Our delightful small-group conference centre has proved to be ideal for training, strategic planning discussions, and presentations. See the pictures below. Why pay for large expensive facilities when you can meet in intimate surroundings at more cost-effective rates? Local area network, accommodation and facilitation are available.

  • Exclusive riverside venue for corporate and friendly breakaways

  • Group catering by arrangement

  • Wireless hub for online access

  • Call Karen or Graeme Addison for personal attention

The Heron's Nest is situated on the Otters' Haunt lawn opposite Reception, and has a delightful country ambience. It has been developed for flexible use, knowing that we have groups of business people, media people and artists, and flyfishing clinics. The room can be equipped both as a small-group conference centre (networked online via wireless.) The Vaal Cybercentre runs off a satellite connection and is a modern facility with fulltime Internet and a wireless hub for up to 16 computers. We do not have computers for hire but can obtain rented equipment if ordered in advance. Both the Heron's Nest and the Vaal Cybercentre have a wonderful outlook on the nearby riverbank, and are airy venues.

Talk to us about your needs. Perhaps you wish come down just for a day or two with your executive group, to meet and brainstorm while enjoying the country atmosphere.The facility includes a shady porch, large living-room/meeting room with conference table and lounge suite, a refreshments area, and a braai lapa.

Perhaps you want to come with friends for a relaxing break, sharing the large comfortable room as an open-plan lounge or gathering place. Dinners and events can be arranged.

GROUP CATERING

There are numerous options for group breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The photo gallery below suggests the range of options. We can serve meals at tables on the lawns, hold buffet lunches or candlelight dinners down beside the river, user the Heron's Nest for set-out meals, go to our Bush Camp lapa, or eat under the stars. When booking, ascertain if your chosen venue is available and the price for day/night use. Specify the level and type of catering that you want - casual, special functions, and so on - and any religious or dietary preferences. Alcohol is bought on consignment (we do not run a cash bar but can arrange a barman).
