Durban Beach Holiday

A Durban holiday is the perfect time to unwind. Whether you like the thought of chilling by the water's edge or walking along the shore looking for seashells, a trip to Durban is hard to say no to. If you prefer to be close to the centre of town, base yourself close to Addington Beach. This stretch of coast is just 2 kilometres away. We also offer Durban packages close to Battery Beach and Dairy Beach, two other tempting options.
