Last week we had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Gelukkie, a-la-retreat! A peaceful little haven on a farm just before entering Paternoster. However, the place made me want to throw a rip-roaring party! Gelukkie’s recent launch of “Joy”, their wedding venue, is super special with its rustic yet chic charm. An intimate setting in a magical garden-courtyard.

There are some special touches in the accommodation – like Ruth’s handmade, recycled chandeliers . . .

And a chill out room to escape with a good book.

There is a pizza over and large fire pits to enjoy all sorts of fire foods for events. Pizza, paella and more . . The venue also allows for indoor or outdoor entertaining. If it’s just a weekend away you’re looking for, then the peaceful courtyard and its day bed are calling you. The beach is two minutes away too – will loads of fantastic, fun and fancy restaurants around.

Owners Ruth & Andrew are so warm and accommodating while Cindy, events co-ordinator running the show, is an absolute darling who will take care of your needs. A caring team indeed.

Oh I hope I get to throw a party there someday!
