General Booking Terms & Conditions

Nestled in the stillness of the Jonkershoek mountains, the Motherdough Annex offers a light-filled, private venue designed for gatherings of up to 50 guests.


From birthdays and kitchen teas to intimate get-togethers and corporate days, we bring the warmth of sourdough, mountain air, and artisanal hospitality together in one beautiful space. Each menu – from Harvest Table to Giro Pizza, Kitchen Tea, and Picnic – is crafted on-site using local ingredients and the traditions at the heart of Motherdough.
