Nestled in the heart of the Garden Route, George, amongst some of the world’s finest scenery. Break away to enjoy a time of physical, emotional and spiritual recreation.
It will be our privilege as a Christian community to welcome you to Carmel Coastal Retreat.

If you are looking for a break away from the busyness of life and the opportunity to rest and restore within our quiet places and magnificent views, then Carmel is the place for you.
Additionally the School Holidays are an incredible time for kids of all ages and parents to come together for fun and daily activities run by the Carmel Team.
Our Ministry Programmes bring together individuals, couples, & groups into a temporary community where we offer spiritual enrichment, growth, and rediscovery through co-ordinated ministry.
Programmes offer an opportunity to connect with others in the same situation, and to support and encourage one another as God enables.
