Bushwillow Park

Some venues are built to impress. Bushwillow Park was created to belong – to its forest, its water, and to the couples who choose it.

Just 21 km from Howick, a gentle drive through rolling dairy farms brings you to the foot of South Africa’s largest privately owned indigenous forest.

Weddings here aren’t about how much you spend, but about celebrating in a place that feels genuine. The nature does the decorating for you – you’ll find calm, joy, and the feeling that this is exactly where you’re meant to be. The air carries birdsong, and the trees stand like ancient witnesses.

You can choose between lush lawns or our shed-style for open-air ceremonies. Just steps away, a purpose-built venue rests on one of our dams for your reception. For couples who wish to linger, two cottages sit quietly at the forest’s edge. Here, mornings begin with stillness – a chance to stretch your wedding into something more than a single day.

Guests can wander between water, gardens and forest. At the heart of your gathering, discover picture-perfect beauty in every direction.

There are places you visit, and there are places that stay with you.

If you’re searching for a wedding that feels authentic, timeless, affordable, and extraordinary all at once — Bushwillow is waiting.
