My husband and I were married at Pethers 2 weeks ago. The accommodation and setting of Pethers is absolutely stunning. The staff were also amazing throughout the entirety of the weekend and helped us so much on our special day. A big thank-you to Melissa, Alex and Bibianna for all their help, kind words and service. We will definitely be back soon.

We had a memorable wedding at Pethers - the accomodation was beautiful, the food was done so well and the venue worked really well for our wedding. Photos taken onsite came out stunning. Melissa was our host, she made us feel welcomed and helped us whenever we had requirements/changes. Dan was another manager who made sure all the venue requirements were sorted out prior to the events. Would heartily recommend Pethers for a rainforest wedding! Or any wedding really, they're just really good,
