Riverside Sun
Overview & Capacity
Riverside Sun sits on the Vaal River in Vanderbijlpark - a 40-minute run from southern Joburg and a totally different vibe from urban corporate. 12 flexible meeting rooms, 500-cap largest hall, 169 rooms for multi-day, and the Vaal as backdrop. B&W recommends Riverside Sun for weekend retreats, incentive events, and any corporate brief that benefits from delegates being genuinely off the city grid.
