Imagine a vista of pristine African Bushveld as far as the eye can see. Imagine a luxury venue located in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Imagine a venue that is hidden from view on arrival by a low rocky ridge. Now imagine all of this combined! Imagination truly becomes reality in the shape, form and offering of the Cradle Boutique Hotel — a spectacular wedding setting that is only a stone’s throw away from Johannesburg and Pretoria. An authentic African Bushveld backdrop merges beautifully with the modern, open-plan design of the function venues, creating the impression of an outdoor setting.
We have four venues to choose from:
Our glorious Gauteng weather makes for perfect outdoor weddings, so we typically host ceremonies in The Glade next to the Motsetse Stream. Pre-reception drinks and snacks are presented to guests in your chosen venue while your photographs may be taken in any of the locations around the Hotel.
For your wedding reception, you may choose from four exceptionally unique venues, keeping in mind that your choice will largely dependent on the size of your wedding party.
The Cradle Restaurant’s is a modern architectural masterpiece in stone, steel and glass, with retractable floor-to-ceiling glass doors that offer breathtaking views of the landscape. The Pavilion is set slightly apart from the main building and boasts similar architecture as the Restaurant, as well as endless African Bushveld views. The Motsetse Cellar in the lower level of the main building. The Glade is blissfully situated next to the Motsetse stream.
