South Africa is one of
the most geographically varied countries of the African
continent, comprising territory that ranges from the rolling,
fertile plains of the highveld and the wide open savanna
of the Eastern Transvaal to the Kalahari desert and the
peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains.
Durban Metro is where the proud Zulu nation meets East and West...a wealth
of influences to entertain and enthrall with traditional warrior dancers,
mystic fire-walkers and colonial heritage. Sample the unique vibrancy of
township life, the finest curries outside India and a calendar filled with
thrilling, spectacular events. Blessed with balmy weather all year round,
making it a perfect holiday paradise. The beachfront is bordered by five
star hotels and luxury apartments, all of which have an idyllic view of the
Indian Ocean.
The Central Business District, a hive of activity, is within easy reach of
all hotels and convention venues. If however, you wish to travel further
afield, there is a very competent public transport system running throughout
Durban, as well as an abundance of taxis.
Durban is a major gateway to Africa and is also the largest and busiest port
city on the continent. Due to this, there is an extensive road network leading
to and from any destination in South Africa. Durban International Airport,
is only a 10 minute drive from the City and is serviced daily by domestic
flights, as well as international flights.
Simbithi Eco-Estate lies 30 minutes north of South Africa's third largest
city, Durban, on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. It's a tranquil hideaway nestled
between the coastal towns of Ballito and Salt Rock. It is accessed via a
network of existing roads with the N2 linking Simbithi to the Gateway New
Town Centre and La Lucia Office Park developments (15 minutes), Durban (30
minutes) and Durban International Airport (40 minutes). A new international
airport is currently being planned for La Mercy, 10 minutes away from the
site.
Simbithi Eco-Estate will eventually comprise a total of approximately 1000
units, in Phase 1, made up of clusters of villages linked by a network of
internal roads. Special care has been taken to ensure the distance between
villages accommodates the free movement of game throughout the estate. Community
facilities include a clubhouse with swimming pool, tennis courts and restaurant,
whilst children are accommodated in an adventure playground and open green
areas for free sporting activities.
