Exclusive group stays in Storms River
Meet, then get out on the water
The whole of Mali Lodge to yourselves — for team offsites, small conferences and celebrations that swap the boardroom for the Tsitsikamma, with our own Blackwater Tubing built into the day.
Why Mali Lodge
Somewhere different to gather
Storms River does not have a dedicated venue like this — which is exactly why groups keep coming back to Mali. Take over the property for a couple of days and you get a private, self-contained base in the forest: accommodation for the group, a kitchen and catering conversation in one place, space to meet, and the Garden Route's best adventures a few minutes away for afternoon team-building.
No convoy between hotel, restaurant and activity. Your group gathers, stays and heads out from one base.
A practical group base
What you get
Food, planned with you
Tell us what your programme needs and we will discuss the suitable on-site catering approach, timings and dietary requirements.
A working base that stays on
Reliable fibre for presentations and hybrid sessions, backed by 22.5 kW of solar and a 60 kVA generator.
Adventure on the doorstep
We will help build the afternoons around tubing, forest trails, ziplines and more — memorable team-building without complicated logistics.
Bring the right people together
Ideal for
Mali works best for groups that want useful time together without spending the whole trip inside a conventional conference venue.
Team offsites
Strategy days and focused time away from the office.
Small conferences
Workshops and facilitated group sessions.
Celebrations
Milestones, reunions and private group occasions.
Group getaways
Club, church and special-interest escapes.

In the works: a conference room in the treetops
