Year-end specials | The Planner

Finding a suitable venue for your end-of-year function can be tricky. And, as any event organiser or company secretary will confirm, it’s never too early to start looking.

MAROPENG
This year Maropeng, has multiple packages on offer for those looking to celebrate the year’s achievements in style in the Cradle of Humankind.

Various packages are available at either The Tumulus or Maropeng hotel. Both include a tour of Maropeng to add a slight difference to the experience. Maropeng head chef Peter Langa has come up with a range of menu options to suit all tastes and budgets – from funky finger snacks to an elegant sit-down meal or fantastic African outdoor braai.

There’s the Cradle of Humankind plated menu; the Harry the Hominid finger fork menu; the Little Foot plated menu; and the Mrs Ples braai menu – all of which are available as part of either of the packages indicated above.

“Why not make this year a special one for your colleagues by planning an overnight stay at the luxurious Maropeng Hotel?” says Lindsay Marshall, head of communications and marketing at Maropeng. “As part of your company function, enjoy dinner, bed and breakfast at this stunning four-star venue.”

Companies that want to engage in corporate team building, or those that require a conference facility as well as a function venue, are catered for – Maropeng’s three conference rooms can be used individually, or in combination, for small and large corporate events.

Maropeng’s dedicated and creative events team will assist in making your function a memorable experience – just tell us what you would like to achieve, and we’ll take care of the rest.

To book your corporate function at Maropeng, give us a call on 014 577 9000.
