The hatchery offers a unique wedding destination close enough to the major centres yet different enough to place guests in the moment. The surrounding villages of Mtunzini and Zinkwazi offer ample accommodation for those guests not staying at the venue. The Hatchery is set on a deserted old prawn farm on a river mouth and coastal reserve on the KZN North Coast. The history of the facility was kept in mind when converting the facility and the buildings look much like they did when prawns were spawned here. The result is a venue that offers a unique blend of comfort and rustic old cool in an idyllic setting. Our venue can accommodate a total of 150 guests. Note that this is for the reception and not for the accommodation itself.
We look forward to having you view the venue and discussing your ideas on how to make your special wedding holiday unique.
The wedding venue offers a ceremony deck with a panaromic view of the lagoon below. Alternately a ceremony on the dunes can be arranged, offering views of the lagoon, ocean, and reserve.
The Hatchery offers a ‘blank canvas’ reception area where you can let your imagination run wild. The Hatchery can accommodate up to 150 guests at the wedding reception. We have loved the creativity of our clients and hosted a great variety in wedding themes at The Hatchery, from vintage earthy neutrals to vibrant carnival coloured fiestas... we have the space to allow you to bring your wedding dream to life!
Our 'bush setting' away from residential areas allows our guest the freedom to celebrate from sunup until sundown... and well into the morning after. What a better way to start your happily ever after than to having no time cap with family and friends.
The Hatchery has 50 beds on the property to accommodate 'your nearest and dearest' as overnight guests, as well as providing the wedding party the convenience of dressing up mere footsteps away from the isle.
The surrounding villages of Mtunzini and Zinkwazi offer ample accommodation options for overflow guests.
