Olivewood Wildlife Estate & Golf Club

Set in the heart of the Chintsa valley, Olivewood offers a wedding experience that blends elegance, natural beauty, and exceptional service, just 30 minutes from East London. With views over the golf course framed by coastal forest and abundant wildlife, the secure estate provides a serene, picturesque location for couples seeking a memorable and stylish celebration.

Our Rosewood reception venue accommodates up to 180 guests and can be tailored to reflect your personal wedding style.
Panoramic windows and a modern, spacious interior create the perfect setting for your reception, while guests can enjoy pre-ceremony drinks or canapés on the deck or lawns overlooking the 18-hole golf course, a scenic backdrop for unforgettable photographs.

Ceremony options include a level, manicured lawn with gardens and rolling fairway views or a covered deck with dropdown blinds, ensuring an all-weather solution.

The catering team, led by our Executive Chef, creates innovative menus tailored to your preferences. Plated menus are ideal for smaller weddings, while buffet and family-style options suit weddings of all sizes. Olivewood is fully licensed and offers a bar in the venue with a complete drinks selection.

Guests can extend the celebration with a stay at our 4-star boutique Hotel Olivewood, featuring 24 rooms surrounded by secluded gardens where nyala roam, indigenous trees, and golf course views. Hotel amenities include the exclusive Residence Club with a private lounge, swimming pool, and gym.

For leisure, guests can enjoy the SA Top 100–rated golf course, perfect for a groomsmen social round, relax at two on-site restaurants, or indulge in treatments at the spa. A scenic nature trail offers adventure for those who want to walk, jog, or mountain bike, and the estate is just a short drive from two pristine Chintsa beaches and quaint seaside village.

From start to finish, Olivewood’s events team ensures a top-tier wedding experience — the perfect place to say ‘I do’.
