When you finally make a decision to marry the love of your life, it’s always difficult to come up with how exactly you’ll pop the question and where. Now that you’ve got the ring, you need the perfect location. With these spots in Cape Town, it will be an unforgettable experience.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens could just be the perfect spot for a fairytale proposal. There are a lot of spots for you to make your move: underneath the trees on a pathway in a forest escapeor by serene hidden rock pools. To make the moment magical, take a stroll around the gardens, then propose on one of the pathways that has a view of the mountain.
2. Tranquility Cracks
If you and your bride-to-be are adventurous, the route up the extraordinary Cracks is the best option for you. Tranquility Cracks is a spectacular jigsaw puzzle of rock formations. The hike is not too difficult, so you won’t feel exhausted by the time it’s time to pop the question. Plus, it’s generally a quiet place, so you don’t have to worry about any interruptions.
3. Cederberg Mountains
Treat your soon-to-be fiancé to a romantic getaway at Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat. We suggest the Riverside Supreme suite. It has amazing views of wind-sculpted rock formations in the foothill of the Cederberg mountains.
The suite features an infinity pool and an outdoor shower, and the patio is perfect for a candlelit Christmas dinner. Wrap up several gifts like Dior perfume or a Movado Bracelet watch from The Bay flyer and watch her open the gifts until she finally opens a box with the ring.
4. Mont Rochelle
With a view of the dam, Mont Rochelle makes for a memorable proposal. The estate will provide a blanket and a picnic basket filled with goodies (including dessert), and you can order wine or drinks to go with your picnic.
5. Platboom Beach
Imagine strolling across the beach, hand in hand with your love, listening to the sound of bird calls and crashing waves, then getting down on one knee and popping the question. If you are up for something intimate and cozy, this is the perfect spot. You can have the whole beach to yourself if you have good timing.
6. Slangkop Punt Lighthouse
Lighthouses were built to show boats how close they were to land so that they wouldn’t crash into the rocks at night. They are also designed to endure violent storms. It’s no surprise then that lighthouses are symbols of security and safety. How romantic to propose in such a symbolic place?

A hot air balloon ride cascading over the rolling vineyards, expansive fields of the Cape Winelands will be a magical experience. As you float in the air and enjoy the scenic views of the winelands, surprise her with the ring! The operators of the hot air balloon usually end the experience with a glass of bubbly, which is the perfect way to celebrate that ‘yes’.
8. Table Mountain
There are only a few places that are more captivating than Table Mountain at sunset, which is why it is the perfect way to propose. You can either take a hike, or use a cable car to go up the mountain. There is a cafe if you want to have High Tea, or you can carry up a bottle of champagne and hire a professional photographer to capture the moment.
9. Cape Peninsula
Take a helicopter ride over Cape Peninsula, and organize for the pilot to take you to a secret location. Arrange a romantic setup with a trail of candles and rose petals to the spot where you will propose.
10. Weltevrede Wine Estate
This unique wine tasting at this Estate is set underground in a cave. Pop the question after the historical wine-tasting session, set in a romantic sea of candles. Ask the staff to bring some MCC after she has said yes to seal the deal.
