Elandskloof, Greyton


If you are looking for a private escape, Elandskloof outside Greyton is ideal. Surrounded by mountains and wide open farmland, it feels like its own little world. The venue has rustic cottages for guests to stay over, making it perfect for a full weekend wedding. You can host your ceremony outdoors with mountain views and celebrate in their hall that combines charm and functionality.


From a photographer’s perspective: The mountain backdrops are spectacular in every season, and the golden hour light in the valley is simply unmatched. Because everything is in one place, we can move between scenic spots quickly, keeping portraits relaxed and natural without pulling you away from your guests for too long.

Die Woud is one of the most sought-after venues in the Overberg and with good reason. Imagine saying your vows in a natural cathedral of towering trees, with light filtering through the leaves. The glass reception venue allows you to dine and dance under the stars while still being sheltered.


From a photographer’s perspective: The filtered light in the forest creates a soft and romantic atmosphere that looks timeless in photos. The glass reception hall reflects the changing light beautifully, and day to night transitions here are magic to capture.
