Glamping Romance
A
stay in a Riverside Luxury Tent at Leeuwenhof Country Hotel and Spa (www.portfoliocollection.co.za) is like
sleeping in your very own beautifully appointed wedding tent. Country romance
is the theme of this elegant stay, and the spacious tent has soft fabric
ceilings, cream furniture and curtains, blue-grey and cream striped bedding
with white linen.
The
tent has a wooden floor with lounge, bedroom area and full bathroom, cleverly
separated by two high wardrobes. Outside there is a private deck with outdoor shower and your very
own Jacuzzi spa bath overlooking the riverine bushveld. Set well away from the
main hotel, overlooking natural hillside, the feeling is of being elite guests in
a private nature reserve.
Luxe
glamping at its best, there is air-conditioning, heating, electric blankets and
the choice of surrounding window blinds open to the cool breeze and sounds of
nature.
Decadent
pillow treats, a candle-lit foam bath and a caring turn-down service are the
final romantic touches leading to sighs of happiness at the end of the day.
Accommodation Experience
This
is such a romantic suite and of course I am here alone on a work trip. I have
an intense bout of loneliness and self-pity. I wallow in my misery for a while,
then tell myself to buck up and make the most of this amazing opportunity. I
head out to the Jacuzzi and am instantly cheered up by the experience of lying
in bubbles with a pretty view of the sun setting over the river and hillside. The
mindful relaxation soon takes me through a portal into a deeper space where
there is no loneliness or despair, only a feeling of connectedness and
wellbeing. A character stay like this, which pampers and nurtures, as well as
drawing one out into nature, is a beautiful space for a romance with life in
all its aching loveliness.
