The Perfect Venue for Small Gatherings in Johannesburg

Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, it’s a setting where guests can relax, connect and celebrate without feeling rushed.

With packages starting from R450 per person (T&C’s Apply), hosting a stylish and memorable gathering has never been easier.
Choose Your Celebration Theme
To make every celebration feel unique, guests can select from six curated themes, each offering its own flavour, atmosphere and dining experience.
Tea-quila High Tea
A playful high tea with tequila-inspired treats.
High tea takes a spirited turn with this fun and flavourful option. Savour bites such as mini chicken wraps and jalapeño poppers alongside sweet treats like tequila-lime tartlets and churro bites. Paired with tequila-infused iced tea, this menu brings a lively twist to a classic afternoon tradition. Sometimes tea time deserves a little extra spirit, don’t you think!
Bridgerton High Tea
Elegant classics with a celebratory spritz.
Inspired by timeless afternoon gatherings, this refined menu features delicate savoury bites, mini quiches, scones and sweet treats served with a Mimosa or Aperol Spritz bar. It’s an elegant setting for conversation, laughter and perhaps a touch of Regency-style glamour. A gathering even Lady Whistledown might be tempted to report on.
Tastes of Africa
Bold local flavours and flame-grilled favourites.
A celebration of proudly South African flavours, this fests showcases hearty favourites such as flame-grilled boerewors, peri-peri chicken and traditional pap, served with vibrant salads and comforting sides. It’s a feast that feels both familiar and festive — the kind of spread that feels like home, only grander.
Casual Comfort
Relaxed crowd-pleasers for easy celebrations.
A menu designed for gathering with your nearest and dearest, featuring favourites like mini smash burgers, peri-peri chicken wraps, crispy hake fillets and flavourful sides. It’s relaxed, unpretentious and welcoming — the kind of table where guests settle in, conversation flows and everyone feels right at home.
Mediterranean Delights
Sun-kissed Mediterranean flavours inspired by Greek classics.
Inspired by the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean, and in the spirit of al fresco dining, this menu celebrates dishes such as lemon-garlic lamb chops, oregano chicken skewers, spanakopita and golden roasted potatoes, served alongside fresh salads and sweet loukoumades. It’s the kind of table that feels like a long lunch on a Greek island — relaxed, generous and best enjoyed slowly.
Portuguese Festival
Bold Portuguese flavours with seafood, grilled favourites and traditional sweets.
A lively celebration of Portuguese cuisine, this festive spread features favourites such as prawns with chorizo, lemon-herb hake, prego chicken fillets and sirloin steak, accompanied by flavourful sides and finished with classic pastéis de nata and creamy leite de crème. It’s a festive spread full of warmth and flavour — the kind of table where plates Celebrate at Thaba
