Newlyweds looking out over the bushveld and mountains at MyAfrica Farm

Veld & Vine Weddings & Events

Where the mountains meet the wild

At MyAfrica Farm we host weddings beneath the mountain, with our very own in-house events company to plan and manage your day to perfection. The Alpaca Café gives you the perfect lawn for celebrating, while the farm opens up into wide open spaces beneath the trees in the bush.

More than a venue

Your celebration, not a package recreated

MyAfrica Farm gives you open lawns, natural veld, mountain views and the character of a working farm. Our team works closely with you on the layout, styling, décor, flowers, food, drinks, entertainment and the flow of the day — from intimate ceremonies beneath open skies to long-table garden receptions and evenings under the stars.

Stay a little

Close the farm off for the weekend

Where exclusive-use accommodation applies, the property is booked as one unit rather than as individual rooms — a private sanctuary for your wedding weekend. The full rate stands even if fewer rooms are occupied.

  • R 15 000 per evening — indicative full-property rate. The four rooms sleep 10.
  • Check-in from 14:00, with assisted check-in until 15:30 unless otherwise arranged.
  • Optional breakfast at R 285 per person: juice, freshly baked croissants, yoghurt and muesli, seasonal fruit, and eggs, bacon and toast.

The bridal couple allocates rooms, coordinates guests and settles the accommodation charges on the wedding account.
