Boschendal
Overview & Capacity
Boschendal is the Franschhoek Valley's big-format farm: the Olive Press seats 200 indoors, The Retreat adds a conference room and its own cinema, and the Rhone lawns swallow a 500-pax marquee or 1,000 standing under the Drakenstein mountains. The estate's own catering arm handles food at a farm-to-table standard most hotels cannot match, and the cottages sleep the VIP layer on-site. Large formats are marquee builds, so weather planning and production budget travel together here. When the brief says 'unforgettable and outdoors', this is our first call.
