MOST *MAGICAL* PLACE IN KZN
…this was “the place” we wanted to get married at. Finally this past weekend we had our wedding at Bayete Zulu (self catering but amazing lodge!) This place is amazing, the rooms are neat and tidy, all fi tted with aircons which is a must in KZN, The baths are to die for! A big bubble bath is exactly what you need after a day in the bush! The best part is, you and your family hire out the entire lodge exclusively to yourself, no strangers in sight! It is self catering, but Bayete took it up a notch, there is a huge kitchen and a boma area, with the most amazing chefs! not to mention getting to do the elephant interaction… an experience of a life time! We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world! Thank you to all the staff at Bayete, you all really did make our dreams come true!
