The Allée Bleue Estate in the Franschhoek valley has opened Le Grand Hall, a 250-seater venue designed for receptions and launches. Artists and designers Emil and Gundel Sogor, the creative team responsible for shaping much of the estate's identity, designed the venue. Along with personalised service comes the advantage of being on a farm - there are no cut-off times or music regulations, so guests can dance the night away. Overnight accommodation is available in Kendall Cottage, with two suites and a living room leading to a terrace. It will soon be complemented by further luxury accommodation in the historic buildings currently under restoration.
