Catering - KZN North Coast
Ballito is KwaZulu Natal's
(KZN) premier coastal holiday town,
situated 30 minutes north of Durban in the heart of the KwaZulu
Natal North Coast.
Nestled between rippling fields of sugar cane, KwaZulu Natal's
Green Gold, this area is otherwise
known as The Dolphin Coast,
famous for the numerous Bottlenose dolphins that
frequently surf the waves along this stretch of
the KwaZulu Natal north coast.
Ballito is flanked to the east by golden beaches and
the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Ballito's friendly, village atmosphere is a welcome haven from
the fast pace of big city life, and boasts some of the
finest holiday accommodation, self catering
houses and apartments on the KZN north coast.
