Neighbourhood information

Zinkwazi Beach: Zinkwazi Lagoon and beach conservancy can be found just 85km North of Durban, 50 km from Ballito, 5 – 6 hours from Gauteng and 60 km from King Shaka International Airport. Known as the last undiscovered jewel of the North coast of KZN, with a subtropical lagoon and beach paradise of the fish eagle, Zinkwazi is one of the few unspoilt, idyllic, beaches left in Southern Africa. A 7km lagoon situated among the lush palms of the Zinkwazi conservancy, 180 species of bird life and endless beaches. A place to rest in peace with fishing, nature walks and a safe protected main beach. The beach is wide and one can walk for miles on end. The lagoon which runs on to the beach breaks its banks after heavy rains and joins the ocean. Close to Zululand’s wealth of splendid Game Reserves. For those who love golf, there are several excellent golf courses in easy driving distance e.g. Darnall country club and Prince’s Grant. We would love to see you soon!
