Booking

Scottburgh lies on the KZN South Coast of South Africa, about 50km south of Durban. During 1860, Scottburgh was the first town to be laid out south of Durban and was named after Sir John Scott, the Lieutenant-Governor of Natal. At the turn of the century, the shallow bay was home to a fleet of fishing vessels and was, for a time a promising harbour. The bay was named Davenport and although it was used by a few shallow-draught coasters, the railway line to Durban was eventually a more practical option Today, Scottburgh is a thriving coastal resort. Drawn by the year-round temperate sub-tropical climate and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, visitors flock to escape the cooler hinterland to enjoy the town's natural and cultural attractions.
