We attending a wedding at Die Heuwel yesterday. Its a beautiful venue, the staff is incredible. I regret not taking pictures or a videos of the canapes, it was delicious and beautifully setup. For dinner we had roasted potato wedges, green beans, a pumpkin fritter and chicken schnitzel with your choice of mushroom or cheese sauce (or both). For dessert we had malva pudding with custard and really yummy, creamy peppermint crisp cups 😘👌 Well done guys, I can highly recommend your venue to everyone ♥️

This must be one of the most beautiful hidden gems around Cape Town, perfect as a wedding or conference venue. We had our wedding there in June 2025. The barnyard style building has a warm, beautiful, and comfy feeling to it, has its own built-in bar, and has lots of space to create your dream table setup. Lizette, the hostess and owner, was amazing. She did everything for us, from table decorations, flowers, organizing caterers, photographer, even the DJ. We literally just arrived and enjoyed our memorable evening, no worries or stress ... she took care of EVERYTHING. Thank you, Lizette and team. It was amazing. The picture I add will speak for themselves. Hannes
