Fountainhill gave us the most incredible and memorable weekend.

We hosted a small wedding ceremony on this beautiful estate. Before I go into all the detail, I wanted to say the biggest thank you to Monique and the staff who went truly above and beyond to make our wedding one of the happiest days for our lives and that of our families too. All our guests raved about the accommodation. Spacious, elegant, and ultra comfortable, complete with little luxuries like chocolates on pillows, a bar fridge, a towel heating rack and cute bath/shower toiletries. We stayed in the Blue Crane suite and it was wonderfully romantic.

The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and more. The calm and welcoming energy of the dining room facilitated all of our meals and was happily returned to every time. Thank you to the cleaning staff who washed all the dishes (and also for ironing my post-ceremony dress at the last minute !). The chapel, with golden light streaming in from the windows, was the perfect place to walk down the aisle. I loved ringing the bell as we exited, joined by the sweet swallows flying around.

We captured some breathtaking moments around the reserve, our favourites being the dam during sunset and the top view overlooking the gorge and surrounding farmland. The outside area had an impressively sized braai and grid, which the guys really enjoyed, as well as jumping in the pool to cool off. Our fireside chats and celebrations lasted well into the night, amazingly well sound proofed from the rooms! It was all so hassle-free and relaxed, and the management really are “in your corner”. A refreshing change from many other venues, which are so stringent and feel like they just want to get the most money out of you. A special thank you for helping make one of the rooms disability-friendly too.

We didn’t want to leave and could easily re-live the day again and again. Thank you Fountainhill ❤

Fountainhill Estate has been one of the most amazing places to stay. We stayed in the Georgenau Cottage and the wildlife and view were spectacular. It is so peaceful and beautiful. You can sit on the patio and watch the wildlife all day as there is always something to see.

I would totally recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a little getaway that is still close to home.

Our stay was far too short. The farm is absolutely beautiful as are the ever-friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you to everyone at Fountainhill Estate.
We will be back

Thank you for accommodating us at short notice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though it was a short one. We were very impressed by the condition of the suite and would recommend you to anyone in need.
