Question

Are children allowed?

Question

Is there accommodation on the farm?

Answer

Yes! Sweetfontein offers a range of beautiful rooms and 4 glamping tents. Capacity is limited to 62 guests, so please RSVP as soon as possible so we can help allocate rooms fairly and according to budget preferences. As well as whether or not we need to arrange accommodation around the farm and guests can take a shuttle (there is another house that sleeps 6 approximately 10km away)

Question

What should we expect for the weekend?

Answer

This is a full weekend celebration, just the way we love to travel. Friday: Arrival + veld braai under the stars Saturday: Wedding day (complimentary breakfast; ceremony starts at 3:30 PM) Sunday: Farewell breakfast

Question

How do we get to Sweetfontein?

Answer

From Cape Town, the drive is around 7 hours, and it’s a beautiful, adventurous route. You can also fly to Kimberley and drive approximately 3 hours from there, but the venue recommends driving due to possible flight delays. If a group would like to travel together, a shared shuttle is a great idea.

Question

What is the cost of the accommodation?

Answer

This varies - you are more than welcome to have a look on their website to get an idea. However as a wedding group, we get the accommodation at a slightly cheaper rate and will advise accordingly.
