This year we have chosen Alpine Heath Resort to host SMART Summit 2011. Set in the majestic Northern Drakensberg, midway between Durban and Johannesburg, Alpine Heath Resort is a stylish four-star Afro-Swiss designed mountain village, surrounded by crystal-clear streams and mountain-fresh air, and is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s premier conference venues.

Blending perfectly into the surrounding landscape, Alpine Heath Resort offers superb north-facing chalet accommodation with stunning views of the mountains. Each chalet offers 3 bedroom suites including a main bedroom with en-suite bathroom and 2 bedrooms fitted with twin beds, a second bathroom with bath and separate shower, lounge, kitchenette and patio. Guests may choose to either share a chalet with colleagues, while still sleeping in separate bedrooms, or our single rate offers you a chalet all to yourself!
