The Vineyard Hotel hosts conferences, training sessions, board meetings, banquets and celebrations for groups of a handful to 150 people. It has ten meeting venues: two large rooms for up to 150 guests each, three medium rooms for up to 70 and five small rooms for up to 12. The independent hotel stands in eight acres of gardens in Newlands, a southern suburb of Cape Town on the forested eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
Seminars and company events
The venues are grouped by size, which makes it simple to plan a plenary room with breakout rooms in the same building. Large venues offer natural light and can be packaged with overnight rooms for delegates. The hotel publishes a meeting planner guide and takes conference enquiries directly. Product expos and banquets fit in Summerhouse, while the boardroom and small rooms suit executive meetings and interviews.
Rooms and capacities
Summerhouse, on the ground floor, covers 225 m² and takes up to 150 guests. Its open plan has no pillars, it can be divided, and it opens onto an outdoor lawn, which suits expos, banquets and breaks outside. Camphor, on the first floor, also covers 225 m² for up to 150 guests and can be divided for smaller sessions. It looks out over the gardens and Table Mountain, and takes its name from a camphor tree in that view. Terraces 1 to 3 are three rooms of 78 to 120 m² for up to 70 guests, with an outdoor deck. Boardroom 1 covers 87 m² under a high ceiling for up to 35 delegates. Five small rooms of 25 to 42 m² take up to 12 people each.
Accommodation
Delegates stay on site in two types of rooms: Main Hotel Rooms in the main building and Garden Rooms facing the grounds. Large meetings are often booked together with overnight rooms, which keeps a two-day program in one place.
Catering
The hotel has four places to eat. Morii serves Eastern Mediterranean flavors, The Square cooks seasonal dishes, the Garden Lounge and Patio serves relaxed meals, and Long Café offers coffee and light bites. Conference breaks and meals are provided by the hotel.
History and setting
The Vineyard is independently owned. Its eight acres of gardens run along the slopes of Table Mountain in Newlands, a green residential area of Cape Town known for its sports grounds and forest walks. The mountain views from Camphor and the lawns around Summerhouse give delegates outdoor space between sessions.
Getting there
The address is Colinton Road, Newlands, 7700, Cape Town. The hotel lies in the southern suburbs, between the city center and the residential areas toward Constantia. Ask the hotel about transfers for groups arriving at Cape Town International Airport.
