Blythedale Beach Accommodation / Palm Dune Beach Lodge Blythedale Beach Accommodation / Conference Venue / Wedding Venue

Palm Dune Beach Lodge is situated just forty minutes north of Durban on a secluded beach known as Blythedale Beach. Being right on the beach and adjacent to a nature reserve makes the venue highly versatile and ideal for weddings, conferences or a relaxing family holiday.

A Lodge of this nature is a rare find on the sought after Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu Natal and is within easy reach of the major cities and towns of Durban, Richards Bay and Pietermaritzburg. Gateway shopping centre is only 35 minutes drive from the Lodge and Durban International Airport only 55 minutes.

The dining room is elevated, providing stunning views over the ocean and seats up to 80 people in comfort. A small lounge area with a fireplace provides the ideal place to enjoy a cognac, cigar and good conversation. For more social evenings there is a fully stocked and serviced bar. A large deck extends from the dining room open to the atmosphere of the warm Indian Ocean. The deck is equipped with a traditional braai and spit roast facility and seats a further 60 people.

Nestled between the main facility and the rooms is a large sparkling swimming pool to cool off on a hot summer's day. Guests can relax around the pool and enjoy service from the kitchen and bar.
