Things
to do in Westville
Westville was a farming area
up until the early 1920’s and the charm and natural beauty
of this rural atmosphere remains to this day. In 1848 Jonas Bergtheil
chartered a ship and brought out a group of German farmers and their
families who settled approximately 12kms inland from Durban. The
area was named Westville in honour of Martin West, the first Lieutenant-Governor
of Natal.
The lush, leafy suburbs of
modern day Westville with its elegant homes set in picturesque gardens,
combined with an ideal climate, makes it a much sought after residential
area.
