About Tongaat

Tongaat lies on the North Coast, about 40 km from Durban and only 8 km from King Shaka International Airport, so it's a quick detour off the N2 if you're heading up toward Ballito or Salt Rock. The R102 gives you the slower, scenic route through the cane fields. Locals nip in from Winkelspruit or Umzinto for the day, while longer trips from places like Ngcobo show up too. Over 20 fast chargers dot the area, handy before or after the airport run. Keep an eye out for the old Tongaat Hulett sugar mill, still crushing cane grown right on the town's doorstep.
