Our venue is suitable for conferences with up to 35 guests. You’ll enjoy exclusive use, with plenty of parking and Wi-Fi . We have air conditioning for the summer and heating for the winter – we even have a fire place that adds an extra touch of ambiance for the rainy, winter days in the Cape.
The décor is inspired by the plants around us, with wallpaper prints in lush botanicals and hanging plants. The crisp white interior is softened by our rustic foyer and stylish lounge area. Glass doors open onto an inviting veranda and green lawns where delegates can enjoy after work drinks.
