That’s why Ollivanders Estate has four year-end packages, each with a different way to celebrate:

✨ The Celebration – R435 pp
🥂 Ch*****ne & Canapés – R450 pp
🔥 Rustic Summer Braai & Bushveld Feast – R550 pp
🍽️ Build-A-Menu – R595 pp

All set in the Shongweni countryside, with:
🚗 Secure on-site parking
🏡 Venue hire – R3,500
🎄 Christmas crackers + basic Christmas table décor – R75 pp

Whether your team is after festive, social, relaxed or more flexible, there’s an option to suit.
