Kuhle Lodge
Celebrate. Gather. Stay.
A thatched function hall, sweeping lawns, a rock swimming pool and ensuite rooms — all on one secure property, half an hour from Pretoria.
A wedding venue, conference centre and festival grounds in Donkerhoek
Kuhle Lodge is a walled country property on Bronkhorstspruit Road, where mature palms, lawn and a rock swimming pool give the place the feel of a bushveld lodge rather than a function hall on a main road. Whatever you are planning — a wedding, a conference, a festival or a night away — it happens on one property, behind one gate.
One venue, four kinds of occasion
From an intimate garden ceremony to a full-scale festival with a stage and bar, the grounds flex to the event.
Weddings
Ceremony on the lawn, reception under thatch, and rooms for the bridal party a short walk away.

Conferences
A quiet, self-contained venue for day conferences, training sessions, launches and year-end functions.

Events
Festivals, birthdays, year-end functions and launches — open lawns, a pool arena and room for staging and bars.

Accommodation
Ensuite rooms on the property, so guests and delegates never have to drive after the event.

Bushveld grounds, twenty minutes off the N4
The rock swimming pool anchors the property. Around it are thatched gazebos, braai points and picnic seating; beyond it the lawn opens up wide enough to take a stage, marquees and a crowd.
Everything sits behind one controlled gate, so a wedding stays private and a ticketed event stays manageable.
- Walled, gated property with on-site parking
- Thatched function hall plus covered outdoor areas
- Swimming pool, lawns and landscaped gardens
- Ensuite rooms in separate accommodation blocks
Everything on one property
Indoor & outdoor space
A thatched hall for seated functions and open lawns for everything that spills outside. Weather never cancels the day.
Pool & gardens
The rock pool and surrounding lawns double as a photo backdrop, a chill zone or the centre of a summer party.
Rooms on site
Ensuite accommodation a short walk from the hall — ideal for the bridal party, out-of-town guests or delegates.
Catering & bar
In-house catering and bar service, or bring your own approved supplier. Braai facilities across the grounds.
Parking & access
Ample on-site parking behind a controlled gate, with easy access for suppliers, staging trucks and load-in.
Built for big events
Space and power for stage, truss, sound and vendor stands — we regularly host large ticketed festivals.
Easy to find, easy to leave
We’re on Bronkhorstspruit Road (the R104) at Plot 17, Mooiplaas, Donkerhoek — a straight run east of Pretoria and a comfortable drive from Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.
Guests who’d rather not drive home can book a room on the property and stay the night.
