OUR STORY
Our Story
At Bontevlei, our story is one of passion, dedication, and a deep love for creating unforgettable moments. Our journey began with a vision to provide a venue that marries rustic charm and elegant romance in the heart of Stellenbosch's picturesque wine country.
Founded by Elana Louw and her wonderful team almost 20 years ago, Bontevlei was born out of a shared dream to offer a haven where love and celebrations could flourish against the backdrop of nature's grandeur. Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking mountain views and the tranquil dam on the property, we embarked on a mission to craft a space that would inspire dreams and kindle memories.
With a commitment to excellence and a belief that every detail matters, we've poured our hearts into curating an experience that exceeds expectations. From the lush garden setting to the carefully designed decor, from gourmet catering to warm hospitality, Bontevlei has become a canvas where countless love stories and cherished memories have unfolded.
Our journey at Bontevlei is inspired by the remarkable land on which we stand. Bontevlei Farm, nestled along the scenic Annandale Road, holds a rich history that weaves seamlessly into the fabric of our story. The landscape, defined by rolling hills and distant views of the Stellenbosch mountains, has witnessed centuries of agricultural traditions and freehold land grants. Annandale Road, which cuts through our landscape, serves as a testament to the area's historical significance.
We take pride in our journey so far, as we've worked to preserve the scenic and contextual significance of this unique agricultural environment. Our commitment to excellence extends to ensuring that every event we host, whether a wedding, a corporate gathering, or a special celebration, becomes a part of this storied landscape.
As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to making Bontevlei your destination for moments that will live in your hearts forever. Thank you for considering us as your partner in creating beautiful memories on this historic land. Welcome to Bontevlei, where your dreams become our reality amidst the timeless beauty of Stellenbosch.
