Apartment to rent
Wake up to Durban Harbour vistas from an eighth-floor glass façade on Victoria Embankment, steps to Wilson's Wharf — one-bedroom with en-suite plus separate guest WC.
There is a view that changes the way a morning feels.
And then there is this one.
The Durban Harbour. The Point Yacht Club. The Royal Natal Yacht Club. The Victoria Embankment stretching out beneath you. All of it - from the eighth floor - through a top-to-bottom glass facade that turns your lounge into the finest vantage point in the Durban CBD.
A 56 square metre one-bedroom apartment that does not feel like 56 square metres - because when your south-facing windows frame the entire working harbour and the yacht clubs below, the view extends your living space infinitely.
R6,449.75 per month gross rental.
For the professional who refuses to live somewhere ordinary.
You enter directly into the kitchen - the first room that greets you, positioned immediately to the right of the entrance. Patterned tiled floors. Built-in cupboards. Space for a fridge and a stove. A sink with a mixer tap. Walls tiled halfway up from the floor. A hole-in-the-wall breakfast nook opening into the lounge - the detail that connects the kitchen to the harbour view the moment you step inside.
The lounge is where the apartment announces itself.
Parquet floors. Spacious and south-facing. Aluminium windows. And that glass facade - top to bottom - that places the Durban Harbour, the Victoria Embankment, the Point Yacht Club, and the Royal Natal Yacht Club directly in your eyeline from the moment you sit down. Morning coffee here is not a routine. It is a ritual.
The bedroom is generous - parquet floors, built-in cupboards, east-facing aluminium windows that bring the morning light in early. And the bathroom configuration in this apartment is the detail most one-bedrooms at this price point simply cannot offer.
A separate toilet and basin outside the bedroom for guests. A fully private en-suite bathroom inside the bedroom - bathtub, basin, tiled from floor to ceiling on every wall and surface - reserved entirely for the occupant. Two separate bathroom facilities in a one-bedroom apartment. The comfort of a two-bedroom at the footprint and the price of a one.
Victoria Embankment is one of Durban`s most historically significant and visually dramatic addresses - and from the eighth floor, you inhabit it rather than simply passing through it.
Wilson`s Wharf is a stone`s throw away - Durban`s most celebrated waterfront dining and leisure destination. The Smith Street shopping precinct is close by for daily errands. The Smith Street public transport arterial puts the entire city within reach without a vehicle. The M4 South and the N3 out of the CBD are quickly accessible for those who drive. And beneath your window - the working harbour and two of Durban`s most storied yacht clubs provide a view that is never the same twice.
