Pre-Celebration Dinner
We would love you to join us on Friday afternoon and evening at Forest Hall Estate, The Crags, near Plettenberg Bay for our pre-celebration pool party and braai. We know it is a long drive from Cape Town (or East London), what better way to start off the celebrations with a couple of drinks and some delicious food South African style. I highly recommend possibly taking off work on the Friday, so that the drive is easy, and we can take our time enjoying the property and time together. We recommend leaving no later than 10am on Friday, to drive easy and safe, check your wheel tire pressures etc etc for a hassle free experience.
Dress Code
The dress code is casual. Please wear whatever you are comfortable in but keep in mind that this event will be outside, so bring a jacket for later on in the evening. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit if you would like to take a dip.
There will be Wine and Beer available on Friday evening. Please feel free to bring along your go-to poison to enjoy on the Friday evening.
The property offers a camping area for those of you who love to bring your own 'home' along. :) This option is free. There is a toilet and an outside shower for the 'campers'. Camping Area is next to the Pool House on the property.
The Pool House has it's own small kitchenette, plug points, 3x fridges, couches, dining table and a beautiful fire place. There is a communal bathroom in the main house with a large mirror as an option for 'campers' to get ready in too.
The facilities of the Main House is open to everyone on the property.
