SMCRG is located in Durban (Zulu: eThekwini, from itheku meaning "bay/lagoon"), a coastal city in eastern South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province. Renowned for its African, Indian and colonial influences, it is also seen as one of the major centres of tourism because of the city's warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches.

Located on the western side of Durban, the University of KwaZulu Natal (Westville campus) is SO CENTRAL to Durban life that it makes the Area the most practical & affordable accommodation & hospitality node for your exploration of the Greater Durban Region. Sun, fun and Pleasure activities are a mere 10 - 15 minutes drive away along several excellent road networks (and 30 mins away from King Shaka International Airport). Westville is definitely a place for everyone to experience.
