Overview & Capacity

The safe large-format play for Polokwane. The Ranch (now Protea by Marriott Ranch Resort) sits 25 km south on the N1 with a genuine bush-resort feel, game on the property and 13 event rooms topping out around 1300 theatre - so a 500-800 pax plenary is well within reach. It reads a little dated in parts of the guest reviews, but B&W can dress the Safari/Bushwillow spaces up nicely and the Marriott back-of-house gives you a dependable floor. Best when the brief wants delegates to feel they've left the city.
