North Coast Property | Kwa Zulu Natal

The North Coast in Kwazulu Natal is also known as the Dolphin Coast, which is a testament to the prolific presence of these endearing marine creatures just off the coastline.  The area is renowned for its magnificent landscape and sunny climate, which attracts holidaymakers both local and foreign all year round.  Two of the most upmarket coastal towns found in this region are Umhlanga and Ballito, with these areas expanding exponentially each year as a result of the demand for residential and holiday property by the sea.

Kwa Zulu Natal’s North Coast is Ilembe territory and marks the site where King Shaka consolidated his Zulu empire in the 19th century.  Handmaidens of the royal household used to gather salt from the tidal pools in abundance here.  Chakas Rock is just one of the many seaside villages that boasts such pools, as is Salt Rock, which are immensely popular with young families.  There is plenty of opportunity to view the marine life up close with a variety of boating companies operating at the main beaches in this coastal region.

Sporting enthusiasts will enjoy the many golf courses and other sports facilities along the North Coast, with Mount Edgecombe boasting one of South Africa’s most popular lifestyle estates.  Zimbali is another of KwaZulu Natal’s recent upmarket property developments and St Lucia is known to be one of the most affluent residential suburbs in this part of the province.  Richards Bay has developed around a fishing harbour and offers an interesting and rewarding life by the sea.  Whether you prefer a busy lifestyle or simply wish to watch the days go by, there is no better place to buy property in Natal than the North Coast.
