Visit Chartwell Castle For An Amazing Adventure

Joburg Admin / October 17, 2025

Have you always dreamed of spending a night in a castle? Take a short drive out of the city to visit Chartwell Castle. Between the winding gardens, traditional turrets, and a giant maze you'll have fun getting lost in, this is a magical venue perfect for both overnight stays and daytime outings.

You don't have to venture very far out of the city to find Joburg's own castle. Come on a fairytale adventure to Chartwell Castle! You'll feel as if you've journeyed into another world as you enter the grounds. The Baroque-inspired spires and towers look like they've come straight out of a movie!

The venue offers a restaurant, a range of activities, and accommodation options. It makes for a stunning wedding venue and conference centre we're happy to recommend.

Family Fun

Bring the whole family along for a fun day out at Chartwell Castle. Their epic 6000m² maze is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, so it's definitely a sight you don't want to miss. This certainly tops our list as one of the most unique outdoor venues in Joburg. Book yourself a tour of the maze here, and start planning your very own maze run or photoshoot.

If your little prince or princess isn't quite ready to explore the maze, the kiddies' play area guarantees a good time. A castle-themed bouncy house, rocket-shaped inflatables, and a mini train track will keep your little ones happily entertained. Guest house visitors can cool off in the pool, too, so everyone gets to unwind and enjoy some well-deserved downtime!

Fit For A King

Chartwell Castle is a four-storied castle and guest house. Formerly a private residence, the Castle now provides accommodation for up to 40 people. The castle’s five spacious suites each come with their own private bathroom and underfloor heating, plus charming, country-style décor that makes you feel right at home.

There are also six charming bush cottages situated on the banks of the Klein Jukskei River. These ultra-private cottages sleep a maximum of 27 guests. Enjoy your complimentary breakfast out in the lush gardens and feel like a true king or queen. It's the perfect escape from busy city life, so book yourself a stay as soon as possible!

Fabulous Food & Functions

Vineyards Beer Garden and Pizzeria is the perfect stop for a wood-fired pizza and craft beer out on the terrace. Decked out with romantic fairy lights and al fresco dining, it's the perfect spot for a date night that'll score you some major brownie points. Take your beloved to see the magnificent courtyard and wedding hall afterwards to really seal the deal.
