Stop me if this sounds familiar…

You’ve just been tasked with organising the company’s year-end or mid-year function, and suddenly it’s your job to make sure everyone has a good time, the venue is perfect, the food is amazing, and your boss is impressed. All while juggling deadlines and a hundred other tasks.

Sound about right?

At Mokoya Lodge, we get it. Planning a company event shouldn’t feel like an extra full-time job. With years of experience hosting company functions, we know exactly how to take that stress off your plate and turn your event into something your team will genuinely enjoy, and you’ll be proud to have organised.

In this guide, you’ll discover how Mokoya Lodge can make your next company function easy, enjoyable, and unforgettable - without blowing the budget or dealing with last-minute panic.

Why your company function deserves more than a boring hall

You’ve probably been to those company events before - stuffy conference rooms, bland catering, awkward small talk while everyone counts down the minutes until they can leave. The kind of event where people show up because they have to, not because they want to.

Here’s the truth: your company function doesn’t have to be another forgettable “tick-the-box” event.

When you take your team out of the same old environment, something shifts. People relax. They connect in a different way. Conversations feel less forced, and real team spirit starts to build. Choosing a venue that feels like an escape - not just a booking - can make all the difference.

At Mokoya Lodge, you give your team more than just a meal. You give them fresh air, beautiful views, delicious food, and activities that help them unwind and actually enjoy themselves. Whether you want laid-back or energetic, formal or fun, your function can feel more like a reward than a requirement.

The Mokoya Lodge experience: scenic, simple, special

When you choose Mokoya Lodge, you’re not just booking a venue - you’re creating an experience your team will remember.

Set on the banks of the Magalies River, surrounded by the stunning Magaliesberg mountains, Mokoya Lodge offers a setting that immediately feels like an escape from office life. It’s peaceful, it’s refreshing, and it gives your team that breath of fresh air they didn’t even realise they needed.

But it’s not just about the views.

At Mokoya Lodge, everything is made simple for you. You won’t be stuck chasing suppliers, figuring out catering, or worrying about setup. Our experienced team handles it all - whether you’re planning a relaxed afternoon or a more formal awards evening.

It’s the perfect balance: professional enough to impress your boss, yet relaxed enough that your team actually has fun. Scenic, simple, and special - your event, done right.

Company function packages made easy

You shouldn’t have to piece together your company function from scratch, and with Mokoya Lodge, you don’t have to.

Our packages are designed to make your life easier, giving you flexible options based on your budget, group size, and goals for the day. Whether you’re after a relaxed lunch in the garden, a fun-filled day of activities, or a more formal dinner event, there’s a package that ticks your boxes.

What’s included?

• Venue hire with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces
• Delicious meals prepared fresh on-site
• Drinks packages tailored to your preferences
• Team-building activities or laid-back leisure options
• Accommodation options for those who want to stay over

And if you want something a little different? No problem. We can customise packages to suit your company’s needs. Less stress for you, more enjoyment for your team.

Activities that actually get your team talking

No one remembers sitting around a table for hours - but they will remember what they did together.

At Mokoya Lodge, you’ll find activities that actually get your team to unwind, laugh, and bond. Whether you want to keep it chilled or inject some energy into your event, we’ve got options that suit every vibe.

For some light-hearted laughs, you’ve got plenty of fun and games to choose from. Think lawn games, friendly competitions, and activities that bring out the team spirit without feeling forced. Want to take it up a notch? Dive into a potjie competition, get the creativity flowing with a cocktail-making challenge, or enjoy other custom team-building experiences designed to get everyone involved.

And of course, if some of your team prefers to keep it more relaxed, there are peaceful riverbank strolls and garden spaces where they can unwind.

The best part? You don’t have to choose just one vibe. Mix and match to suit your group’s energy - fun for those who want it, chill time for those who need it. Either way, you’ll have a function that actually gets your team talking… and laughing.

The logistics: location, transport, accommodation

One of the first questions you’ll hear when planning any company function is: “Where is it?” followed quickly by, “How far is it to get there?”

Mokoya Lodge is just under an hour from Johannesburg and Pretoria - far enough to feel like a proper getaway, close enough that it’s easy to manage in a day. No flights, no stressful travel arrangements, just a smooth drive out to the beautiful Magaliesberg.

Worried about transport?

Many of our corporate groups choose to arrange a shuttle service or team transport, which we can help you organise. That way, no one has to worry about directions or designated drivers.

Need accommodation?

Our comfortable country-style rooms are available for overnight stays, ideal for teams who want to turn their function into a proper overnight escape or a weekend retreat.

When you host your company function at Mokoya Lodge, you can be confident that logistics won’t turn into a headache. Everything is sorted, from arrival to departure.
