Now that our full photo gallery has arrived and we have had some time to reflect on our wedding day, it was high time that we send you a personal thank you note.
Magnificent! From start to finish, absolutely magnificent! Thank you!!!
You had my dad with the first coffee. And for us, having booked the venue before we had seen it for ourselves, we were a bit nervous, but it exceeded our expectations! The communication with you was always easy and attentive.
The ceremony venue, the braai area, the pool, the reception venue, the beautiful spa and all the accommodation were fantastic. We felt so welcome and well looked after. All the staff were professional and super friendly. There was no ask too big.
The food was fantastic! Even though there were some leftovers, we received only the best compliments for the catering, especially the canape set-up on the lawn. Lushce your South Africa dishes are still being talked about by our guests!
We would also like to thank you for the stress-free set-up and pack-up before and after the wedding. This was an absolute game changer for us!
Please let me know if we can add a review for you on a specific platform.
I will forward the link to the full gallery from Laura Jean for you to have a look at.
We will definitely visit again when we are back in KZN the next time!
Lots of love,
Anja & Matthias

It was such a joy to be able to share this beautiful space with our family and friends, and the accommodation was nothing short of spectacular. Having everyone stay together truly made the celebration even more meaningful.
Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We will forever cherish the memories made at your wonderful venue.
Warm regards,
