SUPPRISE 40th BIRTHDAY PARTY




WOW, thank you thank you thank you!! We had a function at Straight Way Head Country House Hotel on Friday, 30 October 2009.

From the moment I walked in at those doors I was treated with respect, enthusiasm and nothing was too much to handle for these people. Our function at another venue turned out to be such a mess, I cancelled the venue due to un-cleanliness & lack of assistance… therefore we came to Straightway Head at the last minute. We had a day to plan everything.

The night I walked in, it looked like they had a month to plan all the decoration and detail they put into this event. I was blown away. Coming out of the Hotel Industry myself and always expecting the best, I was surprised as to the extent these people went. Everything was done in excellence, love and with a smile on their face. It was like it was their own function.

Thank you Marius and Hetta for making my friends 40th Birthday Party the most memorable party she has ever had.  I cant wait to work with you guys again. You are awesome

A big thank you as well to the Cheff, Peter… you are awesome. The food was great and more than enough. Everyone loved it. Thank you for accommodating us with the menu, you saved my life!!

I pray that you will receive an abundant bookings (accommodation and restaurant), that you will be packed out for Christmas and New Year, that people will flow in at your establishment and that you will experience and overflow!

I for one will surely tell everyone where to go from now on.

Thank you once again.

Much Love
