweet smell of new leaves on trees to remind us that summer is waiting with a warm embrace.
At De Hoek Country Hotel in the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountains, the walkways, the al fresco dining areas and the archery lawns are already enjoying their cooling shadows.
The team at De Hoek intend sharing the Summer joys with couples wanting to escape the bustle of the city and spend quality time together and have created two packages especially suited to Summer.
Their Sweet Summer is on offer from 1 September 2011. Couples can enjoy a romantic overnighter at this exclusive, five star destination, for a celebratory price of R3 900.
This special includes macaroons and homemade ice tea in the room upon arrival, a pre dinner drink, a five course dinner under the magical mountain stars, a romantic candlelit bubble bath with sparkling wine set up by the housekeeper and a sumptuous breakfast in the morning.
One night too short? De Hoek has thought of this too and is offering their Summer Celebration package: this package welcomes guests for two nights at a cost of R5600.
The package includes a welcome drink on the 1st night, followed by a five course dinner on both evenings, breakfast on both mornings and a light lunch on the second day. It also includes a candlelit bubble bath after dinner on the 2nd night and a complimentary activity during their stay – guests can choose from archery, boule or lawn croquet.
All accommodation is in their private Superior suites overlooking the indigenous forests or lush De Hoek gardens.
