South Africa
Why it ranks so highly
A strong option when the wedding is intended to feel like taking over a country estate, particularly if the celebration runs across more than one day. The strongest use of a place like this is usually a celebration that extends before or after the ceremony. Landscape and approach are part of the wedding, not decoration applied afterwards.
Best for weekend weddings, larger groups, estate atmosphere.
When to look elsewhere
Most of your guests need effortless public-transport access, or your priority is a compact city-centre celebration.
