The steep driveway, lined with dozens of young Liquid Amber trees, leads you through the working protea and orchid farm to the luxury new venue complex and beyond. 20,000 fairy lights in trees around the venue complex and the extensive gardens add generously to the magical ambience of the estate and its tranquility.

The venue complex includes a beautifully designed large garden terrace with lined mature trees where ceremonies can take place or be setup with extensive outdoor garden furniture to enjoy welcome drinks and canap??s. An imposing double-volume entrance with staircase to 3 private bedrooms also forms the core of the venue facilities from which to the right, two sumptuous lounges with fireplaces and decks are. To the back of the entrance hall, wall to wall indoor windows allow a glimpse of a small indoor garden on which either side beautifully appointed male and female water closets are. Walking through the left of this entrance hall, it flows into the private dining room, through to the eclectic cocktail lounge and finally to the mirrored ballroom with wrap-around terraces.
