About Shalwyn Venue & Conference Centre

Shalwyn is conveniently located 45 minutes from Durban and only 20 minutes from Pietermaritzburg.

Cradled among the lush sugar cane fields of the Tala Valley, this lovely wedding venue has all the charm of a country retreat where you just know your wedding will be a stress free success. The venue is located on a working sugar cane farm and nursery. Indigenous gardens surround the main building attracting butterflies and birds aplenty. A large wooden, wrap around deck commands views over endless hills of sugar cane and in the distance, you can catch a glimpse of the dams abundant with duck and herons going about their business. In the late afternoon, the sun casts a golden glow over a picturesque jetty, ideal for those timeless photographs. Despite this beautiful setting, the best thing about Shalwyn is its versatility. This potato shed turned elegantly rustic wedding venue can seat 50 to 300 people. Its high ceilings adorned with handmade wooden chandeliers lend an air of grandeur creating an impressive canvas where a bride to be can go to town on personalizing the venue to her own décor tastes. With the use of cleverly placed screens or drapes, unneeded space can be cordoned off to make the perfect setting for a more intimate wedding. On a hot summers’ day, the stackable, concertina doors are opened wide to let the cool breeze drift in. Two oversize fireplaces in the centre of the room keep the cold at bay on chilly winter evenings. The chapel overlooks the same views as the deck and can seat up to 180 people. For those who prefer a garden service, outside ceremonies can also be arranged, and more recently our enchanted forest has been rehabilitated. It is the most serene setting, accentuated by the stream that flows past... Shalwyn is run by its owners who take gr

We came here for a family wedding and the venue was stunning. Tbe ceremony was in the woods/Forrest and this as a location is really calming. The venue for the post ceremony was also super cool. High ceilings, big open spaces, large deck and a well featured bar area. The food was outstanding. Could not fault the venue. Well done and keep up the good work.

Great venue for a wedding. Forest service is one of the best in KZN, for sure. The main venue is large enough to cope with big functions, with a wrap around patio and built in bar. Food is always good, venue well kept and well run, friendly staff and management. Pleasure to Dj here.
