Some venues simply host an event.
Others become part of the story.
Nestled in the heart of Muldersdrift, Trés Jolie Boutique Hotel is more than just a beautiful venue—it’s a destination where elegance, nature, and timeless charm come together. On 29 August, it will become the enchanting home of Date with a Trope, transforming into an Alice in Wonderland-inspired world where readers, authors, and storytellers gather for an unforgettable literary afternoon.
