Halliwell Country Inn, with it’s original homestead dating back to the 1830’s, was originally a fortified wagon stop. Our chapel was originally a “Smithy” where wagons were repaired and horses shod. Today we reflect a picturesque country hotel set on 250 acres of open lawns and incredible views of the Karkloof Valley. Our neighbours, the Halliwell Rest Home for Horses, ensure a constant view of these beautiful animals enjoying the beautiful pastures and fresh air on offer. Our wedding venue, set just behind the main building, can accommodate up to 280 guests. Our reception venue, with varying shades of creams and whites, can have our draping moved to create the intimate space you require. To align to the venue, we offer 15 rooms on site, a swimming pool as well as a fully operational A La Carte restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also offer catering for events pre and post your wedding to ensure all aspects in planning the wedding are covered. Our wedding packages allow for all contingencies, so if a garden ceremony is what you want but the weather turns foul on the day we can use the chapel, if canopies and Pimms were to be served at the poolside gazebo we can switch to the hotel dining room if available or the cosy pub. We plan our prices around your needs and allow for changes relating to weather at no additional cost. From small intimate gatherings to extravagant celebrations of 300 guests or more, Old Halliwell has the package just for you. Garden Ceremony’s: 250 acres of lawn, forest & paddocks with great views of the Karkloof valley, garden ceremonies prove to be extremely popular. However as they are weather dependent, we do have the chapel or poolside gazebo as a standby. There is no extra set up charge shoul
