Umhlanga

The area used to be part of a coastal dune forest system many years ago and provided sanctuary to a multitude of bird and wildlife species of which many can still be found in bird, marine, and wildlife preserves in and around the area today. Probably the most famous landmark in Umhlanga, the Umhlanga Lighthouse, was completed on the 24th of November 1954. At night it beams it's light from a 25 meter vantage point as a warning to ships that venture too close to shore.

From it's humble beginnings, Umhlanga has now become one of the prime holiday destinations in the country and feature some of the best Hotels, Resorts, and Timeshare complexes to be found anywhere on the African continent. Every year millions of tourists and South African's embark on a mini exodus from all over the country to come and relax on some of the best beaches to be found anywhere and with close to 300 days of sunshine per year and with Shark nets maintained by the Sharks Board it is not surprising why. Umhlanga is also blessed in that it is close enough to the City of Durban some 20Km to the south to have access to the consumer variety and convenience of a big city, whilst still being far enough from the city to have a uniquely rustic "Village" atmosphere, far removed from the urban Rat Race. Umhlanga is dotted with numerous roadside cafe's, coffee shops, 24hour Take-Aways, Pub's, shops, convenience stores and restaurants, all within walking distance of the Umhlanga "Village" situated around the Hillcon and Granada Centers.
