Weddings
The Franschhoek valley is one of the world's great places to get married.
The Bunkhouse earns its place in that company - not through grandeur, but through something harder to manufacture: genuine character, a setting that takes your breath away, and a hospitality that feels personal from the first conversation to the last dance.
Located on a working olive farm on the mountain, where ancient orchards give way to fynbos and the valley opens up below, it's wild in the best sense. Unhurried. Honest. The kind of place that makes people go quiet when they first arrive - and loud again around the table.
Ceremonies in the open air, with the mountain and the olive groves as your witnesses. Receptions around long tables, lit by fire, fed from a kitchen that doesn't cut corners. The kind of day your guests talk about on the drive home - not because of the flowers, but because of how it felt.
Refined, but never pretentious. Special, without trying too hard to be.

The ceremony
The farm provides a setting that no decorator can replicate. Olive trees that have been standing longer than anyone can remember. Mountain air. The valley stretched out below. Whether you say your vows in the orchard, on the lawn, or somewhere entirely your own, the surroundings do what surroundings here do best - they make the moment feel permanent.
The reception
The Bunkhouse was built for long evenings around a table. The dining room holds its own, warm, characterful, lit the way a room should be lit when something worth celebrating is happening inside it. Spill outside when the night calls for it. The harvest table, the braai, the kitchen; all of it is at your service, and none of it will let you down.
Let's talk
Every wedding at The Bunkhouse is handled personally. No formulas; just a conversation about what you want and how we can make it happen. Get in touch and let's start planning.
