Hlala Lapha Venue

Hlala Lapha is surrounded by trees, pools, beautiful gardens, rolling lawns and superb scenery. It has a magical air about it in the evenings and is a very popular party or family gathering venue. It incorporates a flagstone extension under the trees with a firepit, big braai/potjie and spit area under soft spots. There is a big weber, other braai equipment and braai utensils for your convenience. Hlala Lapha is fully set up for guests to cater for themselves or, we can cater for you. We offer self-catering and part, or full catering packages. Paintball is offered in our natural bush terrain, which offers an exhilarating experience.

Guests have exclusive use of Hlala Lapha from check-in 14H00 to 02H00 for normal events, however, it depends on your requirements i.e. perhaps it is an 80th birthday party luncheon that you want to include with your accommodation over the weekend or, it may be a bachelorette or bachelor party on a Saturday afternoon and evening?  Just let us know what your specific requirements are and we can get back to you with the information.  Music should be played at a reasonable level at all times, so as not to disturb other guests.  There is an under-counter bar fridge in the Lapha to put drinks in. We set up the firepit for you to use but otherwise you need to supply your own wood. The firepit is lovely to sit or stand around when the evening turns cold. We provide good quality plastic plates, beer mugs, shooter glasses, salad and snack bowls and dustbins for your convenience should you be self-catering.  Dishwash, soap and towels are provided at the Lapa basin.

Lighting is perfect with spots on the cooking area which you can turn off when not required.  Garden lighting can be turned on in the Lapha to light up the garden in the evening.

There is a 52-inch TV screen in the Lapha with all the Super Sport DSTV channels available to watch the sport of your choice. We have solar backup should there be an Eskom outage so, no interruption of sports matches. We provide ice for the initial two ice buckets on the bar but other than this, you will need to supply your own.

We will arrange the accommodation as per your unique event.  Friday one night event bookings – departure time is strictly 09H00 and Saturday one night event bookings – departure time is strictly 10H00.
