The beautiful and eco-friendly area of Mtunzini provides the perfect place for inspiration. And in Jane Wiles’s case, this has led her to produce works for her latest exhibition of paintings to be held at 10 Lala Crescent from September 26 to 28 from 09h00 to 17h00.

If you’re tempted but feel it’s a long way from Durban, why not make a weekend of it and stay in the Umlalazi Nature Reserve (340-1836) or in the Mtunzini Chalets (340-1953) which are also in the dune forest. There are also various B&B outlets, such as Karl’s Guest House (340-1724), Room with a View (340-1204 or 083 630-3300) and Siyayi Guest House (340-1165). All phone numbers under the code (035).
