The SA Weddings team recently explored the seaside beauty of Arniston and found one of our favourite new wedding venues!
Situated a short drive outside the quaint and quintessential seaside town of Arniston, lies this family run farm of Inhoek. Far removed from the usual hustle bustle, this recently-renovated property offers all the peace and space necessary for the ultimate way to unwind- feet up and farm stye. With a reservoir, walks, fynbos all around as well as a few quirky farm animals to keep you entertained- this is the perfect place for your next escape. Offering secluded but modern accommodation with luxury touches and all the creature comforts you'll wish home had!
The farm house comfortably accommodates up to 10 people with 3 on-suite bedrooms inside as well as a large children’s room outside with 6 single beds.
The large open plan kitchen and dining room opens up onto the swimming pool and lawn. There are two braai areas and a pizza oven on the wrap around stoep, with views from all sides. Undoubtedly our favourite feature of this home from home!
For those hot summer days, where you'll want to be in the pool, sundowner in hand toasting to another setting sun- take your pick from a pool or the reservoir nearby- if you're feeling up to a little adventure.
If the whole point of some time-out is to temporarily escape the family, there are also two cottages on-site that can be rented out in conjunction with the farm house or entirely separately. These newly built cottages offer comfortable accommodation with ample living, cooking, “braai-ing” and relaxing space. Whether its stories and wine around the fire pit or even a shower under the stars- these cottages cater for the ultimate R & R experience. All the essentials are here- just bring your food, wine, a good book and don't forget your walking shoes.
Each cottage offers:
2 bedrooms on-suite. One bathroom also has an outside shower for an added element of romance, speaking of which, when winter comes- there's also a small feature fireplace that's ready to keep things toasty with all the wood provided for you on arrival.
The once farm shed, now dream function space has been created to host the most beautiful weddings. Statement pieces, like their huge wooden mirror and ornate chandeliers, combine together to make this a truly WOW space. If you're looking for the perfect venue to say your 'I dos' -you need not look anywhere else! Designed around honouring the perfect backdrop it's set amidst, Inhoek caters for formal functions and houses up to 150 people comfortably inside. Space is definitely not a problem here though, and for larger parties marques tents can also be erected. The facility offers a professional catering kitchen to assist in all your catering needs and in keeping with their local theme, they've also partnered with local preferred service providers to satisfy any catering. photographic, stylist or wine requirements. Speaking of wine- one of our favourite and stand-out features was the wine bar room, right next-door to the chapel and venue space. A converted old trough, cement-filled and uniquely modern for its surrounds; is the perfect addition for a little extra fun and another potential pre-wedding space. Or even a more intimate option for smaller wedding!
Large open spaces, with views for as far as the eye can see, together with seasonal sprouting aloes and a glorious setting sun- completes the expansive and unsurpassable view from this grand farmhouse verandah. And the good news is -you can call it your own for weekend or wedding! Inquire here www.inhoeck.co.za
