Dream Destination Wedding in Johannesburg’s Green Heart

16th October 2025
Destination Weddings at Thaba


Walk down the aisle and step back into nature


The world is moving away from rampant consumerism and ostentatious wastefulness. From biodegradable straws to farm-to-table eating and sustainable fashion, the idea of living lightly with this earth is undeniably a shift in the right direction.

Dream destination wedding without the long drive



This shift is becoming more and more evident in the wedding business as well and we are proud of the fact that at Thaba Eco Hotel, we have been ahead of the curve for years. We offer our brides a truly unique experience, by giving you the chance to have a fairytale wedding, surrounded by our pristine eco park, but without compromising on any of the “big city” conveniences.

Serenity, sustainability and sincerity is what we bring to your big day, not to mention sensational sunsets!



As far as easily accessible Gauteng wedding venues are concerned, Thaba Eco Hotel has a strikingly unique look and vibe. There is no place quite like it. We offer authentic Afro-chic opulence with world class banqueting, accommodation and amenities. We are renowned for our out-of-this world views of the eco park and surrounding mountains.

Cut costs, not corners


One of the biggest concerns about hosting your dream wedding is putting a price on the party. Budget will always be a consideration and our proximity to Johannesburg and Pretoria will play an integral role in minimising your overheads without maxing out your credit card.
  • Flowers, décor and ingredients don’t have to be shipped long distances.
  • You won’t be paying thousands in travel costs for vendors, and while we offer luxurious accommodations for your guests, they can even decide to drive in on the day.
  • Our All-Inclusive packages offer peace of mind and you know exactly what you are in for.


Hassle free honeymooning



Not only do we offer all the romance, intimacy and luxury your happy honeymooner heart could desire and would be honoured to host you and your spouse for the duration of this special time, but we are also perfectly situated to hop on the highway and head to the airport if you’re aiming for an island- or a beach honeymoon instead.

We offer the whole package



With our exquisite spa facilities, you can make the most of your wedding by booking in early, being pampered ahead of time and even treat your guests and wedding party to spa treatments. Stress free guests lead to drama-less wedding days!

We also love the idea of newlyweds staying on with us after the wedding and scheduling a day of relaxation for the next day. The weeks leading up to a wedding can be stressful and we have the cure for any cricks or cranks that you want to get rid of. At the onsite boutique Sinzinani Spa, you can book an indulgent couple’s massage while you further enjoy the magnificent views of our Eco Park. It offers the perfect post wedding relaxation and reconnection moment.

Our eco park will set your wedding apart.


While there are local venues that give some sort of bush experience, none of them can recreate the majesty of our close to 400 hectares eco park. This conservation area is xeriscaped and sustainably managed to foster biodiversity and the park boasts a lively ecosystem of thriving animals. This means you can treat your guests to game drives or give your wedding pictures an exquisite and one-of-a-kind nature backdrop, with grasslands, true bushveld and sweeping mountain views.

A Thaba wedding means a beautiful, seamlessly managed and perfectly planned big day.

At Thaba we are in the wish granting business and we specialise in unique, truly African experiences. Our venues, amenities and level of service excellence can’t be rivalled, and your guests will be reminiscing about your big day for years to come.

The story doesn’t end here



Apart from the natural beauty, the ease with which we will coordinate your wedding and the guaranteed joy of your big day, we have another secret weapon in our dream making arsenal…

Our bespoke packages, incorporating hotel stays, luxury meals and specialised spa treatments are the perfect way to celebrate your big days going forward. Whether it’s an anniversary, a baby-moon or simply a romantic get-away. We will be honoured to write the next chapter of your love story with you.

Thaba is more than a venue



Our philosophy is to be co-creators of your dream day. We want to give you the luxury of your dream destination wedding without the hassle of leaving the city. We are proud of our commitment to conservation and can’t wait to share the breathtaking beauty of the true bush with you.

Celebrate your wedding, celebrate nature, celebrate love.
