Where exclusivity and meaningful connections meet

Tucked away in the rolling hills and orchards of the Elgin Valley, Cherry Glamping offers a rare kind of getaway – one that blends nature, comfort and meaningful connection.

Situated just over an hour from Cape Town, this exclusive-use glamping site is a hidden gem designed specifically for groups looking to reconnect, celebrate, or simply unwind together in one of South Africa’s most beautiful landscapes.

Surrounded by fynbos, forests and fresh mountain air, Cherry Glamping captures the essence of outdoor living without giving up the luxuries of a restful escape. Each of the spacious, canvas safari tents is fully furnished with real beds, warm lighting and thoughtful touches. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of rustling leaves and wake to soft sunlight and birdsong – all while enjoying the comforts of a boutique stay.

But what truly sets Cherry Glamping apart is its focus on exclusivity for groups. Whether it’s a wedding, a retreat, a company gathering or a milestone celebration with friends, the entire site is booked out for your group alone. That means privacy, freedom and the chance to create an experience that feels personal and unhurried. It’s not a campsite – it’s a fully equipped venue designed for connection.

Group stays have access to shared but stylishly appointed kitchen and dining areas, fire pits, hot showers and outdoor lounges with sweeping views of the valley. With no other guests around, your group can take over the space completely, sharing stories around the fire, hosting long-table dinners under the stars or setting up a yoga class on a forest deck.

Weddings have found a natural home here. With a backdrop of green hills, orchards and soft Elgin mist, it’s the kind of place where you can exchange vows in nature without sacrificing style. Couples love the laid-back elegance and guests love the chance to spend the entire weekend together on one magical property.

Beyond the accommodation, the surrounding Elgin Valley invites exploration. From wine tasting and hiking to mountain biking and swimming in farm dams, there’s something for everyone. The region is also known for its apples, pears and cool-climate wines, making local produce and farm-to-table meals a natural part of the experience.

Yet perhaps the most meaningful part of Cherry Glamping is its atmosphere. It’s a place where people come together not around screens or schedules but around campfires and conversations. It’s where you find time to slow down, laugh with old friends and make new memories under open skies.

In a fast-paced world, Cherry Glamping offers a rare invitation: gather your people, leave the noise behind and enjoy a wedding celebration of simplicity, beauty and connection.

Available only for private group bookings, it’s not just a place to stay; it’s a place to come together.
