Rockhaven Farm Country House - Bewertungen

Were there for a wedding. Beautiful setting

Best place to be for leisure relaxation

We got married at Rockhaven in April 2025. Liz, Caro and the Rockhaven team were so friendly and accommodating. We appreciated their helpful advice and guidance on logistics, suppliers and numerous other queries that came up during the planning process. Overall, we had the most wonderful day and would highly recommend the venue.

Absolutely could not have dreamt of a better venue for our wedding! Everything was incredible, the boathouse, willows on the water, barn, the magical courtyard, gorgeous views in every direction… absolute dream. The team was beyond helpful, amazing staff, great accommodation.

We absolutely loved our wedding here - Rockhaven team are amazing, including Creation Events the coordination team. The accommodation and venue are beautiful.

I was here on a function with work as a chef obviously was the food fanominal it was prepared by John Joseph staff the place itself is very beautiful and the staff is friendly just one issue I had was with the waiters who was a little inexperienced to serve tables the chefs had to help serve aswell but further on I would give the venue a five star rate on presentation and were it is located for weddings if you want to get married or have a formal function this venue is definitely a go to

We held our wedding at this beautiful venue and couldn't recommend it more! The venue was not only beautiful and in pristine condition- the service we received was amazing! Everything felt so seamless and easy. Love love love!

GREAT WEDDING VENUE

What a lovely destination for a girls weekend away. A 3-bedroomed, newly built cottage with a well equipped kitchen, hot wood fire and beautiful views onto the orchards. Michael gave us some insider tips on where to eat and explore and makes a delicious olive oil! Looking forward to returning in the Spring.

Absolutely stunning venue! The farm's plentiful and lush flowers, trees and plants - and lovely dam - complements the beautiful Elgin valley perfectly. Theresa is such a helpful venue coordinator - her advice is invaluable and nothing was ever too much. Liz and the farm staff were amazing too - wish we could get married there again!

A world class wedding venue! Liz, Mike & the staff at Rockhaven were phenomenal in making our wedding day one to remember. They went above & beyond to make sure everything was seamless. Our guests absolutely loved the farm and the amenities were fantastic! From the brand new bridal suite to the on site catering facilities to the honeymoon suite - everything is beautiful! Would highly recommend booking your wedding at this best kept secret.

We had the most magical wedding. Rockhaven recommend professional vendors to help with your special day. I would suggest using the vendors Rockhaven recommends as they have all worked together before and all work well together. The owner, Liz and the wedding coordinator of the venue, Theresa were so happy to help and nothing seemed too much to ask. They have also built the most beautiful bridal suit right next the reception area. This is really helpful if the bride needs to change shoes or go for touch ups.

Absolutely gorgeous farm and Gorgeous wedding venue 😍 ❤ 👌

Rockhaven is no doubt a gorgeous venue, however our experience there with the owners at a friend’s wedding recently was just horrendous. The major issue was the owners’ total inflexibility and unhelpful, patronising manner. There were a range of really upsetting situations which I will not delve into, below are just two examples: 1. The bride had different people staying in one of the rooms at Frog Cottage on Thursday and Friday (I was one of these people). She clearly explained this in advance and asked for a turnover to be done in that room on the Friday as the cleaner was coming in, she was happy to pay extra if necessary and offered to do so. When Friday arrived, the owner made such a fuss about it, claiming she had never heard of it. Ultimately, we ended up changing the sheets ourselves! On top of that, she then charged the bride R200 for bedsheet change! 2. The bride signed a contract allowing us to stay at the venue until 2am. Originally, we were to leave earlier due to COVID restrictions, but as there was not a curfew at the time of the wedding this was no longer a consideration. At around midnight the the DJ asked how long he should play for. Given that there were still many people on the dance floor, the bride suggested that he play until the closing time (01:55). At around 00:30 one of the other owners proceeded to come and SCREAM and SHOUT publicly at the bride that we need to leave by 1 am. When she explained why we were able to be there and referred to the contract in a calm manner, he screamed at her to show him the contract. She pointed out that it was his venue’s contract and after continuing to fight with her publicly and stating that he was a farmer so he didn't know about contracts, he stormed off with no conclusion. He then made no effort to come back and explain anything, which left the bride upset and confused and forced us to finish the wedding an hour early, as well as ended the evening on a sour note. I would highly recommend they get someone else to run the venue if they are unable to provide basic kindness to people and treat their clients better. The behaviour by the owners and additional stress put on my friend and everyone organising throughout the weekend was completely unacceptable, for anyone nevertheless a wedding party.

Great place for weddings

Unsafe area, unfriendly owners.

Awesome setting

Awesome venue, food and service! Highly recommended for Functions.

Amazing wedding venue, beautiful setting with great views.

A beautiful venue with terrible owners. Everything was such a mission for the owner and she made sure to notify you thereof. She has no respect for her guests.

Greatest place to get married.

Absolutely amazing wish we were staying longer and the cottage appointment is fantastic feel right at home
