The Outdoor Forest Chapel

Follow the cobbled pathway through trees to reach our hidden forest chapel — a circular clearing with shaded, canopied seating on both sides. This peaceful space is a one-of-a-kind wilderness ceremony site, offering serenity and intimacy under the African sky.

The Bush Bar & Outdoor Deck

Our safari-style outdoor deck is perfect for intimate receptions, casual drinks, and post-ceremony celebrations. Overlooking wild grasslands, it creates a relaxed, open-air atmosphere ideal for wedding receptions, birthday parties, or milestone celebrations. The bush bar adds a unique touch of charm, and the firepit invites guests to linger long after the sun sets.

Weekend Weddings

We specialise in full weekend weddings, where guests arrive on Friday, enjoy a weekend of celebration, and depart on Sunday. The main wedding event typically takes place on Saturday evening, creating a relaxed and immersive bushveld wedding experience for both the couple and their guests.


With no interruptions — only the sounds of nature — your wedding becomes an unforgettable nature-inspired experience.
