Strictly No Smoking in the Forest: The Forest Chapel is a high-fire-risk area. If smoking is observed in the forest, the ceremony will be moved immediately to the indoor chapel.

We suggest the Gooderson Kloppenheim Country Resort for those not staying on the venue, but there are many options within a 10km radius that might fit individual needs better.

Question

What is there to do on the venue itself?

Answer

There is plenty to do on the farm itself. The farm is 300 hectares of rolling grasslands and all of our guests have full access over the weekend! The venue has four stocked trout dams for fly-fishing, which is strictly catch and release. So feel free to bring your fishing gear and your best flies. There are scenic forest and mountain walks which lead to a waterfall. For animal lovers there are multiple indigenous buck and other species on the farm and it is a popular birding spot!
