Chantilly is a unique family & pet friendly venue for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. A relaxing inconspicuous oasis situated near the small, quiet town of Darnall(2 km's), a few kilometers from the popular holiday village of Zinkwazi Beach(5 km's). Chantilly consists of 6x SELF-CATERING chalets on one property & a 6-bedroom SELF-CATERING farm-style guesthouse on another property, 200m down the road (Properties are separated). Chantilly is ideal for self-sufficient & down to earth guests who are keen to do their own thing & not be bothered by anybody. A picturesque wedding venue, honeymoon destination & romantic getaway. Relax in the ambient serenity of this hidden gem, we offer each guest the chance to truly unwind. Get in tune with nature & the simple things in life. Please do not arrive expecting the luxuries of the usual commercial resorts. We are a very small quiet & basic resort style property that wants to attract non-needy guests that are happy to arrive prepared to do their own thing. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A SELF-CATERING ONLY FACILITY & HAVE NO GOODS FOR SALE ONSITE. YOU NEED TO BRING EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE WITH YOU.
Our housekeeping/hosting team comprises of Angi, Anna, Grace & Francy. Our garden/maintenance team comprises of Sbonelo, Sbu, Sothini & Tim
Zinkwazi Bach is our nearest holiday town with amazing beaches, hiking trails & restaurants. Darnall has a country club where you can play golf & squash.
