This lovely area high above Durban, covers Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, 1000 Hills and Camperdown to just before Pietermaritzburg. Read about the area under Info-Blog.
It makes visiting Durban special as it is just 20 minutes from the beach to Kloof. In some ways this can be seen as a new must go to area, competing with the Midlands.
Choose from 4 routes visiting artist and crafter studios, the top KZN market, fabulous artisan food, suggestions for great walks and our hand picked,
recommended places to eat and stay.
Everything is easy to get to and you can easily mix and match as Kloof to Shongweni is just 10 minutes. Allow time if going to the Shongweni Market as it is popular.
