Enjoy a cosy honeymoon, curled up by the fire with a glass of red in hand at one of these winter honeymoon destinations.
Although many people dream of lazing on tropical beaches, sipping on cocktails, and swimming in the ocean, there are still plenty of beautiful spots to spend your honeymoon during the winter months.
Snuggle up with your new spouse in one of these honeymoon accommodations.
1. umVangati House, Hoedspruit
Feel like the only two people in the world in these mountain-view suites. Enjoy the panoramic scenery of the much-loved Blyde River Canyon, even from the luxurious corner baths. You can also spot wildlife from your suite, as animals frequent the watering hole in view of the accommodation. umVangati House is perfect for doing absolutely nothing, or getting out for a hike by the canyon and game viewing in the nearby game reserves.
