Welcome

Your wedding on the banks of the Orange River.

WEDDING & CONFERENCE VENUE

Imagine a riverside wedding where you can exchange vows at Oranjerus River Resort, a unique oasis nestled on Kanoneiland, the largest inhabited inland island in the mighty Orange River.

This stunning destination offers a dramatic contrast for your wedding backdrop: the lush, green abundance of riverside vineyards against the rugged, arid beauty of the surrounding Green Kalahari Desert.

Imagine a sunset ceremony on the Sundowner Deck, while watching the sky transform over the tranquil water, followed by a reception in our elegant hall or tented venue. The picturesque views and serene atmosphere provide a truly unique, nature-inspired setting for your celebration. We combine this breathtaking landscape with excellent amenities and dedicated service to ensure your destination wedding is an unforgettable experience.

We offer a variety of self-catering accommodations for your wedding, including VIP campsites with their own private bathroom and a comfortable campsite with shared ablution facilities for guests who wish to camp. Additionally, we can provide weekend catering so you can spend quality time with your guests.
