Salt Rock Property | North Coast

Salt Rock is a delightful seaside village tucked away on Kwa Zulu Natal’s North Coast about half an hour from Durban.  The area is well known for its appeal as a family holiday destination and houses a number of safe beaches and tidal pools.  Its name has a historical connotation in that it refers to a time when King Shaka’s handmaidens used to collect salt from the rock pools and use this in the royal household or to barter for other goods.

Salt Rock’s proximity to the more commercialized area of Ballito means that residents and visitors have the opportunity to venture beyond its borders in search of more exciting entertainment if need be.  The nearby area on the Dolphin Coast is home to a variety of restaurants, shopping centres and several golf courses.  There is an interesting sand bank just near the main beach that offers a glassy left and right peak that breaks on both rock and sand, which is best in the early hours of the day.

There is also an animal farm located in this part of the North Coast that provides endless entertainment for families with young children and offers a real farmyard experience.  Children can ride in carts drawn by Fresians, Welsh ponies and other carthorses.  If that doesn’t tickle their fancy then there’s always a tractor ride or a chance to feed the chickens, milk a cow or play with the rabbits, pigs, goats and sheep.  Parents can take advantage of the tea garden for a little rest and relaxation.  With a combination of sun, sand, sea and entertainment, it’s no wonder that Salt Rock is so popular when it comes to KwaZulu Natal property.
