KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluː nəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN and known as "the garden province") is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.

Fabulous place to visit just off the main road just outside Howick. The owner at Dragonfire beads was totally engaging and we happily purchased many items of quality here, enjoyed the demonstration and the general chat. All of the owners/staff here were once again, tuned in to the serendipities of community spirit. Happy shopping...

When you enter the building, there's a warm welcoming atmosphere. The works of art are extremely beautiful and amazing. The sculptures are well made and makes you realize how well crafted they are. There is a coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy a meal, while taking a break. There's lots to see. You will truly enjoy your visit, just as I did. I've been to the Gallery about 4 times already.

5. Shongweni Farmers Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 172 reviews
This market oozes with stereotypical country charm. It's almost mandatory to pack up the family and dog, take a sturdy basket and arrive early. Treat yourself with breakfast and, from your vantage point on a hay bale, decide your method of attack. Peruse stalls at a leisurely place as hands-on producers passionately talk you through their wares from traditional English sausages to decadent baked goods, handcrafted organic cheeses, breads and rustic French staples like terrines and rillettes. You'll also find Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialities from baklava to falafel. If you're shopping with a conscience you can buy organic veg or a pre-installed, irrigated system to grow your own organic vegetables.

We live in a development close to Watercrest Mall and we, quite literally, find it such a comfortable & easy Mall to be at. The parking guards are skilled and polite. The shops are diverse without being overwhelming (who wants abundance when you are under 15 or over 65). Watercrest offers three grocery stores; Baby City; @Home; Le Creuset; Body Shop; Dis Chem; Mug &Beans; lovely SuperSpar Cafeteria; Food Court; Games; Bargain Books; Movie Theatre with six screens; underground parking; two Beauty Salons and a Barber Shop; Mr Price; etc. All the major banks are there with their ATM’s. Great mix of patrons. Sound e perience of shopping every time.
