Uylenvlei Retreat and Conference Centre is located along the scenic Fynbos road between Gansbaai and Baardskeerdersbos in the Western Cape’s untouched Southern Overberg. Just 14 kilometres from Gansbaai on the road to Cape Agulhas — the southernmost point of the African continent — it combines the beauty of nature with opportunities for leisure and entertainment. Guests can enjoy conference facilities, luxury self-catering units, well-equipped tent rondavels, Strandveld rooms, a sun-heated swimming pool, braai areas, a boma, secure parking, and access to a hiking trail.
We are deeply committed to preserving the integrity of the local ecosystem and minimizing our environmental footprint. Uylenvlei actively participates in regional initiatives to protect and promote native flora and fauna, offering guests eco-friendly experiences alongside modern comforts.
Uylenvlei Retreat is ideal for team building, strategic planning, training courses, workshops, weddings, special events, or simply escaping the daily grind. By day, enjoy the songs of birds; by night, the soothing sounds of nature and unforgettable sunrises. Here, tranquillity, serenity, and inspiration come naturally.
Uylenvlei Retreat is also home to the Centre for Play Therapy and Training, connected to the Institute for Child, Youth and Family Studies. We offer an excellent conference venue and professional training in various fields related to children, youth, and families. Our programs support professionals in helping emotionally and psychologically affected children through play therapy, enabling them to express feelings, experiences, and behaviors in a safe way.
