The Story Of Us

We are a family of five, who had a dream. A dream big enough to be almost impossible. We fell in love with the old dormant Van Riebeeck Theater, that was not in use for many years. With a lot of prayers and a string of miracles, we acquired the theater. The inside of the theater with its original retro red 535, amphitheater style seats was beautifully preserved. We discovered unused rooms behind the huge stage and converted them into luxury rooms. The former dressing rooms were also upgraded into small guest rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

We started to fix and replace water pipes, added a small kitchen to the building and also moved into the upstairs projector room with its store rooms. It was a big sacrifice to live in such unusual circumstances, but at the same time also a very big adventure, for which we are extremely grateful! We have recently expanded our “house”, so now all of us have our own rooms, its amazing!

I did all the interior design, with the help of my mother (Corlia de Wet) who is the most practical person on earth, not to mention insanely creative. I had a vision, and she helped me to execute it. We spend hours (actually more like...months) to get the theater to be fully functional. It is a very big building, and this new baby needs a lot of TLC, so the project is very much ongoing, and we will continue to add value and make it better and better for our guests, who are very special to us.

We have recently added 6 new standard rooms, so in total we have 2 Luxury Rooms, 2 Basic Rooms, 6 Standard rooms and then the private House with 4 Rooms, and three bathrooms. The theater is operational and we host shows for artists from South Africa, 4-6 times per year.
