Pennington

A small town on the Kwazulu Natal South Coast, Pennington is named after an English family who owned a farm here in the late 19th century. Primarily a large sugarcane and dairy farming area, its proximity to the coast means that there is a wealth of holidaymakers that flock here during the holiday season. Properties for sale in Pennington include residential homes, holiday houses and apartments, as well as smallholdings and farms to buy in the outlying areas.

Sugar magnate, Sir Frank Reynolds bought part of the original farm in Pennington and developed a country home called Umdoni Park, after the mdoni trees that abound in the area. He then went on to build a seaside residence for South African prime ministers as a sign of his admiration for the former premier of the Union, General Louis Botha.
