Your Top Team Deserves More Than a Boardroom!
Your Top Team Deserves More Than a Boardroom!
Tucked away in the Waterberg, just over two hours from Pretoria, Summerplace Game Reserve offers a boutique corporate retreat for those who value time, space, and meaningful connection. Here, business meets wilderness, and strategy sessions end with sundowners under the Waterberg sky.
Family-owned and run, Summerplace Game Reserve was born from a love for the bush and a desire to create something personal. Over the years, we’ve grown into one of South Africa’s most sought-after destinations for executive getaways, a place where nature sets the pace and every detail is thoughtfully considered.
We specialise in premium midweek retreats for close corporate groups. Our ideal number? Between 10 and 22 guests, enough for dynamic energy, but intimate enough that every person feels part of something special. With a mix of luxurious private lodges, the setup is perfect for both single occupancy and sharing.

“We needed a place where our staff could relax and be spoiled by us as a company. We wanted comfortable, upmarket accommodation, good food, and a place where we could relax and play a few games. Summerplace offered all the above and more.” — Wilna van Heerden, DNA Outsourcing (Pty) Ltd
“More and more companies are choosing Summerplace for their business breakaways. We’re remote enough to be removed from distractions, but close enough that travel from Pretoria or Johannesburg isn’t a challenge. Each group is different, and we build the experience around what matters to them.” — Simone Baber, Managing Director, Summerplace Game Reserve
When the workday ends, the wild begins. Guests can hop on a trail, stretch their legs on a guided walk, or soak in golden hour from the back of a game viewer. This isn’t just time away, it’s time well spent.
