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.
