To the dads who never outgrew adventure...

The ones who say yes to a paddle on the river, a walk in the bush, a game on the lawn, or one more splash before sunset.

Thank you for making time for fun and memories that last long after the holiday ends.

Happy Father's Day from The Hatchery. 🌿

🐟 You lucky fish! 🐟

June Special – Book 3 nights, only pay for 2!

Zululand winter is lekker lekker at The Hatchery.

Think frosty mornings wrapped in a blanket with a hot coffee, listening to the early birds wake up and the fish eagles call across the lagoon. Sun-kissed days are made for paddling, forest bike rides, and soaking up the slower pace of nature. And when the temperature drops? That's your cue to slip into the wood-fired hot tub and watch the stars come out.

Book 3 nights and only pay for 2 throughout June.

Catch this special while it lasts! 🎣

Two Love Stories, One Wildly Beautiful Setting ✨

Tucked away in the natural beauty of the reserve, surrounded by river, bush and the quiet magic of the coast, The Hatchery has become the backdrop to some truly unforgettable celebrations.

On 20 September 2025, Kaylee & Stuart brought vibrant colour, laughter and relaxed joy to the reserve — a wedding filled with easy-going moments, wonderful friends and so much love.

Then, on 18 April 2026, Kerry & Tom celebrated beneath the trees and stars, with golden light, heartfelt moments and the kind of romance that feels beautifully effortless. Their special day was captured by photographer Paige Furness.

From intimate ceremonies to long-table celebrations in nature, weddings at The Hatchery are filled with warmth, connection and a little wild magic 🤍
