Black Mamba Backpackers Lodge - Guesthouse
Hillcrest was jolted out of its former drowsy insignificance to become, almost overnight, a boom town that now serves as a suburb to Durban, where people seek a safer, less crowded country lifestyle far from the madding crowd.
It is vacant land has been given over to retirement villages, equestrian estates, gated security communities and golf estates. Hillcrest manages to retain its country village fee.
Literally on a hill on a crest someway above Durban; Hillcrest was once a little hamlet that bordered on the Valley of a Thousand Hills, surrounded by green pastures and farmland. It was a retreat away from the hub of the city, somewhere one could escape to cooler air and guaranteed peace and quiet.
