PLETTENBERG BAY | KNYSNA NEWS - Plett and Knysna have been known as romantic destinations for many years and it recently became official when they featured on Lonely Planet's list of top 10 most romantic places in the world to get engaged.
The article mentions Plettenberg Bay, Knysna and Wilderness as Garden Route destinations, by name: "Ready for a road trip to remember? Drive along South Africa's Garden Route, which stretches from Mossel Bay to Storms River, taking in some of the world's most beautiful coastline.
"Propose during a barefoot walk along Noetzie Beach, or pluck up the courage after a wine or two at the vineyards outside Plettenberg Bay. Alternatively, you could ask your loved one to take the leap - literally and figuratively - in the town of Wilderness, where you can paraglide over sweeping beaches or cliff-jump on a canyon tour; marriage is an adventure, so why not start as you mean to go on?"
Plettenberg Bay Tourism chief executive Patty Butterworth said the Garden Route, and specifically Plett, has long been a coveted romantic destination for engagements, proposals, weddings and honeymoons.
"With a selection of locations to 'pop the question', from forest to sea, we are sure you will find a perfectly memorable spot," she said.

The location has not only appealed to couples wanting to tie the knot, but also to the silver screen. Plettenberg Bay has been the backdrop of several romantic "dates" on matchmaking reality television shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
