It's not safe.

<div>On the 5th of November 2022, I attended my younger brother's wedding at the Au d’Hex Estate wedding venue just outside Wellington, as I was part of the wedding party, we stayed in the manor house on the estate right next to the venue the evening after the wedding we all went back to the manor house for a last few drinks before heading to bed. In the early morning hours 3 men wearing hoodies and masks gained access to the estate by lifting the electric fencing with sticks and stones yes, I know very secure. They then made their way to the manor house but first, they helped themself to some of the leftover drinks (that’s how much time they knew they had and how comfortable they were). The 3 men entered the manor house splitting up where one went to my room where I was sleeping the other to the sitting area and the last to the girl's room across the hall from me. The one in my room helped himself to a few of my belongings, a camera and a lens of mine were among those, the replacement value of everything that he took from my room is just under R40 000. The one in the sitting room got away with the bride's wedding earrings and car keys. The other guy managed to wake the two girls in the room where they screamed and they made their way out and off the property. While all this happened, no one showed up, no security, no armed response company, or anyone from the estate. The Sunday morning, we had the Wellington police there and detectives to try and solve the crime. I was assured by the manager *******&nbsp; that their insurance will cover the expenses and not to worry. It is now almost 7 months later and still, nothing came from it, just yesterday ******* t from the company Strive Capital sent me an email saying that they won’t pay out anything. The reason is that there was no forced entry now please tell me how is lifting electric fencing not forcing entry. So currently they are hiding behind their insurance companies' excuses while I’m still without my camera equipment and not able to do my work properly for the last 7 months, losing income with every day that passes. It is clear as daylight that the people involved don’t care about their clients or the safety of their clients, ask yourself a simple question, as a bride after spending all the money that you saved up for your perfect wedding day just to wake up with stranger in your room on your magical first night as a married couple, we were lucky that the two girls woke up it could have been a lot worse. If you go read the other reviews, it really starts to look like an “inside job” so before you choose this venue make sure you know what you are in for. Every time I think back to my brother's wedding this is the memory that I’m stuck with.</div>
