Halfway between Lydenburg and Machadodorp, lies a well-kept secret, the picturesque Badfontein Valley. Nestled in the foothills of the Steenkampsberg, is the extraordinary family owned farm, Wilsonia, an idyllic African retreat that embraces traditional country living and old-style hospitality. Here you will find the emphasis on comfort and feel-good African charm; the most arduous choice you will make during your stay, is how you choose to relax. Serenity is a way of life here, not just wishful thinking. Cherishing life and love, Zaskia Eloff-Wilson and her dedicated family team, have created a wedding venue that embodies true South African warmth and friendliness; where nothing is too much trouble and everyone has time to stop for afternoon tea and home-made rusks, or to gather around open bonfires for story telling late into the night, whilst sipping their favourite tipple. Say your "I do’s” under the old tipuana tree, weather permitting, or in the open - framed chapel overlooking the hills and plains of the valley. The Cowshed team will do everything they can to ensure your day is as beautiful and unique as your relationship. Your reception in our Old Shed, with its rustic charm, will surely be a night to remember. The décor, with a nod to yesteryear, is unusual and inspiring. With its white cement floors that beckon even the most reluctant dancer to take a turn, the hand-made wire chandeliers and the resident pair of Barn Owls who keep a beady eye on your guests long into the star-filled night, you know this will be an occasion none of your guests will forget. Vintage ambiance combined with African chic will take your breath away. Having built a formidable reputation as not only one of the most beautiful places to get married in Africa, they pride themselves as one of the best in terms of comfort, flexibility and just having a darn good time. Every wedding is memorable and planned around the specific individuality of the couple. With a can-do attitude and reassuring manner in all that they do, the Cowshed team add small touches that reflect the passion and commitment they have, to ensuring your day is not only beautiful, but stress free and runs according to plan! Welcome to Wilsonia, the Cow Shed, and our Africa
