had its origins in 1692 when the Dutch governor of
the Cape, Simon van der Stel granted the farm to a
German settler Arnout Janz.
In 1712, the farm was bought by Hans Heinrich
Hattingh who named it after his hometown Speyer, on
a tributary of the Rhine River. Built in the typical
Cape Dutch architectural style, the original
buildings have been beautifully restored. Besides an
hotel, restaurants and a performing arts theatre,
the estate provides many activities that include
wine tasting, golf, walks & trails, horse riding,
and encounters with cheetahs and eagles.
Registration for the conference will include a
unique dining experience at the Moyo outdoor
restaurant, at which a sumptuous buffet of African
flavoured dishes is accompanied by indigenous live
entertainment. For those delegates who wish to enjoy
the estate and the country district of Stellenbosch
at their leisure on the following day, (highly
recommended) a number of rooms have been reserved
for delegates who wish to stay overnight at their
own expense.
A bus will be provided to transport delegates from
the Cape Town Waterfront to Spier in the morning and
back again after the evening's entertainment.
For those who have stayed overnight, a bus will be
provided on late Saturday afternoon to return them
back to the Cape Town Waterfront.
