Grootbos Private Nature Reserve says
Awesome guys, thanks for mentioning us! Here is a little more info for your readers. http://www.grootbos.com/en/functions/weddings/

Jonathan Stoner says
I would advise you to avoid WHALE VIEW MANOR. After we booked our wedding here the planner kept trying to load up the quote, and eventually we cancelled, six weeks before the date. The management then decided to keep our entire deposit of R12,000 – although all they had done was send us multiple quotes, and not arranged a thing. The management are unhelpful in the extreme.
The place looks nice but the warmth is fake.
