Saunas have come a long way since they were first created in Northern Europe, being nothing more than large pits in the ground covered in animal hides, with a fire burning inside beneath a pile of stones.
A Corporate Retreat in the Winelands
Sourcing the perfect location for an executive, corporate retreat is never an easy task, and there are a myriad of things to take into consideration. You may be searching for something quirky, yet comfortable; a dash of adventure with a touch of luxury; something off the beaten track but still close to all the gems that a nearby town has to offer… De Zeven Guest Lodge has got it all.
Situated on the slopes of the Banhoek Valley between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, and less than an hour's drive from Cape Town, your team will have access to exceptional meeting facilities, outdoor activities, elegant dinner venues, and of course five-star quality accommodation.
No detail has been spared in our Cinema Room, and with comfortable couch seating and a Smart TV, every presentation will be an unforgettable experience! Our indoor-outdoor lounge has proven to encourage new perspectives simply because of its vantage point. Projectors and whiteboards are available too as well as the option to order specially crafted corporate gifts.
Once the business side of things has been handled and the deal of the decade has been clenched, it’s time to let the team’s hair down and treat them to the magic of the winelands! Step into the crisp winter sun and explore the Banhoek trails by bike or foot. Take a stroll down the Art Route in Franschhoek and hop onto the Wine Tram for a tasting or five, before returning for dinner at one of the many award-winning restaurants in the valley, such as The Werf Restaurant at Boschendal, or Tokara Restaurant which is just a stone’s throw away.
The lodge is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay, and we encourage you to make use of all of our fabulous facilities; from the infinity pool and sauna to the dining areas and gorgeous veranda.

We love summertime in the Banhoek Valley. It’s a time to explore the many trails and tracks that criss-cross the mountains, to wander through the vineyards and to taste the delicious wines that they yield. It’s a time for sunbathing, swimming and sundowners on the patio. Summer is a time to celebrate, and at De Zeven, we like to celebrate in style. Here are some of the adventures that lie in wait...
