Apr 082014

Casablanca Manor lends itself as a conference venue where conferences, team-building sessions, seminars, training programmes, brainstorm sessions, workshops, strategic sessions and product launches can be held in the most creative meeting place possible!

casablanca1

The venue is a quick escape from city life and easily accessible from the highway. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from Pretoria, on the old Pretoria/ Bronkhorspruit road, it is a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is easily accessible from from Johannesburg and Kempton Park as well as the N4, east of Pretoria.

Within this setting of peace, beautiful surroundings and tranquility, it would be hard not to facilitate a meeting where creative thinking flows with ease. Delegates will be inspired by the natural beauty of the countryside, bushveld and surrounds.
