Property in Port Edward, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

Bordered on the south by the large Mthamvuma River-Zulu for “the reaper of mouthfuls” – Port Edward marks the southernmost extremity of the South Coast and boasts several interesting tourist attraction, including golden beaches, some of the best fishing spots, coffee estates such as the well known Beaver Creek, a number of excellent restaurants that just exude the local hospitality, arts and crafts shops and of course the Wild Coast Sun Casino.

The town was initially known as ‘Kennington’ after T. ‘Ken’ Pringle, one of its early residents. The settlement was in later times renamed Port Edward in honour of the then Prince of Wales. A long-established coffee growing region, the first plantings in and around Port Edward took place in 1866 and continue to this day.
