Come paint and sip with us, the Original Paint Nite! It's a fun night out, whether you need some quality time with your besties, need to make a first date less awkward, or make a married couple's date night a little more awkward - this is for you. Our motto is "Relax and have Fun". Concentrate, laugh, learn a new skill - as long as you RELAX and have FUN. Your experienced and friendly art instructor will take you through the chosen painting, step by step. It's not paint-by-numbers, so you'll still have the feeling of accomplishment, and bragging rights, because you'll have done it by yourself! The materials and tools are all included, all you need to bring is a positive attitude. Waiters will take your drinks and snack orders while you paint. Many painters come early and have a full meal and a few glasses of wine first. This allows you the opportunity to pick your preferred seats too. The paintings are done in quality acrylic paint, that starts out as water soluble, but dries to a permanent, tough surface that will last many years.
The OKO rooftop restaurant with stunning 360view over Joburg is the perfect spot for our Paint and Sip events — great vibes, amazing company, and a space designed for laughter and creativity. Whether you’re catching up with friends or trying something new, our rooftop venue sets the scene for a relaxed, feel-good Paint Night. OKO is where East meets West in an exciting coming together of cultures and culinary traditions. Order your favorite drink, enjoy some delicious bites* and let the music, paint, and conversation flow. It’s all about connection, creativity, and making memories—no experience needed, just a willingness to have fun! * Food and drink are for your own account and not included in your Paint Nite ticket.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Moonlight Garden is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Danie breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Danie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Blueberry Hill Hotel, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Yes — Moonlight Garden is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Honeydew. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Danie is a real local artist based in Honeydew — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Sandy M. said: 'It was a great experience. It was incredibly rewarding to see how the painting came together so beautifully. Danie was awesome'
Blueberry Hill Hotel is a local venue in Honeydew — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Moonlight Garden is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Honeydew, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Moonlight Garden includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Danie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Blueberry Hill Hotel — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Danie starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
