Given the passion and involvement of the directors in the sport of rowing, and the location on the Roodeplaat Dam, the entire Hotel has been named along with a rowing theme. Many of the directors have represented South Africa internationally, competing in many regattas abroad, not least of which the Henley Royal Regatta, occurring annually in the Thames River in England.
The Silver Goblet Conference venue, our largest venue, is named after an event at the Henley Royal Regatta, which has been won four times by our very own Ramon di Clemente.
All our other venues have been named after major international rowing regattas.
