Profile
The Range Tokai Cape Town is one of the Southern Suburbs’ most distinctively beautiful and versatile function, conference, and wedding venues — a rustic, characterful estate at Orpen Road, Tokai, Cape Town, tucked between the wine lands of the Constantia Valley and the pine woodlands of Tokai Forest, nestled at the foot of the Constantiaberg Mountain. Surrounded by vineyards, mountain views, and the fragrant forest of Tokai — The Range Tokai Cape Town offers an atmosphere of genuine countryside seclusion that is remarkably rare just 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre.
With a beautifully restored rustic Log Cabin, a large permanent Marquee accommodating 120–450 guests, a 2,500 square metre open arena for teambuilding and outdoor events, the nearby Tokai Stone Chapel for wedding ceremonies, and the beloved weekly Chilled Market every Friday evening — The Range Tokai Cape Town is a genuinely multi-layered destination for weddings, conferences, corporate events, teambuilding, birthday parties, and one of Cape Town’s most popular Friday night food markets.
