If I can't come for all 3 nights do I have to pay the full accommodation cost?
Yes. This is a fixed accommodation cost. Come make the most of it and stay until Monday ;) (Tuesday is a public holiday)
Will there be an open bar?
We will provide you with beer (including non-alcoholic), wine and champagne for the weekend but there will be a cash bar for those of you with a more extravagant taste.
What will the weather be like?
The Tankwa Karoo in December is usually hot during the day but it can cool down at night so pack those fur coats and bikini's!
Luckily there is a dam and shade for us to cool down in and fire pits to keep us warm at night.
What do I wear?
Friday (Casual) -
Saturday (Semi formal) -
Sunday (theme)
Please bring comfortable shoes and don't forget that we will be very much in nature - please wear closed shoes at night.
WHAT NOT TO WEAR?
Uncomfy shoes! Please could we also ask you to avoid wearing white for the weekend.
CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE OR CHILDREN?
Plus one's: If their name was on the invite, they are invited.
Children: are most welcome. Please notify Oli or Jaide if you will be bringing your kids.
IS THERE A REGISTRY?
Definetly not. Your attendance is our gift! We are fully aware that attending weddings isn't cheap and because we are making you drive out into the middle of nowhere, we'll let you off the hook for this one ;)
ARE THERE SHOPS NEARBY?
No, please note that your last stop for shops is Ceres or De Doorns depending on what direction you are coming from. Don't forget to fill up here to make sure you have enough petrol!
HOW MUCH FOOD & WATER DO I NEED TO BRING?
Saturday & Sunday lunch or snacks. We will be providing you with coffee/tea, late breakfasts and earlyish dinners throughout the weekend.
WATER - aim for 3L a day per person.
WHEN CAN I ARRIVE?
We will be going up to POD on the Wednesday before. Festivities only start on Friday but you are welcome to come up earlier if you wish, there is no extra accommodation charge for this. However, you will need to feed yourself as we will only be providing food from the Friday. Please let Jaide or Oli know if you'd like to come earlier.
Friday arrival - Anytime you wish. Please avoid driving in the dark!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT THE VENUE TO BE LIKE?
Out of this world! It is a super beautiful place with many special spaces and details and even though you will be coming for our wedding, we really would love for everyone to indulge in the place and create your own amazing experience!
is there signal?
There is NO signal besides at a spot a short drive down to the entrance gate.
