A Wedding to Remember

Bakenhof

Looking for a unique new wed­ding venue on an exclus­ive wine­farm for 50 guests? Something eleg­ant against a breath­tak­ing back­drop, lux­uri­ous yet afford­able? Then allow Bakenhof in the Cape Winelands to host your most beau­ti­ful day and to provide the per­fect ambi­ence - where your memor­ies will be cap­tured and where you will exper­i­ence romantic hours which you will fondly remem­ber for as long as you live.

A con­veni­ent 50 minutes from Cape Town a tree-lined drive­way guides you through man­i­cured vine­yards of an exclus­ive grape and wine farm to the per­fect back­drop for your spe­cial occa­sion. Lush gar­dens, a vine-covered ter­race, swim­ming pool, rolling lawns, and incred­ible moun­tain views will appeal to the dis­cern­ing bridal couple in search of an intim­ate and upmar­ket venue ...

Our philo­sophy to host only one wed­ding a day enables flex­ib­il­ity for last minute changes, should there be a change in weather or plans. 

The Wedding ...

The Wedding …
Set the scene with the sooth­ing sounds of a water fea­ture, bub­bly and sun­set vis­tas over table moun­tain, or sur­prise your guests with an unfor­get­table sun­downer tractor ride through the vine­yards.  Select one of the vari­ous romantic on-site areas to pledge your vows, indoors or out­doors. Then match one of our recep­tion areas to fit your per­sonal style and the desired mood.

Choose a gour­met candle light din­ner at a long table in the lav­ish formal lounge, opt for a day­time cel­eb­ra­tion between vines or select a romantic pic­nic blessed with breath­tak­ing views. Alternatively, dance the night away under the stars and be romanced by the magical ambi­ence of the trop­ical lit up pool area.

The Guesthouse…
Spacious and soph­ist­ic­ated 4 star Guesthouse with 5 lux­ury suites provide B&B for 14 guests fea­tur­ing irres­ist­ibly romantic and supremely private Honeymoon Suite with access down a mean­der­ing, peach-husk covered driveway.

The Guesthouse ...

And for those get­ting mar­ried else­where…
