RETREATS
A Place Apart. A World of its Own.
Before Buitenzorg, I founded and led a global brand experience agency for three decades, while my husband spent 30 years as a senior client-side marketer.
Between us, we understand what brings people together and makes a retreat truly exceptional.
Nestled in the Constantia Valley, alongside Groot Constantia – one of the oldest wine estates in the Southern Hemisphere – Buitenzorg offers a rare sense of seclusion in one of Cape Town’s most beautiful settings; yet is just 20 minutes from the city centre and 30 minutes from Cape Town International Airport.
We are not a conference venue. Buitenzorg is a private estate where exceptional people come together to think, talk, create, discover and recharge. An inspiring setting for executive stays, leadership gatherings and team getaways.
Here, nature sets a different pace. Eagle Owls nest in the trees, Guinea fowl wander along the paths, Porcupines make their evening rounds and tiny Dwarf Chameleons move through the wisteria. Surrounded by vineyards, mountains and magnificent gardens, it feels a world away from the demands of everyday business.
Imagine developing your next business strategy beneath the trees or in the creative space of the Coach House; taking a walking meeting through the gardens and vineyards; or continuing a conversation over lunch among the vines, before gathering around the firepit as evening falls. The pace changes. Perspectives shift. Ideas have room to breathe.
With luxurious accommodation and beautiful spaces to work and unwind, we tailor every detail – from meeting spaces and catering to curated experiences – around your objectives, balancing focused collaboration with time to pause, recharge and restore.
A remarkable natural setting. A world apart from the everyday. The perfect backdrop for smart, creative thinking.


Experiences are offered in three ways:

A beautifully prepared breakfast, vineyard walks, a Groot Constantia wine tasting and access to the
estate’s wellness facilities.

Massages, sound journeys, The Constantia Collection wine tasting, pizza evenings, storytelling around the fire, cooking workshops, and guided tours.

Guest speakers, helicopter excursions, private chefs, creative workshops, facilitated leadership sessions and bespoke Cape Peninsula tours.
