Absolutely FABZ conference facility | The Planner

Set amidst striking country surrounds in the heart of Lonehill, Fourways, the Gooderson Leisure Fabz Estate Hotel & Conference Centre is the perfect getaway for those wanting to break away from the hustle and bustle of city life and head for the country without having to venture too far.

Our more laid back guests can relax on the newly developed 120-seater covered patio area alongside the lake, drink in the spectacular river frontage, wander through the scenic English gardens, enjoy bird watching and fishing or play a round of golf. The more adventurous can embark on 4 x 4 trails, go horse riding or spend a night out at Montecasino which is just 4km away.

Despite its peaceful country ambience, Fabz is close to major highways, shopping malls, amenities and entertainment venues. Although great city fare is close at hand, guests can sit back and savour the very best of local dining on site.

Overlooking a beautiful stretch of water with picturesque views, the a la carte restaurant is known for good contemporary Italian cuisine and a number of signature dishes. By combining a stylish, more formal food experience with the contemporary country cooking which hotel quests have come to expect, the restaurant produces unpretentious cuisine that is hard to forget.

When looking for conference venues in South Africa, many groups look to Johannesburg. The city has become a magnet for local and international conferences and is, in fact, the only African city to have featured in the top 20 destinations for conferencing.

The Fabz Estate Hotel has a lot to offer when it comes to both conferences and special functions. Just completed is new Illala Conference Centre which accommodates up to 300 delegates (cinema vs banqueting), while the Cellar provides for a more intimate venue. There are however a number of ideal venues on the Estate from which one can choose from, that are well ventilated, north facing, sun-filled rooms with balconies overlooking the beautiful gardens and the lake.

This ideal retreat is also the perfect venue for weddings, family events such as birthdays and anniversaries and other private functions. At Fabz we pride ourselves on co-coordinating intimate country style weddings, each one personalised to create a unique magical experience for the couple and their guests, while ensuring that no effort is spared in coordinating a day the bridal couple will always remember.
