If your midweek dinner routine has been looking a little… uninspired, The Turbine Hotel’s Island Café is about to make your Wednesdays way more delicious — and romantic.
All through October, Island Café is turning up the charm with a Date Night Special that’s perfect for lovebirds, besties, or anyone who appreciates a good meal with great company. Here’s the deal:
👉 Order any main course and get 50% off your starter of choice. All night. Every Wednesday. No secret handshake required.
- Set on Thesen Island, Island Café is already one of Knysna’s best-kept dining secrets — with its fairy-lit patio, cozy indoor seating, and a kitchen that knows its way around both comfort food and culinary flair.
Add a midweek special that lets you share a couple of starters (without sharing the bill pain), and you’ve got the perfect excuse to step away from the stove and lean into a little local luxury.
Whether you’re a local couple escaping the kids for a few hours, new loves discovering each other over calamari, or even solo with a book and a glass of red (because self-love counts), this is a vibe you don’t want to miss.
The Fine Print (aka the not-so-fine part):
-
Offer valid Wednesday evenings in October
-
Sit-down only
-

-
