WHATʼS ON IN DURBAN20

What’s Happening

Head west, where the breathtaking scenery of the VALLEY OF 1000 HILLS tourism route (031 777 1874) is the setting of many an adventure activity. There are also unique arts and crafts, fine restaurants, pubs and country hotels, with highlights including the magnificent Krantzkloof Gorge, Zulu culture villages, a children’s animal farms, game viewing, hiking, mountain climbing and horse trails. Take a trip back in time on the 1000 Hills Choo-Choo (082 353 6003), a vintage steam-train that runs along the old main line between 1877 and 1880.

STABLES WINE Venture inland to KwaZulu-Natal’s only wine estate. Established in 2004 just outside Nottingham Road in the Midlands, the Stables is open every day for lunches, sales and tastings of their award-winning wines including pinotage, shiraz, Ezintabeni blend, sauvignon blanc and KZN’s first ever sparkling wine – Balgowan bubbly. (033 266 6781)

This beautifully situated MARIANNHILL MONASTERY near Pinetown was established in 1882 as a Catholic Mission. In addition to its legacy of resistance against apartheid, the monastery has a school which educated many leaders of the struggle. Today the Jabulani Self-Help Centre here helps in developing the surroundings community while an art gallery displays the work of local artists. Famed for its fresh organic produce, including milk, cheese and yogurt, the monastery also has an outdoor tea garden serving delicious meals in the most restful settings. (031 700 2704/4288)
