Popular destinations for many weekend getaways include getting away from it all and into the country where people can spend time either relaxing in the tranquil peace and quiet of the countryside or experience adventure sports such as river rafting or canoeing on the many rivers throughout South Africa. Romantic destinations are usually situated on picturesque properties out in nature and can do wonders in relieving stress for any overworked person.

Hermanus is another good example of a popular place that many go and spend time relaxing at and a particularly good time to visit this coastal town is during the whale watching season when great southern right whales visit SA coastlines to calf. Other ideas of what can be done in one or two days include a boat trip to Robben Island, go shark cage diving, visit some of the Cape’s world renown wine farms or take a trip up Table Mountain in the cable car. Wherever you are and what ever you enjoy doing in and around South Africa there are many places to spend weekend getaways and day trips.

The most luxurious lighthouse family getaway offering is the inactive Shark Island Lighthouse at the Shark Island Resort in Lüderitz, which can be quite expensive. Of South Africa’s 31 lighthouses only five offer accommodation. In the Western Cape you have a choice from three, in one of the three cottages at Cape Columbine near Paternoster on the West Coast, or in the self-catering cottage at Cape St Blaize, outside Mossel Bay.

Danger Point, which looks across to the notorious rock that sank the HMS Birkenhead, also has self-catering accommodation. Heading up the coast, accommodation is available at the Great Fish Point lighthouse near Port Alfred, and the North Sand Bluff at Port Edward has two romantic cottages on offer. Daytime visits are possible to most in the country if you are not intending on spending a lighthouse family holiday together on the ocean’s edge.
