Destination Unknown
Going nowhere slowly: a private, secluded riverbank with a sandy beach for parties, fishing, rowing and off-grid camping.
Next stop: Destination Unknown →Rows of poplars, open sky and the hills of the Vredefort Dome
Poplars Estate lies just outside Parys on the R500, in the countryside of the Vredefort Dome. Tall poplar trees line the gardens, the mountains rise behind the venue, and the river runs along the edge of the farm.
Whether you're planning your wedding day, meeting friends for a meal, or celebrating something special by the water, you'll find a place for it here.
On the R500, just outside Parys
About 120 km from Johannesburg, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes. The wedding venue and Destination Unknown are on the estate; the Longhorn Saloon is directly across the road.
