What a full-day package covers at Venue D’Aria

A planner choosing a venue for a day of sessions asks the same few questions: what is in the package, how long can we stay, and how will the room look at dinner. Venue D’Aria answers most of them on its own venue page. This post lays the answers out, and says plainly what the page does not say.

The venue adds that a minimum spend may apply. All beverages, telephone calls, special dietary requirements and other extras are charged on consumption and settled on departure. This site shows no prices, so ask us for the figure for your date.

After the sessions

The venue’s private events package is a separate list. It says the venue fee includes use of the venue until midnight (24h00 on the venue’s page), and that use after that time carries an additional venue fee. Round tables seat a maximum of 10 guests, with white or black tablecloths and napkins; cutlery, crockery and glassware are included. Chair covers, other decor, entertainment and equipment can be arranged at an additional charge. The page does not say whether the same terms apply to a conference day, so for one we ask the venue and confirm in writing.

The venue says it delivers a four-star hospitality experience.

The place

The venue’s address is Tygerberg Valley Road, Durbanville. The home page places D’Aria between the rolling hills of Durbanville and the ocean breeze of Bloubergstrand, and says its guest cottages are 25 minutes from Cape Town. The land joins two farms, Doordekraal and Springfield. The about page says the history of Springfield dates to 1698, when the governor of the Cape first granted the land, and that D’Aria’s first crop was in 2008. The home page puts the 1698 grant to Tryntje Verwey on Doordekraal, so we do not say which farm it was.
