Joie de Vivre Country House and Conference Venue

Situated in the heart of the plush Boland Winelands, only 40 minutes from the Cape Town Waterfront, Joie de Vivre is a graded 3-star Country House, which offers both the individual and corporate guest a unique stay in beautiful surroundings. Its core values have remained unchanged since it was opened 10 years ago. A commitment to Flexibility, where the customer can change his mind and schedule, individual attention to detail and, for the conference delegate, an understanding the needs of the corporate culture, explain why this venue is one of the most sought after sites in the Cape with a winter occupancy of over 80%.

Comfortable accommodation in individually decorated rooms, with top quality white monogrammed linen on comfortable beds ensure a good night's sleep, while the en-suite bathrooms offer a comprehensive range of toiletries. Joie de Vivre has 17 rooms as well as a 2-bedroomed self catering cottage. Our in house team building activities have been designed to ensure full participation by all participants irrespective of physical condition, gender or age. No participant will be embarrassed or mocked and everybody will be made welcome.The range of team building consists of mental and physical activities which take place outdoors and indoors.

Some examples are: Funny soccer where the rules change every 2 minutes, designed to facilitate lateral thinking in difficult business conditions; Tyre Team Teaser - an outdoor game designed to test the capacity of a group to solve a problem by co-operating, Tug of War & Volleyball. In addition, we offer a 1-hour blindfolded walk through the vineyards designed to build trust between participants. A full range of activities is also available on request.
