Dear Diana, Johan and Gail,
Thank you so much for all the effort, care and attention you put into our wedding day - we chose Fynbos Estate for our wedding because we felt at home there, and you certainly didn’t disappoint. The entire weekend was so smooth and relaxing, despite our big crowd and numerous events. This was definitely due to the time you put into planning, preparing, thinking and making sure that everything was organized before the event. We could not have done it without you.
In terms of all the people involved - we were so lucky to find a place that values its staff and looks after them - this is reflected in the warmth of every person we encountered at Fynbos estate. Everything was done with a smile and enthusiasm, and the atmosphere that this creates is very
to replicate. So wonderful to feel that everyone was happy on our wedding day and that nothing we asked was too much. I especially loved the staff coming out to the stoep in the wee hours and having a big laugh at the craziness going on the dance floor!
Most importantly, we left Fynbos on the Sunday afternoon wishing we could do it over and over again every weekend - a clear sign that it had all gone exceptionally well!!
We will be back for weekends,
Liz and Andrew
Dear Diana, Johan and Gail
Our very special thanks go to you all for doing so much to make last weekend's wedding such a success. The whole w/e went so smoothly thanks to the excellent organisation and to the fact that you were all there in person. The venue was delightful, accommodation comfortable and attractive and all the meals, particularly the wedding dinner, were delicious, well set out and happily served up by your staff.
I would happily recommend Fynbos estate to anyone looking for a venue for a function. Thank you all for the happy occasion we spent on your estate.
Very best wishes and regards
Anne Legg (Mother of the bride)
It was a fantastic wedding and getaway for all of us – thanks to you, Dianna and Johan and your team.
Hopefully we will return for a reunion sometime!

I stumbled upon the Fynbos Estate website purely by chance after looking at every wedding venue listed on every wedding website I could find. Luke grew up on a farm and we are both very relaxed nature lovers. We knew we needed a venue that was small and unpretentious where we could relax and be ourselves. I also knew I wanted a venue that would allow us to set up the day before and that would let us book up the entire venue so we could have the place to ourselves all weekend. I knew Fynbos Estate was "the place" the moment I found the website, and mailed Diana immediately. We were unfortunately organising our wedding from Durban so could not visit the venue before booking. Luckily Diana was happy to answer email after email full of questions, and when dates started getting booked up in January we both felt happy and comfortable enough to take the plunge and book the venue without seeing it. To say Fynbos exceeded our expectations and hopes would be an understatement. It is thanks to Gail, Diana, Johan and their outstanding staff that our day was absolutely perfect. For someone who tends to stress about and overthink things, I was almost unnaturally calm in the time leading up to the wedding. I have no doubt that this is due to Gail and Diana's unwavering professionalism and efficiency - these ladies know how to organise a wedding! Every detail was discussed, thrashed out and organised in advance, leaving almost nothing to chance on the day. There was a plan b for every potential problem, and the staff were incredibly flexible and easygoing. Gail was extremely helpful and offered advice and suggestions whenever necessary. After months of corresponding via email, I felt like we were friends when we eventually met 5 days before the wedding, and I miss our regular wedding related email correspondence now! The accommodation is spacious and comfortable and the old farmhouse is absolutely beautiful. It was so special to be able to have our family and close friends staying at the venue all weekend, and we enjoyed a wonderful braai together on the Friday evening under the massive oak tree. We were so well taken care of on the day of the wedding - the staff were friendly, professional and efficient without being overbearing and interfering. Gail and Diana were present throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, and any concerns or questions that we had during the evening were addressed and clarified immediately. The food was delicious and plentiful - Johan is an excellent chef and we loved the fact that most of the ingredients were locally sourced from the nearby communities and everything (including the ice cream) was home made. We literally had nothing to worry about, as every detail during our special day was taken care of. We were left to relax, enjoy and take in the incredible experience of our dream wedding. Guest after guest asked us how we found this amazing place, and we would recommend this venue to any couple without a moment's hesitation. We can't wait to visit again - Fynbos Estate will always be a very special place in our hearts.
