The Hillside Chapelthe ceremonyOnce an old, rustic, stone dairy used by farmers, these ruins have been restored into a beautiful wooden and stone chapel. The chapel is situated on a hill, hence its name and is usually surrounded by a vast variety of antelope, zebra and wildebeest grazing the grassy plains. The chapel looks onto the game reserve, providing spectacular views for guests to admire before and after the service, as well as a stunning back drop for photos.
The inside allows guests to be captivated by the natural and rustic feel of the chapel, while embraced by the natural beauty all around. -

Island HoppingHoneymoon WishYour presence is presents enough, but if you insist......
We've lived together quite a while with all our pots and pans and as we don't need homely gifts we've got another plan! We know it's not traditional and not the way it's done, but rather than a wedding list we'd love a bit of sun. So if you'd like to give a gift and send us on our way, a donation to our honeymoon would really make our day.Honeymoon Account
