Nightjar Wedding Venue

Log cabin romance and rustic bliss, this one takes some beating. Natures beauty really does provide an awesome backdrop and gives a very natural and relaxed vibe to this venue option for smaller more intimate weddings of less than 100 guests. The Nightjar venue achieves what it sets out to do, while being totally unique.

Say your vows within an old koffieklip chapel next to a waterfall and overlooking the lake and fynbos covered mountains. Beers and ciders will then be kept cold on ice in sink baths with a large harvest table groaning under the weight of fresh homemade breads, meats, cheeses and preserves made from our very own farm produce, all served under the shade of a giant tree. Guests can chill on the wooden deck or picnic on the lawn, cool off in the dam, fish or play garden games as the sun sinks beneath the fynbos covered mountains.

As the evening cools, the party will move into the log cabin reception venue. Built by hand from materials largely sourced from the farm or valley, with the smell of lumber still in the air – you and your guests will find your dancing feet and boogie until you feel the need to retire next to the deck overlooking the lake and talk until the sun comes up. With a large roaring fire both inside and out, the Nightjar venue is perfectly cosy for a winter wedding.  For summer vibes, your guests will be spending all weekend in the fresh mountain water of the dam.

Offering stunning views and rustic charm, this venue gives you the freedom to create a truly bespoke wedding. With two nights accommodation in the simple farmstead and stable rooms (sleeping 50) included and due to its remote location, the Nightjar could be described as a laid-back festive wedding venue.
