Oak House, as it is known today, was the result of a goal to renovate a dull guesthouse in order to create a venue that effectively serves the memory of the luxurious and beautiful and elegant first manager’s house. In early 2010,  this dream was realised when Oak House venue was re-opened and hosted its first wedding, with many other functions that followed.

An environment had been produced that was filled with authentic South African history and promised to be a perfect wedding destination. Oak House envisions an experience for the bride and groom where they will receive unparalleled service both before and on their momentous day.

The efficient, endearing and effective team will ensure that you receive only the best service, advice and treatment from the first viewing of the venue right up until the morning after your wedding at the breakfast table. Oak House offers a variety of packages and services.

From the famous Sir Herbert Baker designed Anglican Church, which is used for the wedding ceremonies, to several fantastic sites for breath-taking photos, and of course the guesthouse and wedding venue; you will feel relaxed and assured that Oak House can make your wedding dreams a reality.
