Glass chapel, mountain views, fifteen luxury suites, and weekend-long celebrations for local and international couples.
Hanru Marais Photography 01 The Glass Chapel A forest that holds your vows Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the forest and the Crocodile River beyond. Willow branches move as you walk the aisle. Lengthy reflection pools on either side not only give the space a sense of tranquility, but also catch the glimmering light of the famed ‘golden hour.’ The space comes with black Tiffany chairs, a podium, a registry table and a DJ table; as included in the venue hire. 02 The Canapé Area Gather after your vows Perched on the banks of the majestic Crocodile River, whose waters meander all the way to the Kruger National Park, our enchanting canapé area is designed to stir the soul. This semi-covered riverside retreat includes a bar, restrooms, and generous seating as part of the venue hire. More than just a gathering space, it offers an opportunity to reconnect with family and friends while allowing you, as newlyweds, to pause, breathe, and savour the first precious moments of your journey together, reflecting on the vows you have just exchanged. The space comes with two lounge pockets, six conversational cocktail tables and chairs, a mobile bar and four large patio umbrellas; as included in the venue hire. 03 The Reception Hall Monolithic in structure, peaceful in design Our reception hall accommodates up to four hundred guests while effortlessly preserving a sense of warmth and intimacy. Framed by sweeping mountain views from every window, the space allows the evening to unfold gently and entirely at your own pace. Designed as a sophisticated dark canvas, the hall beautifully complements any colour palette, allowing your chosen décor to take centre stage and truly shine. Above, the dark ceiling creates the enchanting illusion of a starlit sky, while, as dusk gives way to night, the reflective glass walls come alive, capturing the glow of candlelight and celebration to create an atmosphere that is both magical and unforgettable. The space comes with clear Ghost Chairs, a choice of square or round tables, a podium, a gift table, cake table and a DJ table; as included in the venue hire. 04 The Estate and Fifteen guest suites set on 11 hectares, and the quiet of the Cradle Thoughtfully conceived and designed by owners Zavion and John, the villas and suites were created to evoke a genuine sense of belonging and effortless luxury. Each space offers its own unique experience: the Light Suite with a private garden, the Dark Suite with a secluded forest terrace, and the Honeymoon Villa featuring an infinity pool perched on the banks of the river. Complementing these signature villas are ten beautifully appointed standard suites, where nothing is truly standard, and two elegant executive suites; allowing the venue to comfortably accommodate up to thirty overnight guests. Every suite has been thoughtfully appointed to ensure exceptional comfort and effortless luxury. Featuring extra-length king-size beds, air conditioning, Nespresso machines, and every amenity you could need, each room is designed to feel like a true retreat. With a delicious breakfast included, your stay with us promises to be as memorable and extraordinary as the celebration itself. Beyond the rooms, the venue invites exploration. Hidden among the grounds are landscaped garden pockets, bird hides, beehives, wildflower meadows, and ancient forest trees waiting to be discovered. Just twenty minutes from Sandton, yet a world away from it all.
