Our Story

Our story begins in 1998, when the property was purchased by the first generation of our family with nothing more than a vision, a strong work ethic, and a deep love for nature. What started as a humble nursery quickly became a place filled with heart and purpose. Every garden bed, every tree, and every pathway was lovingly shaped by hand, with dedication and soul poured into every corner of the land—never imagining that it would one day grow into a function venue. In 2009, that same passion guided the transformation from nursery to venue. From the very beginning, it was never just about hosting events—it was about creating a space where people could gather, celebrate, and make lasting memories in a warm and welcoming environment. Still family-owned and run to this day, the values that built this venue remain at our core: hard work, honesty, and heartfelt service. We treat every client as we would our own family—with genuine care, attention to detail, and a personal touch that’s felt in everything we do. When you step onto our grounds, you're not just booking a venue—you’re becoming part of a legacy built on love, laughter, and the belief that every special moment deserves a truly special place.

The Forest Walk Experience — Through Their Eyes

Elzani Van Wyk (24 October 2025)

Dear Daniela

To everyone at the Forest Walk Venue,
We couldn’t have asked for better !

Firstly, we’d like to give a very a special thanks to Daniela. If it wasn’t for you – we wouldn’t have made it through the wedding planning or the ceremony itself ❤️

The service was absolutely 5 stars ! We felt absolutely looked after. The staff were quick and friendly and extremely helpful. We appreciate and applaud the wonderful staff members who served us our food and helped with the cleanup etc !

Amo was an absolute help during the reception ! He checked in on us regularly and made sure everything went smoothly ! What a man 😊

The DJ – DJ Kabelo – was honestly the best DJ I’ve seen ! We didn’t give him much to go on but he read the crowd like a great DJ does, and everyone loved it ! 🎉🎉

The chef – we honestly believe he should consider going on Master Chef with Gordon Ramsey 🥹 exquisite food! Absolutely delicious and very 5-star quality 🤗

And if we missed anyone – we do apologise
Everyone made sure our special day went smoothly ! We couldn’t be more content or more appreciative! We have no words for how satisfied we are with the venue ! So massive thanks to everyone there ❤️

Klonus Wedding of 24 Oct 2025

“The fact that Esther was on standby when my mother that walked me down the isle started crying just before we had to enter the church and she had water and a tissue ready not thinking twice wiped my moms tears and talked her down – love the level of intimacy we received from all staff, from the chef to the dj to everyone checking up on us that we are happy the whole night”
