A venue unlike the others

Chandeliers on a beach. Nobody finds that strange.

A restored warehouse with its own sand to the water's edge, inside the V&A Waterfront. If you have seen every hotel ballroom and wine farm in the Cape, this is the other option. Angel wings on the walls, red roses on the tables, candelabras on the sand and the Atlantic at the end of it. Nine private venues, five bars, and an events team that enjoys an unusual brief.

What makes it the Grand

The only beach in the Waterfront

A private beach to the water's edge, with Table Mountain behind you and the sun setting into the Atlantic in front.

Old-world glamour, bare feet

Chandeliers, candelabras, antique furniture and copper-topped bars, on sand. Pearls and bare feet, by design.

Nine rooms with character

From an intimate dinner for 50 to the full precinct for 1 050, each venue with its own light, art and view.
