THE HAYTERDALE CLUBHOUSE
The Clubhouse is a treasure for all types of events and gatherings. It was recently built in 2020 by Robert Hayter himself.
To host an event here would be having a beautiful morning, day or evening under the African skies. The building bears no walls so that you and your guests can enjoy the moment completely nestled in nature. A tin roof will shelter you from rain so that you are guaranteed to have a stress-free event. Your guests will be able to enjoy a true South African pit fire where they can share old, and create new stories. A wooden deck sits sternly over the Hayterdale dam which offers life to the bush and its living creatures. Next to the clubhouse are camping grounds so that guests can walk to their beds after a wholesome night of creating memories.
