Employee appreciation has evolved beyond flowers and gift vouchers. Today’s businesses are recognising that meaningful experiences create lasting memories, strengthen workplace culture and show genuine gratitude to the women who help organisations thrive.
This Women’s Month and Secretaries’ Day, Marmalade Mist by Chef Rev, in partnership with Unfold Durban Media, invites companies to reward their teams with a luxurious half-day corporate retreat at an exclusive guest house in Umhlanga. Hosted across six exclusive dates: 31 August to 3 September and 8 to 10 September 2026. Companies are welcome to book any of the available dates, subject to availability.
Designed for businesses looking to celebrate their female employees memorably, each elegant retreat welcomes a limited number of guests, creating an intimate and personalised experience that encourages relaxation, creativity and connection.
From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed into the beautiful Tea & Tonic Garden and Fresh Juice Bar, where botanical refreshments set the tone for an afternoon dedicated entirely to wellbeing and appreciation.
The experience includes a Mini Country Bouquet Workshop, where guests create their own floral arrangement, followed by a Signature Perfume Blending Experience, allowing each attendee to craft a fragrance to take home as a lasting reminder of the day.
No Marmalade Mist experience would be complete without exceptional food. Chef Rev has curated a Mediterranean-inspired VIP lunch featuring Italian Herb Chicken, Creamy Lemon Butter & Thyme Chicken, fragrant Jasmine Butter Rice, slow-roasted Mediterranean vegetables and rich Macaroni & Cheese. Guests will finish their meal with a decadent homemade tiramisu made with fresh cream.
One of the most meaningful moments of the retreat is “A Letter to My Future Self,” hosted by Sherin Warren. This guided reflection invites each guest to pause, celebrate how far they’ve come and write a heartfelt letter to themselves,a keepsake many describe as the highlight of the day.
The afternoon concludes with relaxed conversation in the Tea & Tonic Garden before guests leave with a thoughtfully curated luxury goodie bag.
