Carmen Reddy's East Coast Valentine

Updated Feb. 12, 2025, 6:26 a.m. | By East Coast Breakfast

This Valentine's season has Carmen feeling a bit emotional about the beautiful province of KZN. So, she's spreading the love throughout the province in a big way!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we’re all looking for ways to make the day special for those who we love. Some of us are still trying to find someone very special to spend the day with.

This year, Carmen Reddy decided to make KZN her valentine. Yes, a whole province. So if you’re single, you’re technically Carmen’s valentine.

10 February: 4 days until Valentine’s Day

To make this week super special, Carmen set out on a quest to find some of the most romantic places in KZN where she could spend the day loving and appreciating the province. Seeing as she’s a woman of elegance and sophistication, not just any place would do.

Carmen was seeking something new, something incredible and undeniably special - whether it’s a breathtaking waterfall, a hidden treasure somewhere deep in nature, or a restaurant with a spectacular (because she really loves good food).

She asked the loyal listeners to send through their suggestions for a spot they feel is the most romantic in KZN, where Carmen can feel the love.

KZN didn’t disappoint. The team received countless suggestions, from the Leopard Walk Lodge, Berghouse & Cottages, Lake Eland Game Reserve, and even Paradise Valley. Carmen was literally spoilt for choice.

However, Darren and Sky aren’t really as excited for Valentine’s Day. I mean, it only happens every year. So their plans were a bit more chilled. Darren planned to spend the whole day with his Anna and the kids, and Sky was happy to just be surrounded by Clarise and his boys - playing FIFA.

11 February: 3 days until Valentine’s Day

There’s three days until the big day and Carmen didn’t give up on her quest.

After the many suggestions and recommendations of where to go and what to do for this special day, she finally knew where in KZN she would feel the love! The Beverly Hills Hotel. Like we said, Carmen is a woman of elegance and sophistication.

She decided to make this day even better by involving Darren and Sky in her plans. Yep. There’s no way these two can stay at home while Carmen is at the Beverly. So, she used her connections and called Andrew - the manager of the Beverly Hills Hotel - to set up a special Valentine’s Day Breakfast for her, the boys (Darren and Sky), and their partners. She was not taking no for an answer.

Although, you can’t celebrate KZN without having more of KZN there. That would just be weird. So, she went even further and organized to invite a limited number of KZN couples to join the Breakfast Team for this grand celebration of love and companionship.

If you’re a couple wanting to join the Breakfast Team at the Beverly Hills on Friday, all you have to do is send WhatsApp your special love story to 061 792 9495. Your story of love might just get you a date at one of Durban’s finest hotels, with Durban’s finest Breakfast Team!

Then, there was a twist. A lady named Beverly messaged Carmen asking for her help. She’s a 40-year-old divorced woman who’s looking to get back into the ring of love and find a potential new beau to share this Valentine’s with, and maybe even the rest of her life. So, what better way to find her a new love than to get her (and one lucky KZN man) on a blind date at the Beverly Hills Hotel? So that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Bridgit is joining the team at Beverly Hills to meet someone new and celebrate this special day. Could you be that someone new? If you’re a man looking for a new Belle, email [email protected] and shoot your shot. However, Bridgit has some criteria. Read all about the man of her dreams here.
