Kickstart the New Year with a Corporate Retreat in the Bush
Close off the year or kick off a new one in style with a corporate retreat or end-year function at Summerplace Game Reserve, a hidden gem in the Waterberg, Limpopo, just three hours from Johannesburg. Whether you’re celebrating milestones or recharging your team for the year ahead, Summerplace offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and inspiration.
Why January & February Are the Smart Months to Retreat
January and February are often overlooked, yet they’re ideal for corporate functions and team-building getaways. The festive rush is over, rates are more favourable, and the bush is alive after the summer rains. It’s the perfect time to gather your team, refresh your goals, and start the new year connected and motivated.
At Summerplace, you’ll enjoy peaceful surroundings, fresh cuisine, and the space to think creatively, far away from boardroom distractions.
A Boutique Venue for Meaningful Corporate Retreats
At the heart of Summerplace Game Reserve lies our boutique conference and dining venue, the soon-to-launch Glass Barn. With panoramic views of the Waterberg mountains, it’s designed for strategic sessions, workshops, and private dining.
Surrounded by wildlife and wide-open space, your team can shift effortlessly between planning sessions and outdoor activities. Cycle through the reserve on our guided mountain-bike trails, enjoy sundowners under an acacia tree, or gather around the fire for a three-course bush dinner prepared by celebrity chef Dylan Jonsson.
