Year End Function Package

A Year End Function Package Is The Answer

With the year-end fast approaching and potential venues filling up fast, many PA’s will be busily phoning around the local hotels and restaurants.  Their purpose; the frantic annual effort to find seating for 30 or 300 staff members who, once again, will be sharing turkey, brandy and crackers while hoping their cars are safe in the parking lot. Menus will be discussed; perhaps entertainment arranged and, almost inevitably, the corporate revellers will find themselves in a venue much like last year’s. A corporate year end function package is a far better option.

For a start, why confine your most important assets to 4 walls within a concrete jungle when, only an hour or so away, the enchantment of a natural venue, shared with wild game in the heart of beautiful bush lands, awaits them? Secondly, why leave all the hassle of organizing every last detail of the event to a personal assistant that could be more productively employed.

Spoiled For Choice
You can forget “same as last year” when you book a year end function package from Cardinal Leisure. With a wide range of hotels, country estates and lodges within South Africa and beyond, there is certainly no need for repetition, although we are equally certain that, having once experienced any one of our luxurious venues, you will be eager to return.

It’s not just the venues that are so special, however. Each offers guests a choice of varied and exciting activities as well as great opportunities to relax while away from the rat race.

For the adventurous, our year end function package could include a game drive with an experienced ranger and a chance to spot the ‘big five’ or any of several extreme sporting activities. For the less bold there’s golf, while a guest who merely needs some pampering and TLC could enjoy as spa experience of massage.

Maintaining a reputation for exceptional standards of accommodation at our venues is a matter of pride. Well-appointed suites are the norm and offer air-conditioning or heating to suit the needs of any year end function package. Each suite will provide guests with a queen or king sized bed, a mini bar, a mosquito net where needed and even remotely operated weather screens for the last word in hassle-free comfort.

Choose How You Travel
Of course, there is nothing to stop guests from making their own travel arrangements but it is also totally unnecessary. Your package could simply be structured to leave all of the logistics to us allowing your staff to travel as a group using scheduled flights. Choosing a year end function package at one of our more remote locations poses no problem, a charter flight will provide the ideal solution. The charter service for small groups of 8 to 10 but can also handle larger numbers.

Not in a hurry? Want to gaze at the flowers? What could meet those needs better than a scenic rail tour. We offer a variety of routes from the luxurious Blue Train and Rovos Rail portfolios that make travelling an experience to remember.

Something For All Ages Too
A year end function package from Cardinal Leisure must often cater for a wide range of age groups as well as for gender requirements. You can leave the leisure arrangements to us and be sure that there is something to match the interests and physical abilities of every guest. Whether you just want them to have fun or are looking for something a little more structured, that’s our area of expertise and your advantage.
It’s never too early to be thinking about your staff and client’s end of year festivities so allow plenty of time. Contact us and take the hassle out of arranging a year end function package you will never forget.
