Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort hosts conferences, team building retreats and weddings for up to 120 guests, in two conference venues that open into one room and on a lawn facing the mountains. The resort sits on the Piekenierskloof Pass on the N7, near Citrusdal in the Western Cape, and has 22 hotel rooms and 16 chalets within a few minutes' walk of the venues.
Seminars and company events
The two conference venues each seat 60 delegates in schoolroom, banquet or cinema layout. With the dividing wall open they become one room for 120. Separately, each takes 26 in a boardroom setup or 40 in a U-shape, which allows a plenary followed by two working groups. The resort lists a wireless HD projector and screen, surround sound and microphones, a podium, flipcharts, Wi-Fi and air conditioning, along with registration on arrival, tea and coffee breaks and a lunch served as a small buffet or à la carte. Venues are wheelchair accessible, parking is covered, and a shuttle service is available. For team building, the resort arranges supervised archery, air golf, mini golf, a games room, and walking trails that start from the lawns, as well as quiz nights, karaoke and bar tastings booked in advance. Half-day, full-day and residential conference packages are offered.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies take place on the lawns under a wooden gazebo, with the Cederberg mountains behind and the Olifants Valley below, for up to 120 guests. Receptions usually move to the indoor events center, which takes 60 to 120 guests. The resort provides its own catering, bar, setup and serving staff. Packages cover venue hire from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends or midweek, with a welcome drink and canapés and a three-course set menu. The kitchen and bar close at 10 p.m., with extra staff until 11:30 p.m. by arrangement. A honeymoon suite is reserved for the couple.
