Portland Manor Wedding Venue

Welcome to Portland Manor, where history meets natural beauty, and your dream wedding becomes a reality. The estate is situated within the heart of the picturesque Rheenendal region, just a 25-minute drive from central Knysna.

Portland Manor is not just a wedding venue; it's an experience in itself. This working farm spans a vast 212 hectares of undisturbed wilderness, surrounded by indigenous forests and teeming with rich birdlife. As you step onto the estate, you're transported to a world where nature reigns supreme, and love finds its perfect backdrop.

Our newly refurbished Manor House, originally build in 1869, is a testament to timeless elegance. It offers comfortable accommodation in three room types: Standard, Deluxe, and Family. Every room boasts a modern Victorian aesthetic, with select rooms fitted with cozy wood-burning fireplaces and doors that lead out to the garden. Rooms on the upper level offer the added charm of welcoming balconies.

Treat your taste buds at the rustic, country restaurant known as the Cowshed Eatery. Open daily for breakfast and lunch from 8 am to 4 pm, this delightful eatery is where Chef Desmond Morgan works his magic. Your wedding guests will be treated to menus crafted from the freshest local ingredients, all cooked to perfection in wood-fired outdoor ovens.

For a touch of nostalgia and a cozy atmosphere, The Last Stance at Portland Arms awaits you. This quaint stone pub, once a sheep shearing shed, has retained its special character throughout the years. It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy views across the landscaped gardens, Lawnwood Dam, and the majestic Outeniqua Mountains.

Portland Manor offers more than just a stunning wedding venue. Outdoor sports enthusiasts will revel in the trails for hiking, running, and mountain biking. The expansive dam provides a tranquil setting for fishing or simply taking in the serene surroundings. It's a place where you can escape the bustle of city life, kick back, relax, and breathe in the fresh country air.
