Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
Warner Beach is situated approximately 30 kms south of the city of Durban in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The town has a village atmosphere with plenty of restaurants and pre-loved furniture shops. My house is two streets back from the beachfront and has beautiful sea views as well as a lovely swimming pool set in a relaxing garden environment. It is a two minute walk to a safe, life guarded and shark net protected, swimming beach. All shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. For those who are keen, my husband and I love surfing and will introduce students to this wonderful sport. Additionally, if you choose, Tala Game Park is less than an hour's drive, and there you will be sure to see an abundant variety of game such as giraffe, zebra, hippo and rhino as well as a great variety of birds.
