Shalwyn: Our Gorgeous Country Wedding Venue



Shalwyn Venue and Conference Centre beckons.

Located on Shalwyn Farm, Tala Valley, in the heart of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, it is a mere 20 minutes from Pietermaritzburg, 45 minutes from Durban and just a five hour trip from Johannesburg. A short distance to travel to enjoy pure country bliss.

Our family-run sugar cane farm and wholesale nursery, we invite you to celebrate your special day in our piece of paradise.

Our venue is an old shed transformed and restored to an elegantly rustic taste. Handmade driftwood chandeliers lower the high ceilings and cast romantic hues against the block walls. Large wooden doors opened wide afford breathtaking views of the valley.


The reception room oozes with its own unique character. Features a large thatch pub which serves guests inside as well as those outside on the sprawling wooden deck. Enjoy a drink out here with good friends while the African sun sinks behind darkening hills, perfect for post ceremony gatherings. During the colder months you and your guests can gather round roaring log fires and admire the endless starry skies.


Neighbouring the reception room is our charming chapel with glass windows overlooking dams, hills of sugarcane and natural beauty. Choose to have your ceremony here, on our deck or on our perfectly manicured lawns.

The main attraction to Shalwyn is our vast open space and sweeping views, engulfed in quietude, you quickly forget you are not far from the city.

If I had to plan a wedding these days, I think I'd lose my mind with all the choices out there. Back in the day (when I got married), it was a lot easier. But that also means, it was not nearly as fabulous as weddings are now. So looking forward to seeing your plans!

Thanks,
