She’s been your “bestie” since day one and on Mother’s Day you get to make her feel extra special — and let’s face it, she deserves to be pampered. But how to spoil her? Every year, it seems to get harder and harder to find that perfect gift. So, we’ve compiled a short list of where to take your mom to celebrate her day.
A pamper day
Nothing will get a “pampered mommy” more excited than a day at the spa. Spoil your mom by taking her on a Mother’s Day weekend to the African Pride Mount Grace Country House & Spa in Johannesburg. Indulge in fine cuisine, beautiful views and luxurious spa treatments, because no one deserves it more than her.
A dinner (and a dance)
For the mother who wants to be swept off her feet, book a table at the Buena Vista Social Café in the Waterfront in Cape Town. A fusion of Salsa dancing lessons and Mexican dining makes this a truly unique Mother’s Day experience that no one will forget.
Booking is essential to get your groove on.
A day of sightseeing
If yours is a mom who can’t stop moving, why not book a Mother’s Day outing on the Ricksha Bus in Durban. Hop on and take a journey around this beautiful city. From its golden beaches to exploring the Victoria Street Market, it’s bound to be a busy day of fun.
A cocktail evening
When your mother’s phone is an extension of her arm take her to a venue where she will be seen, the trendiest spot in Pretoria, the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Menlyn Hotel. The new kid on the Highveld block has trendy deco only matched by it sublime “adult milkshake” cocktails. So pack in that selfie stick, get snapping and share the love this Mother’s Day.
A night at the theatre
Fugard Theatre Bioscope, in Cape Town, every Sunday hosts an extravaganza of international shows on their big screen. Allow international performances, from all the most recognisable stages, wow and delight your mother as she is treated to the very finest in theatre, opera and ballet.
