The Bend is a place of striking natural beauty, magnificent scenery, an abundance of both bird life and game, extensive indigenous forests and the lovely Mooi River, who's waters are rich with wild trout. It is in this setting that you are able to practice outdoor pursuits ranging from the gentile art of fly fishing and birding to hiking, horse riding, mountain biking and paragliding. Alternatively, The Bend offers the ideal base from which to explore the arts and crafts studios that comprise the Midlands Meander, thus ensuring that there is something for every visitor. AccommodationAA-graded “Superior” accommodation in the gracious lodge and cottages. Enjoy the comfort of a truly gracious country house with 8 Victorian style en-suite. Self-catering cottages are available. WeddingsThe spectacular natural beauty, warm hospitality and graceful style of The Bend, makes it the ideal venue for a romantic getaway in which to celebrate your wedding, be it an intimate elopement or an elegant dinner dance for 140 guests. The weddings hosted by The Bend all turn out to be "weekend" events as the party continues through the night, and ends with a Champagne Brunch the following day. We can provide a complete service including liaising with the minister, the photographer, the florist and the musicians. You will find that once you have made the decision to have us host your wedding, everything will run as you wish it to, leaving you free to relax and enjoy what will be one of the most exciting and unforgettable days of your lives.

We have 3 break away rooms and can supply the basic equipment, including overhead projector and screen, flipchart, white board and TV and video. We also offer fax and e-mail facilities in our office. We are small enough to ensure that your requirements are dealt with personally, yet pride ourselves on our professionalism. ActivitiesThe Bend offers a wide range of outdoor activities from fly fishing and horse riding to paragliding, which together with luxury accommodation, superb food, an intimate pub, log fires and warm hospitality, promises a breakaway that will be both productive and highly enjoyable for all concerned. |
