The Concept Lab by
We are a hospitality company that creates, owns and operates a series of timeless, thoughtful concepts, each with a unique story and a distinct perspective on the cultural-culinary landscape of the time. While each has a language of its own, the properties are united by a carefully considered sense of place, purpose, pioneering design and above all, a commitment to the most awesome experiences for all who walk through our doors – employees, partners and customers alike.

A lifestyle experience that serves the full family unit. We are passionate about people, eating, socialising and making memories and we thank you from the bottom of our heart for embarking on this journey with us.
Influenced by the seasons, inspired by our collaborations and travels; we bring you creative new food experiences.
Boma is a celebration of sunset, open coal-fire braai, soul food and good vibes. The spirit of South Africa wrapped into 450sqm and surrounded by nature, right in the heart of Pretoria. Come and enjoy a night of authentic South African dishes and the awesome heart-warming feel of sitting next to the fire and making memories!
Coming soon to BOMA! Located above Boma Restaurant, this premium space promises an exclusive experience for guests 23 and older, complete with a full bar and comfortable, stylish seating. Whether you’re booking it for a private event or unwinding with a drink and the stunning views of Wolwespruit, The Boma Bar is all about a next-level atmosphere.
A party in the heart of nature. When you’re feeling down or have cabin fever, Wijntuin offers the perfect mix of fresh air, cocktails, live music and good vibes. The best part? Your kids and pets are allowed to join too! Our favourite past-time is watching the sunset while sipping on something refreshing. Sounds like summer.
Wijnfontein embodies togetherness and celebrates life’s simplicities. A world class, no nonsense, easy drinking wine. Proudly South African but enjoyed globally.
Kids Club grounded on active, educational fun incorporating our bottomless bar concept and a fully trained and experienced team to keep an eye on your little ones.
Igniting our passion for transforming underutilised properties and green belt areas into vibrant lifestyle destinations, PLTFRM is excited to announce its upcoming expansion to another part of Pretoria. Our newest location will be in Hazeldean Valley, nestled in the historic old calf barn – a former dairy farm, rich with rustic charm and heritage. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting chapter!
A refined destination for weddings, events, and conferences that seamlessly blends modern amenities with the tranquillity of nature, offering an inviting escape from the city. Conveniently located in Pretoria East, we are just 20 minutes from Menlyn Shopping Centre and 40 minutes from OR Tambo Airport, making it easy for you and your guests to reach this beautiful destination.
Whether you’re navigating the city or transitioning to and from airport terminals, experience seamless urban exploration with our shuttle services that redefine convenience.
The Cape Winelands region is known for its unique and diverse cuisine, with a wide range of local dishes and wines. PLTFRM Plaisir Restaurant focused on bringing people together, creating a safe environment for family and friends as well as pairing South African dishes with local wines. After 6 months of being open, the restaurant closed its doors. This concept taught us several lessons about the Cape Winelands region and its people. Learn more about this experience.

A first endeavour for us to test our offering outside of Pretoria; we have had the immense privilege of serving our community, creating lasting memories, and sharing joyous occasions. It has been a great opportunity for us to experience how our brand can co-exist in the Cape Winelands and we have learned so much along the way!
