Accommodation and Venue Hire

 

A Unique Country Style Wedding and Conference Venue on the North Coast of KwaZulu Natal

Welcome to Chantilly Retreat

At Chantilly Retreat, we understand that your wedding day is a momentous occasion, and we spare no effort to ensure it is nothing short of perfect.

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of the North Coast, Chantilly Retreat stands as one of the foremost destinations for wedding venue hire, offering an idyllic setting for couples embarking on this beautiful journey together.

For those seeking a break away, Chantilly also offers self-catering accommodation, designed to enhance the outdoor experience.

Our enchanting chapel, idyllic gardens, cosy bar with large television screens and a fully equiped restaurant (only available for corporate bookings and functions) make this an ideal venue for weddings and functions.

We are situated 80 km North of Durban, 56 km from King Shaka International Airport and 5 km from Zinkwazi Main Beach.

Our Chalets

We offer six charming chalets, each thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and luxurious stay. Every chalet features a lavish queen-sized bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The kitchenette is well-equipped with basic self-catering facilities, allowing you to prepare your own meals with ease.

The ensuite bathroom includes a bathtub and leads out to a private outdoor rain shower, offering an exhilarating and refreshing experience.

Large glass sliding doors open up to reveal a splendid view right from the comfort of your bed. These doors also lead to your own private deck, which is equipped with a built-in braai (barbecue) and a personal bonfire pit, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars.

Each chalet is equipped with modern amenities, including a TV with DSTV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, ensuring you stay connected and entertained throughout your stay. Our chalets are designed to offer both comfort and a touch of nature, making your stay truly memorable.

Our Farmhouse

Adjacent to Chantilly Retreat, we offer a rustic, self catering farm house on a 2.5-hectare smallholding, that can sleep up to 16 guests. 

Not only is the farm house ideal accommodation for family or group break aways, but can also accommodate wedding and function guests.
