A Story of Transformation
Our story began as El Lions, a retreat site operating until 2018. In 2019, new owners breathed new life into the space, transforming it into Saint Ignatius Guest Farm — a name that reflects our values of reflection, community, and renewal.
Today, our venue blends rustic charm with modern comfort, offering a versatile setting rooted in faith, love, and meaningful connection.
Intentional Hospitality, Unforgettable Experiences
At our core, we are dedicated to offering high-end experiences at accessible rates. We understand the stress that often accompanies event planning, which is why we offer all-inclusive packages tailored to your needs. Our services range from full event coordination, catering, and decor to self-catering accommodation in cosy chalets and bunk rooms. With facilities that can host up to 300 guests outdoors or 150 indoors, our venue is ideal for church camps, school retreats, corporate conferences, and, of course, dream weddings.
Our goal is simple: to offer a place where guests can experience beauty, peace, and celebration in a truly relaxed atmosphere. Overlooking the iconic Table Mountain and the Cape Town city skyline, our farm is surrounded by lush lawns, unspoiled nature, and an abundance of charm that’s hard to find elsewhere.
People understanding the joy of celebration§
Saint Ignatius Guest Farm is guided by a passionate, experienced, and professional team. With expertise across theology, event management, design, finance, and business administration, our team shares one mission: to deliver warm, elegant, and stress-free experiences that reflect each client’s vision.
