## The Sandstone Chapel (ceremony)
Every stone in this chapel is carved using the same techniques used 100 years ago. The sought-after stones speak of workmanship, attention to detail and superior quality. The chapel can comfortably seat 120 guests on wooden benches. Weather permitting, your ceremony can also take place in the beautiful gardens! Seating on white, padded Wimbledon chairs.
## The lounge (canapés)
The Lounge is part of the original old building, and is the ideal space to enjoy mouth-watering canapés and drinks. This is the perfect space to cut your wedding cake and spend some time with your guests before you leave for your photoshoot.
The space is extremely cosy with a fireplace, couches, tables and chairs. The stoep offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.
## The Gallery (reception option 1)
This old shed has been transformed into a modern glass and steel reception venue with ample light streaming from all sides with rolling mountain views on show from every angle. The backdrop of the bar features a custom tile installation by Wolkberg Casting Studios. Maximum capacity of 80 guests.
## Ballroom (reception option 2)
Originating as a cheese factory many years ago, the larger one of our two venues is the perfect space for hosting a wedding reception for up to 120 guests. It features an imposing sandstone fireplace and thousands of fairy lights – creating a magical moody ambience! It also boasts a cosy lounge adjacent to the bar, as well as a patio with mesmerising mountain views.
