Ways I Achieved An Amazing Date Night With Spectacular Lighting

Planning a romantic date night doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, the best experiences come from simple, thoughtful touches. I recently pulled off an unforgettable evening with my partner at Kam’Bati River Resort, and it took surprisingly little effort. Here’s how you can do the same.

Why Kam’Bati River Resort?

First off, Kam’Bati River Resort is a gem tucked away along the Breede River near Swellendam, perfect for a relaxing escape. Having partnered with Africamps, this meant booking a cabin here was a no-brainer. The natural beauty and serene atmosphere set the stage for a perfect date night. Plus, their amenities make it easy to add special touches without a lot of fuss.

Prepping the Wood Fired Outdoor Bath

One of the coolest features of our cabin was the wood fired heated outdoor bath. Here’s how you can make the most of it with minimal effort:

Prep Ahead: Before your partner arrives, gather some firewood and matches, all available at the resort. Maybe grab extra if you’re planning a long night. The setup is pretty straightforward, I would suggest you start early, 3 hours before the big night as heating up can take some time.

Set the Scene: Light the fire and let the water heat up. While it’s warming, you can set up a couple of drinks nearby. I went with our favourite wine—easy and effective.

Enjoy: The warm water combined with the cool evening air and the sound of the crackling fire creates a cosy, intimate setting. It’s a great way to relax, enjoy the sunset and connect without doing much at all.

Solar String Lights and LED Solar Candles by Stellar Lighting 

Adding a bit of magic to the night was even easier thanks to Stellar Lighting’s Solar String Lights and to add that last touch of glow, I opted for LED Solar Tea Light Candles around the rim of the tub. Here’s how you can use them:

Charge During the Day: These lights are solar-powered, so make sure they’re placed in the sunlight during the day. Kam’Bati River Resort’s sunny environment makes this a breeze.

Effortless Setup: By the time the sun sets, the lights will be fully charged and ready to go. They automatically turn on as it gets dark, so there’s no need to fumble with switches or plugs. I wrapped the string effortlessly around nearby trees and closed standing umbrellas. The thick string and shatterproof bulbs means you don’t have to be too careful when hanging them up as I did drop the string once or twice.

Ambiance Created: The soft glow from the string lights and LED candles added a magical touch to our evening. She was very impressed and we ended up having a wonderful late night. We even had some geese waddle up the hill and stare at us in envy.
