Weddings & Events
Situated in the Western Cape, Faraway Estate is a wedding and events venue that intertwines glamour and romance with an opulent and comfortable manor in the glorious countryside.
This is the place where weddings come alive with the northern views of towering mountain and vast landscapes of the valley to the south.
It is reminiscent of lavish parties in the English countryside. From foyer, staircase and large chandeliers to the ceiling-high French doors that take you outside.
Marque weddings are set up on the valley-facing greens, while smaller functions can be accommodated indoors. Guests can be given access to the entire ground floor.
And with the manor being as impressive as the scenery, wedding photos can go from dreamy to dramatic in a single shoot.
