Stay
By Inimitable
Architectural curves that mirror the topography of this World Heritage Site.
White curved walls, open veld, and the golden hour
The second venue of the Inimitable Group, STAY offers a completely different look and style. White walls that perfectly reflect the landscape, circular pools, architecturally designed spaces, landscaped gardens and open grasslands; a venue that brings a sense of calm, peace and love to all who visit.
STAY curves gently, not only on its footprint, but in its mood and feel. Showcasing the core elements of stillness (water, earth and wood), we ask only that while you visit, you stay present and take the opportunity to truly live in the moment.

The Estate
Designed as a fingerprint
The Ceremony
Pale stone paths curve through manicured lawns and olive tree groves; our ceremony space commands a quiet drama with its breathtaking backdrop.
The space comes with clear Ghost Chairs, a podium, a registry table and a DJ table, as included in the venue hire.
The Canapé Area
This indoor-outdoor lounge is an exceptional setting for canapés and sunset drinks, designed to encourage human connection and the perfect moment to gather with your loved ones after the ceremony.
The space comes with four lounge pockets and six conversational cocktail tables and chairs, as included in the venue hire.
The Reception Hall
Conceptualised in 2021 by owners John and Zavion in close collaboration with Cobus Hugo, the Inimitable Group's MD and lead architect, this reception space was designed as a sophisticated light canvas: an elegant backdrop for exceptional décor, sculptural lighting and breathtaking floral installations. Above all, it is a space created with celebration at its very heart.
The space comes with clear Ghost Chairs, our STAY banquet tables, a podium, a gift table and a DJ table, as included in the venue hire.
The Suites
Twenty-six rooms, placed perfectly amongst designed privacy mounds naturalised with an indigenous bio-grass mix, let your loved ones wake where you celebrated your vows. Nestled in the Zwartkop Valley, with some of the most panoramic sunsets in the area from the landscaped peaks, your stay with us is bound to be memorable.
The Estate
Expansive lawns, architecturally designed and landscaped gardens, and over two thousand olive trees unfold across the estate: a marvel from the sky, framed by the timeless beauty of the Zwartkop Valley beyond.

The Film
Experience the estate
Seen from above, the estate reveals itself whole: the mandala-inspired footprint drawn into the land, the circular pools and sunken gardens, the pool villas tracing the open veld to the Zwartkop Valley beyond.
Water, earth and wood, held in a single curved gesture. This is what your guests arrive to.

One continuous day
From first light to last dance
A single wedding at STAY, from the first still morning to the final song. One estate, one day, told in full.
First light
The estate wakes, still and calm, the day not yet begun.
Morning
In a room full of light, the last quiet hour before everything begins.
The vows
Surrounded by our rooftop gardens, under one white roof and a breathtaking view, two become one.
Just married
Out into the sun, through a fall of petals, hand in hand.
Golden hour
The light turns to gold across the stone, and the whole estate glows.
The long table
A string of light, a room full of candle-glow, and everyone you love.
After dark
And when the sun is long gone, the celebration stays.

Stillness & Sustainability
A venue built to do good for the planet, not harm
STAY was architecturally created to mimic a fingerprint, a nod to the group’s philosophy of sustainability as well as the topography of the area. The venue runs entirely on solar power, harvests its own rainwater, and stands among over two thousand newly planted trees.
Accommodation
Stay, by the true definition of the word
Eleven STAY Suites, ten Luxury Pool Villas, and the Dusk, the Dawn and Grand Lunar Suite collectively accommodate fifty-two guests. Every suite is designed for a luxurious stay, so the celebration need never end at the last dance.
