Dining out is always a treat – even more so following a whirlwind of year-end work deadlines, holiday planning, bustling malls for gift shopping, and endless parties. This year, wherever you find yourself on 25 December 2023, let City Lodge Hotels be your oasis during the holiday chaos!
An exclusive and exquisite culinary delight has been crafted by Executive Chef Keegan Maistry and his kitchen brigade at Courtyard Hotel Waterfall City in Midrand, Johannesburg. This is a feast of epic proportions, at a cost of R695 per person (children’s discounted rates apply), with all your favourites taken to dazzling heights of deliciousness.
This is an elegant, single sitting, luxurious luncheon from 12h00 to 16h00 in the hotel’s vibrant, spacious, and comfortable restaurant, The Protea. Why not add on a night or two’s stay, recline and relax at the pool deck, and let us take care of you. Booking is essential – email cywaterfall.fb@citylodgehotels.com (terms and conditions apply) to reserve your seats.
