Horseshoe Inn & Conference Centre
Overview & Capacity
A Kimberley institution that has hosted more functions than anywhere else in town - the venue itself claims over 18,300 - and sits just minutes from the airport. It is the budget play: halls, a lapa for a proper Northern Cape braai, 63 cheap rooms and quick turnaround service. But go in with eyes open. TripAdvisor scores the accommodation 2.5, and the complaints are not subtle. Use it for staff parties, training days and crew logistics; put your VIPs at the Kimberley Anne. The venue quotes 2026 function catering direct from R130 per person for breakfast up to R310 for a three-course plated menu, with braai, spitbraai and potjiekos concepts in between — and it throws in the linen, chair covers, underplates and red carpet at no extra cost.
