Waterfall Retreat & Environmental Centre

The most tranquil grounds, absolutely breathtaking scenery of the Nkutu Valley and beautifully apt architecture make the Waterfall Retreat Center the perfect setting for a retreat! We have visited the Waterfall Retreat Center for a number of retreats, courses and events, and have found the facilitators to be highly skilled, the food fantastic and the overall experience truly memorable. I cannot recommend the Waterfall Retreat Center highly enough!

Waterfall Retreat Center is one of Durban's hidden gems. Everything about it, from the stunning natural environment, to the exquisite buildings and the delicious food is an absolute joy to the soul. You will leave with your heart and spirits recharged.

I had a magical first visit to the WRC saturday morning sadhana and was blown away at the quality of teaching of mindfulness based yoga, an avenue largely unexplored in conventional classes. I have since returned to enjoy the scenery, architecture, waterfall and bird life that are available at the centre and have always felt most welcome by the staff. Highly recommended for yogis and meditators of any level, nature lovers & conservationists!

Waterfall Retreat Center is truly a breathtaking experience and a journey for the senses. Regardless of personal interests, there is something amazing for everyone to enjoy, from the gorgeous valley, with wildlife and gardens, to the impressive eastern inspired architecture. The various classes and highly skilled instructors offer world class expertise, for total beginners or experienced yogis. You are guaranteed to leave with a deep sense of balance and a promise to visit again!

Waterfall Retreat Centre is a wonderful hidden gem. I never expected to have found such a special place nestled away in the Nkutu Valley. The centre is a welcoming sanctuary for all individuals, offering a peaceful space to practice meditation and mindfulness. Yoga and meditation classes at Waterfall Retreat Centre are of the highest quality and come highly recommended, even for beginners!

I'm an avid traveler and have experienced many remarkable places around the world. The Waterfall is one of the most beautiful, soulful, memorable places I've ever visited. The entire valley is imbued with a soft ambiance, peacefulness and nurturing beauty. The staff are kind, honest and caring and I found the centre and its environmental and humanitarian focus truly inspirational.” Love, Michelle x

We have spent many wonderful days at the Waterfall Retreat Centre and the Floating House and have so enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful place. The scenic walk down to the magnificent Waterfall was a memorable experience. The entire family enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear water, surrounded by the beautiful unspoilt nature. It is a bird-lovers' paradise.

This is a serene piece of heaven with abundant bird life and a great gourge walk. Everytime I leave, I do so with a sense of peace and well being. You can see the crowned eagle pair often and the three waterfalls are lots of fun.
