The Thaba Phuti conference venue received the prestigious five star rating from the South
African Tourism Grading Council, which puts it right up there with the best in the world.
Dining
Business executives can dine in the well-designed restaurant that overlooks spectacular rock
faces. Mouthwatering dishes are served together with some of the best wine cultivars from the
cellars at the lodge.
The lounge
The warm and friendly lounge provides the ideal setting for relaxed discussions and
networking. Cocktails and light meals are served at the adjoining bar.
Sport bar
It is not all business and no pleasure! The sport bar is well equipped to cater for watching
sport events while recalling earlier discussions of the day.
Boma
A typical bushveld fire in the boma provides the perfect atmosphere for teambuilding and
in-depth discussions. Guests are treated to excellent service and delicious evening meals under
the African sky.
Accommodation
All the rooms are neatly furnished with breathtaking views from their balconies. The rooms
with their en-suite bathrooms, stocked bar fridges, ceiling fans, safes and direct lines, are
well-suited to cater for business people.
Accessibility
One of the requirements for a conference venue is that it should be easily reachable. Thaba
Phuti Safari Lodge is only 2 km of the main road, which means that you don't need a 4x4 vehicle
to reach the lodge. It is only an 80 to 90 minutes drive from the Gauteng metropolitan area.
Location
Rustenburg is in the center of the Platinum belt and several large mines can be found in
this part of the North West Province. Thaba Phuti is only about 30 km from the town centre.
Executives from mining houses and international companies find the location of the lodge to be
ideal and very central for business meetings.
Relaxation
Apart from the sparkling pool, guests at the lodge can also take strolls in the game reserve,
undertake open vehicle game drives, travel around 4x4 trails, and visit one of the many nature
reserves in the area. Visitors can try their hand at fishing, clay pigeon and silhouette
shooting, explore caves, and visit the mining museum or the Old English Blockhouse, or even
shop for curio in the Magalies meander. There are several golf courses in the vicinity for
those who don't mind mixing business with pleasure.
Although most of the corporate meeting centers in the cities offer excellent presentation
facilities, they lack the tranquil atmosphere of the lodges in the countryside. The stress-free,
but luxurious setting that the Thaba Phuti lodge offers, together with world class business
facilities, and ample opportunity to be close to nature, makes it the ideal place for small
and exclusive corporate meetings. A variety of wildife, excellent gourmet meals, colonial
comfort and serenity await the attendees of meetings at the Thaba Phuti conference venue.
