If the Easter weekend (18–21 April) crept up on you, or if you’re eyeing that bonus school holiday week from 28 April to 2 May—don’t worry, The Hatchery still has rooms available!
Set on a renovated prawn farm at the mouth of a river in a coastal reserve on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, The Hatchery is your go-to for a laid-back, last-minute adventure. Our rustic, wild spaces offer self-catering comfort—and if you’d rather not cook, catering through Milla’s Catering can be pre-arranged.
We’re child- and pet-friendly, so everyone’s invited. No fuss, no overthinking—just throw a few things in a bag and head out for a breather in nature.
What’s waiting for you:
- Epic outdoor adventure for kids (and grownups) of all ages
- A winding sandy path to the Amatikulu lagoon and beach
- Fishing, canoeing, or stand-up paddle boarding on the river
- Mountain bike rides through the bush or along the shore
- Boma fire pit evenings under the stars
- Afternoon lazing in the splash pools
- And the perfect spot for an unforgettable Easter Egg Hunt
- So if you’re craving a bit of wild with none of the stress—The Hatchery is calling.
Book now before the sunsets and serenity are all snapped up!
