If you’re dreaming of a wedding that blends natural beauty with historic charm, Pampoenkraal at the Altydgedacht Wine Estate is a perfect choice. Located in the heart of Durbanville, just minutes from Cape Town’s city conveniences, this venue offers a peaceful escape surrounded by majestic oak trees and open fields. The estate dates back to 1698, giving your celebration a meaningful connection to South African history.
Pampoenkraal’s standout feature is its charming lapa, a traditional South African thatched structure that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. This space comfortably hosts up to 140 guests with a dance floor included, or up to 200 guests if the dance floor moves to the adjacent smaller lapa. Imagine your wedding framed by the sight of horses grazing in the distance—an unforgettable backdrop that adds to the venue’s rustic elegance.
Food lovers will appreciate Pampoenkraal’s focus on open-fire cooking, which brings a unique and interactive element to your wedding feast. Starters and desserts are beautifully plated and served, while the main course is offered as a generous buffet. A chef carves and serves the meats on-site, ensuring a fresh and engaging dining experience that your guests will remember.
