Cranford Country Lodge

Cranford specialise in country-chic weddings. Our venue, which is idyllically situated among the meandering hills of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, is the perfect setting to celebrate your wedding day. Our enchanting landscapes, giant oak trees and grazing appaloosas provide the backdrop for you to create lasting experiences and cherished memories.

Our beautiful stone and thatched chapel looks out onto the picturesque midlands countryside. We also have wonderful outdoor ceremony options available to our brides and grooms.

We have a charming lapa-area on one of our dams which is great for your pre-reception drinks.

Cranford offers their brides and grooms a choice between two very different, yet equally unique reception venues. “The Barn” with its rustic open rafters, stone arches and fireplaces, has a wonderful country feel and is a fantastic space for a wedding reception. “The Great Room”, which was completed in April 2015, is equally as special. Its white roof and walls offer a ‘blank canvas’ on which you can create your dream wedding reception. The subtle, yet charming details make it a stylishly innovative and contemporary space. Your reception should be one to enjoy and both our venues have been tastefully decorated to suit a variety of tastes. We also ensure that our waitrons are carefully trained to provide you and your guests with the best possible service.
