Last updated: Thursday, 20 June 2024

Bertha Retreat is the vibrantly modern company retreat that will re-energise – it’s a beautiful stay with fynbos gardens, cobblestone pathways, hiking trails, catered meals, and cosy cottages that look over the surrounding mountains. Good news, you pay what is within your means. Plus there’s a free night’s stay special if you book in June for stays until December 2024.

COMPANY RETREAT IN THE WINELANDS

Bertha Spaces, a program of activism powerhouse Bertha Foundation, is part of a network of spaces designed to foster collaboration and creativity between activists. 

You feel this the moment you visit the retreat, which is on Boschendal wine farm. On the reception wall is a colourful mural that represents the names of those who co-created the foundation. The gardens showcase rich fynbos plants and there’s a veggie garden that feeds guests.

The food and community garden aligns with Bertha Foundation’s social justice mission. Image: Bertha Retreat

CONFERENCE SPACES FOR BIG OR SMALL TEAMS

The two conference rooms come equipped with a projector, microphone and speaker, and the wifi stays on during load shedding. The rooms can accommodate up to 80 people, depending on the set-up. 

Smaller teams can split up into breakaway rooms, ideal for discussions and brainstorming sessions. Larger teams can arrange for the room to be theatre-style, which is great for presentations or screenings. 

If you’d like to get some work done independently, dedicated co-working spaces and each hot desk is equipped with a monitor and keypad.
