Cape Town - Show your mom and dad just how much they mean to you by booking lunch, dinner, afternoon tea or some indulgent spa time at One&Only Cape Town.

In just a few days it will be Mother’s Day and after that it’s a short time until Father’s Day is upon us. Make sure you’ve got your parents’ spoils sorted by arranging their accommodation and making your lunch, dinner, Afternoon Tea or Spa reservations in time for their important days.

One&Only Cape Town is South Africa’s only five-star urban resort and the winner of a multitude of international hospitality awards. It’s also the ideal family-friendly destination, with activities and spoils at every turn.

Thanks to the resort’s magnificent views of Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront and its elegant five-star surrounds (and did we mention the world class Spa?), both Mom and Dad will feel like first class citizens when treated to time here.

MAGNIFICENT MOM

Wine & dine

Treat Mom to a lavish Mother’s Day Buffet Lunch at Reuben’s on Sunday, May 12, featuring delectable seasonal offerings specially created by celeb chef Reuben Riffel for the big day.

With a penchant for seasonal and local produce and time-honoured cooking techniques given a contemporary twist, Reuben learned much of what he knows from his own mother and lunch at his restaurant is a mouth-watering treat for the whole family. Priced at R295 per person, R150 for 4-12 years and complimentary for 0-3 years. The buffet lunch is served from 12.30pm to 3pm.

Evenings-only restaurant Nobu will be entertaining Moms in style for lunch as well this Mother’s Day with their mouth-watering a la carte menu as well as Mother’s Day Bento Boxes (from R275 per Bento Box).

All mothers will also be treated to a complimentary selection of beautifully crafted petit fours as a finale to this Asian culinary spoil. Nobu will be open for lunch from 12.30pm to 3pm and dinner from 6pm to 11pm.

Time for tea

Afternoon Tea in Vista Bar & Lounge is a spoil any day of the week but this Mother’s Day promises to be extra special, thanks to Executive Pastry Chef René Simatos and her talented team of bakers and sugarcrafters efforts.

The Afternoon Tea theme this Mother’s Day will be ‘Marvellous Vintage’. Harking back to an era when very social engagement was a lavish affair, guests can expect to be greeted with a table dressed for the occasion in suitably vintage décor along with a lavish selection of old-fashioned sweet and savoury delicacies and classic favourites such as strawberries and cream Victoria Sandwich.

For the chocolate loving Moms, adding a Lindt Chocolate Fondue to the Afternoon Tea experience is a must! Afternoon Tea is priced at R165 per person and is available from 2.30pm to 5.30pm.

Me time for mom

Everybody loves a spa spoil and if it’s at One&Only Spa, expect Mom to be thrilled! The internationally acclaimed Spa is situated on its own island at the resort and boasts a host of stylish treatment rooms and state-of-the-art facilities.

The menu of face and body spoils is equally impressive, with a range of exclusive offerings from the ESPA brand as well as a specially developed choice of indigenous treatments. The Spa is also the only place in Africa to boast a Bastien Gonzalez Mani:Pedi:Cure studio.

The Spa will be offering a Mother’s Day special for the entire month of May. For R850, the recipient of this outstanding deal (valued at R1050) will receive a 30-minute ESPA Radiance Facial, a 30-minute ESPA Aromatherapy Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage as well as a 25-minute Paraffin Vanilla Refoundation Foot Massage.

As with all treatments enjoyed at the Spa, the offer includes complimentary use of the Thermal Suites including the Aroma-Steam Rooms, Saunas, Vitality Pools and Experience Showers.

Every treatment is also followed by complimentary tea served in the Relaxation Room. For an extra R495 the Paraffin Vanilla Refoundation Foot Massage can be upgraded to include a Bastien Gonzalez Full Pedicure.

Mom can win

One&Only Cape Town is offering all Moms a chance to win a stunning pearl and silver pendant from Uwe Koetter jewellers as well as a return transfer from home to One&Only Cape Town for the family in a Mercedes Maybach Zepellin.

To qualify, simply reserve a table for Mother’s Day lunch at either Nobu or Reuben’s or at Afternoon tea at Vista Bar & Lounge and she’s entered into the draw
