Natal Midlands Property | Kwa Zulu Natal

The Natal Midlands is unquestionably one of South Africa’s truly majestic areas, particularly due to the lush vegetation and stunning landscape that can be found throughout the valley.  It is primarily farm land area that stretches from the foothills of the famous Drakensberg mountains in the west to the sunshine-kissed beaches along the North Coast.  There are rivers in abundance that traipse their way through the Midlands region on their way to meet the warm Indian Ocean, not to mention the lush indigenous forest that grows throughout.

Perhaps what this part of Kwazulu Natal is most known for is the Midlands Meander, which begins just north of Pietermaritzburg and extends from Rietvlei and Currys Post in the east to Dargle Valley and Fort Nottingham in the west.  The picturesque route is about 80kms in length and is traversed by people in their thousands year round in a bid to take part in the arts and craft delights to be found along the way.  The Midlands Meander is certainly one of Natal’s greatest developments and has grown from just 6 studios to 160 places to eat, drink, sleep, shop and play.

The quiet villages found in the Natal Midlands area offer much to explore, from interesting arts and crafts to all the wonders of nature.  The Midmar Dam is a popular haunt of watersport enthusiasts from all over KwaZulu Natal and history buffs tend to enjoy the nearby Battlefields Route, which was the centre of many clashes during the Anglo Boer War.  When it comes to property, the most popular places for investment are Nottingham Road and Howick, Ladysmith and Greytown.  Other areas of interest here include Mooi River, Estcourt, Dundee and Newcastle.  There really is no better opportunity for property investment in terms of lifestyle and location than the Natal Midlands.
