KwaZulu-Natal’s north coast, also known as the Dolphin Coast, it is a desirable strip of coastline and is often called "The Golden Mile”. A beautiful playground of warm waters, incredible waves, and glorious beaches set alongside fields of sugarcane in a part of the world blessed with humid and warm weather almost throughout the year.
One can experience the natural indigenous forests, mangrove swamps or a walk on the Ballito or Umhlanga promenades at sundown. Sunny beach days, mountain bike trails through the sugar cane fields or a few rounds of golf at one of many excellent North Coast golf courses are all part of the appeal of North Coast living. Traditionally, this coastline was a popular family holiday hotspot, celebrating a lifestyle of relaxation and tranquility, sunshine and happy holiday memories. Now residents and visitors are attracted to a friendly village atmosphere, safe gated communities and retirement estates, excellent schools and stylish shopping centres.
Whether you are intent on selling your property, are looking to relocate, invest in a second home or retire at the coast, we are able to offer you the exceptional customer service you can expect in any Engel & Völkers shop, anywhere in the world.
