Year End Functions

How We Turn Year-End Functions into Unforgettable Events

Year-end functions allow employees and colleagues to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate the year’s growth and achievements. They are a fantastic form of team building too, as such events give employees the chance to get to know each other outside the work environment in a relaxed setting. At SunWa River Lodge, year-end functions are a speciality of ours, and we take the time to listen to the needs and requirements of our guests.

An Event Spent in Paradise

We are situated right on the banks of the awe-inspiring Vaal River, so events with us overlook this dazzling natural wonder, which then adds to the tranquil, relaxed atmosphere within our venues. For an evening that feels more like a vacation getaway, our lodge is perfect.

Four Unique Venues

Our river lodge is the first of its kind situated in the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site area, which means that we have a unique appeal to guests. We have four wonderful venues from which to choose, and you can select one based on your event’s requirements in terms of aesthetics and amenities. Whether ten or 200 guests are invited, we will accommodate your party with a private bar and scrumptious buffet meals.

Get Creative with Our Themed Evenings

What are year-end functions without a little entertainment? Our themed evenings offer guests the opportunity to break the ice and engage in a fun and amusing way. Some of the exciting themes we offer include:

  • A gala dinner – Midnight in Parys
  • Memories – 1960s and 1980s themes
  • Pirates of the Vaal
  • A traditional African theme
  • James Bond (007)
  • The Great Gatsby – 1920s to 1930s themed
  • Hawaiian beach party
  • Western saloon bar

We can also create themes to suit your event and will accommodate the dietary needs of your guests.

Make It a Weekend Getaway

Year-end functions are great fun while they last, but the drive home can be exhausting. Extending your evening into a weekend corporate retreat is an even better way to end your year. We have 58 luxury rooms available which can accommodate up to 120 people. Should you book for a retreat, you will also be able to take part in various team-building activities, such as river rafting, game drives, paintball, and brain teaser games.

Make this end of year celebration one to remember with our fantastic range of services. To find out more, call us today or request a quote online. At SunWa River Lodge, adventure awaits.
