The Venue

This fabulous conference venue sits in the heart of the countryside. Breakout of city life and drink in the real country atmosphere with the morning backdrop of the African dawn chorus. The sounds are magnificent. So is the sight of the Protea growing naturally in and around the hotel grounds.

The Everglades hotel is 5 and half hours drive South of Johannesburg and 90 minutes drive North West of Durban. Pietermaritzberg is 40 minutes away.

After your days outing return to the Everglades for a pre-dinner drink in the Wattle & Daub Pub before a hearty meal served either plated or buffet-style depending on numbers of guests. For those bracing winter evenings we recommend a post-dinner liqueur whilst relaxing in the lounge or pub in front of the fire.

The main emphasis at Everglades is on relaxation and enjoying the tranquility of the countryside.
