I · The story

An Authentic Cape Farm Celebration

Muldersvlei is a real working farm in the Stellenbosch Winelands — thirty hectares of lemon orchards, cattle, and a historic Cape Dutch manor dating to 1817. We offer an authentic country celebration without pretense, surrounded by open skies and mountain views.

Exclusive use for your wedding day means no overlapping events and no rushed schedules. From ceremony on the lawn to late-night dancing in the Old Cellar, the farm is yours to celebrate with those who matter most.

The Manor Lawn
The ceremony — vows under the oaks and signing in the Manor House.
The Old Cellar
The reception — dinner and dancing in the Old Cellar, or long tables on the lawn under the stars.
The Guesthouse
Staying over — the wedding party sleeps a short stroll away, breakfast on the stoep in the morning.

A wedding weekend on the farm.

Not a six-hour hire. From Friday afternoon to Sunday breakfast, this is how a weekend here usually runs.

Check in to the guesthouse, unpack without rushing, and gather around the braai at the guesthouse or at the outdoor swimming pool near the Manor House. Up to 40 guests can be accommodated with prior arrangement.

02

Saturday morning

Getting ready

Coffee and breakfast on the stoep. The couple are welcome to use the rooms to get ready and take photographs around the werf.

03

Saturday afternoon

The ceremony

Vows on the Manor Lawn under the oaks, signing inside the Manor House, and your confetti moment on the manor steps.

04

Saturday, late afternoon

Photographs and drinks

Photographs in the grounds and the lemon orchard with the Simonsberg behind you, while your guests enjoy drinks nearby.

05

Saturday evening

Dinner and dancing

Reception in the Old Cellar, or long tables on the lawn under the stars — dancing until the lanterns burn low.

Sunday morning

A slow goodbye

Breakfast on the stoep with the people who stayed over, before everyone drifts home.
