Nestled in the scenic hills of Bisley, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal, lies The Secret Garden - a family-run wedding and event venue overlooking our very own private game farm, where giraffe, zebra, and kudu roam freely.

We are a passionate husband-and-wife team with more than 40 years of combined experience in the hospitality industry. Our journey has taken us from Walt Disney World in the USA to restaurants and hotels across Europe, before returning home to South Africa to create something truly unique. Today, we pour that knowledge, creativity, and love for people into curating unforgettable weddings, functions, and celebrations.

 

At The Secret Garden, every event is about you. We believe in flexibility, attention to detail, and welcoming your ideas to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re planning a wedding, year-end function, or private celebration, our venue combines the ultimate country charm with modern convenience.

​

Imagine gathering around a crackling bonfire under the African sky, sharing stories with loved ones, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s the magic of The Secret Garden.

 

We look forward to meeting you,

Jamie & Dana
