If   you dream of a wedding molded around your personality, you will love Cederkloof, set amongst orange
orchards and fynbos covered mountains of the Olifants Valley. We have several different outdoor ceremony
areas, from a beautiful stretch of lawn beside the swimming pool to a hexagon stone platform in the mountains
or a deck over a river under indigenous willows and wild olives. The Opstal venue building is a magnificent
indoor-outdoor space for your reception or party.
Relaxed, unfussy and all about friends; Cederkloof can host a wedding or gathering from 10 to 120 people with
onsite accommodation in cottages or luxury tents for 30-40 guest.
The Citrusdal area offers plenty of additional accommodation and lots of activities to keep your guests busy
before and after the big event.
