Overview & Capacity

Mpekweni is the Sunshine Coast's conference resort - a private beach and lagoon on the R72 with five function rooms led by the thatched Ben Macala hall at 300, plus a spa and watersports that give team-building an easy outdoor programme. It's proven (SAWMA held its 2025 conference here) and good value, and the beach-and-lagoon setting resets a multi-day agenda. The catch is remoteness: East London Airport is the nearest at ~110 km, Gqeberha further, so B&W flags the transfer. For a coastal conference-plus-incentive between the two cities, it's the anchor.
