A little bit of history

In the 1880’s the ‘Old Shop’ traded as a general shop and was managed by the German Mr.J.H Kuper.  The shop was a place where you could buy a variety of products, from clothing to petrol when passing through Mamre. After 50 years as a general store, it was turned into a ballet school and a Standard Bank Agency.Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie

For the last 2 years, the ‘Old Shop’ has been home to the Tori Oso Geselshuisie, where you can enjoy a nice coffee, good food and friendly service all set on the tranquil Mamre Werf.

Weddings, parties, and other celebrations

Due to its natural beauty and close proximity to Cape Town, Tori Oso is a very popular venue for weddings. The shop is suitable to host weddings for up to about 60 – 120 people. They already have a number of successful weddings under their catering belts.

The whole wedding package includes the church, priest, music, flowers, photographer, food, wine, dance, and the party can be arranged. The only thing that cannot be arranged is the weather! Tori Oso can also reserve tents, just to be on the safe side.

Good relations with local musicians ensure that a wide choice in live music is available. The lapa in the backyard is used to conduct the formal part of the wedding ceremony. Or, if you prefer, the Historic Church is available on “Die Mamre Werf”. The church is only a few feet away from Tori Oso.Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie Tori Oso Geselshuisie

The Mamre Heritage Walk

At the Mamre Werf, 57km from the centre of Cape Town, you can get a dose of culture and heritage while you get back into nature. The 8 historical buildings are complimented by huge trees, colourful gardens and grassy fields. There are rocks to climb up, streams to investigate and plenty of open space for the kids to run around and get rid of some energy.

The new Mamre Heritage Walk map ensures you do not miss anything. Follow the arrows as the path leads you to eight charming historical buildings before taking you on a short walk up the hill. Here you will find the cemetery and the headstones that tell their own stories. Look out for the ruins of what must have been the house with the best views in times gone by.

Explore on your own with the map, or ask for a guide to add a richness to the experience, with their stories and facts, all shared with great pride. The guides are local folks who are rooted in Mamre, going back many generations. They have all the real stories to tell, the ones that you will not find in the history books.
