ROCK TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION GUIDE - KWAZULU-NATAL NORTH COAST, SOUTH
AFRICA

View
Map of Durban North Coast |
 The
name Salt Rock dates back to the heyday of the Zulu Empire when
King Shaka’s handmaidens would come down to the coast here to collect salt
to trade with the colonials based in what was then Port Natal, and is now
Durban.
Seems strange that the British hadn’t figured out for themselves how to
make salt from sea water – but that’s the story. I mean, how hard can it
be? Although Salt Rock is one of the many towns strung out along
the KZN North Coast forming an almost continuous belt of hotels and residential
developments, it is a tad more laid back than its neighbours, for example,
Ballito. |
| It’s a great
family beach destination with safe bathing, a tidal pool and a lovely shady
caravan park that’s very popular with local families. |

version of that Tuscan homestead, looms up before your eyes and surprises
you at every turn with enchanting and thoughtful aspects. Villa L'Apparita
altogether lives up to its title of being a tranquil escape that any discerning
