February, the month of love, is upon us but if you’re weary of cramped restaurants or overpriced flowers every February, then why not try something a little different for that oh-so-romantic celebration or loving gesture?
In this post, we share some unique, romantic ideas for the month of love:
Catch the Sunset at Chappies or on Table Mountain

Few mountain drives are more scenic or special than Chapman’s Peak Drive, otherwise fondly known as ‘Chappies’.
With world-class engineering, heart-in-mouth twists and turns and gorgeous mountain- and ocean-views, Chappies is endlessly beautiful and perfect for a romantic outing.

During summertime, it’s also the perfect place to park or drive and watch the spectacular Cape sunsets. And what could be more romantic than a picnic or packed snack while you watch the sun dip?
- For Chapman’s Peak Drive standard tariffs, please see here: https://www.chapmanspeakdrive.co.za/tariff/standard.html.
Alternatively, if Chappies isn’t quite your fancy, why not catch a late cable car up and watch the sunset from Table Mountain?
With extended summer hours and long, balmy days, it’s a fun way to see the city in golden hour.

Indulge in an Iced Coffee Tasting at Revved Up Cafe

Revved Up Cafe went viral for their hot chocolate tastings in 2024 and now, they’ve got the perfect summer fix: iced coffee tastings!
If you and your lover are coffee fiends, then you’ll certainly enjoy this unique coffee tasting.
At present, their coffee tasting costs R99 per person and includes a creme brulee iced coffee (paired with a mini vanilla muffin); a Vietnamese-style condensed milk iced coffee (paired with a mini cheesecake ball); and a cookies and cream iced coffee (paired with a brownie bite).
As a bonus, well-behaved, leashed pets are allowed in their seating area so you can bring your furry friend along on the date!
Walk-ins are welcome but you can also book here via Dineplan.
Enjoy a Sunset Cruise at the V&A Waterfront

If you’re up for something more adventurous, why not book a soothing sunset cruise at the V&A Waterfront? As a fun, summery bonus, these tours usually include some sparkling wine to toast to at sea.
There are several tour operators, like City Sightseeing Cape Town and Waterfront Charters, who offer this type of sunset cruise so it’s simply a matter of picking your preferred one and/or sticking within your budget.
Pricing varies according to the tour operator and experience but can cost anything from R900 for two to R500 to R600 per person.
Sunset cruises are normally weather-dependent so always check ahead with your provider.
Cuddle up for a Movie with The Galileo, The Labia, Nu Metro or SterKinekor

Last but not least, why not cuddle up for a movie with your special person? There are a number of great options to choose from.
You can hit up our traditional movie houses, Ster-Kinekor or Nu Metro, or choose something more unique like a movie at The Labia Theatre or even one under the stars with The Galileo - Open Air Cinema.
Just book your movie tickets, get the snacks and you’re sorted!
