Description

Kenosis Retreat is situated on the eastern side of Pietermaritzburg with magnificent views over the city. It is only 10 kms from the CBD in rural Bishopstowe.

Conference facilities, venue for special occasions. Comfortable accommodation at reasonable rates. Retreat, Alpha and other church courses. Four cottages in tranquil surroundings sleeping up to 35 people, self-catering or meals by arrangement. Bedding and towels supplied, pets welcome. All profits go to support our Aids orphanage.

The name Kenosis is the underlying vision that determines the life of the community. Kenosisis a Greek word that means emptying, RSV, or making oneself nothing NIV. In Philippians two: Five to seven the word is used to summarize what the attitude of Jesus was towards life and others people and how this should be a model for Christian Communities. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus - who, being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

Kenosis has three general objectives, while the different projects have their specific ones. To live as a Christian Community and to accept and respect one another despite different cultures and backgrounds. To serve God by serving one another, our different churches as well as the Pietermaritzburg/Bishopstowe community in which we live.

The Kenosis Retreat centre is an income generating project in that all profits made will flow into the work with vulnerable children and children orphaned by HIV and AIDS.

Wonderful hosts
Deon Grove, South Africa
28 June 2010
Our stay at Kenosis was really a treat. Simple straight forward accommodation that was clean and tidy. Our hosts were wonderful. My boys enjoyed wandering around the property.
What a lovely place.
Lorna Meaton, South Africa
12 April 2010
We really enjoyed our stay. Graeme and Elly were very nice and very accommodating. I really like the fact that their profit goes towards helping orphaned children. The rooms were more than adequate and had a lot of character to them. We will definitely stay there again should we go back to Pietermaritzburg. Thank you for the recommendation.
