The town is almost entirely surrounded by the Camdeboo National Park, where wildlife and dramatic landscapes, including the famous Valley of Desolation, provide a breathtaking backdrop for wedding photographs.<\/p>\n<p>The Drostdy Hotel itself dates back to the early 1800s. Originally the magistrate\u2019s residence, it has evolved into a National Monument and 5-star boutique hotel after meticulous restoration.

My ceremony was in Lovers Lane, just steps away from my room. Guests enjoyed canap\u00e9s in Stretch\u2019s Court and by the pool, playing lawn games and freshening up in their rooms whenever they liked. The reception was held under the enchanting stars of the Karoo, outside the restaurant, and we danced in the courtyard until midnight, with the bar staying open until 3 am. It was perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The peace of mind was just as important:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it had rained, we could have moved everything into the Gallery or the restaurant and lounge. The staff served butler-style, the menu was customised to our tastes, and having LX Events as our planner meant I did nothing but enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exclusive or Non-Exclusive \u2013 Your Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Drostdy offers exclusive use for weddings of 61\u2013120 guests with a minimum of 40 rooms booked, ensuring complete privacy for your celebration.
