Is a holiday rental in Durban worth it?
A holiday apartment in Durban offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Dreamy beaches and experience Durban like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Durban is the third largest city in South Africa with over 3.7 million inhabitants and is located on the subtropical east coast by the Indian Ocean. The port city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal is a fascinating mix of Zulu culture, Indian heritage, and British colonial history — Durban is home to the largest Indian population outside of India.
The Golden Mile is Durban's famous beachfront promenade: 6 kilometers of golden sand, subtropical warm water, surfers, and a lively boardwalk with restaurants and entertainment. Sharks are kept at bay by shark nets, allowing for safe swimming year-round. uShaka Marine World at the southern end is one of the largest aquarium parks in Africa.
The Victoria Street Market (now Warwick Junction Market) is the vibrant heart of the Indian community: spices, fabrics, traditional medicine (Muti), and freshly prepared Bunny Chow — a hollowed-out bread filled with curry, invented in Durban and now the unofficial national dish of the city.
The Valley of a Thousand Hills offers spectacular scenery and insight into traditional Zulu culture: village visits, dance and drum performances, and handcrafted beadwork. The Drakensberg Mountains, South Africa's highest mountain range and a UNESCO World Heritage site, are accessible for day trips or multi-day hikes from Durban.
Durban's climate is mild to warm year-round: even in the South African winter (June-August), temperatures rarely drop below 15 °C.
