I have been fortunate enough to call Staion Drive my "second home" for over two years already. The changes and community development have been a wonderful thing to be part of and to witness. Recently, Cheapflights chatted to a few local bloggers, including Ask Ashe and I about our favourite things to do in Durban, besides lying on the beach, working within Station Drive was a clear winner. I always suggest it as a must-visit for friends making their way to our city.
“It’s a vibrant, colourful area brought to life by a community of creatives working together to shape an experience that truly showcases a unique side of Durban as a city.”
The
Station Drive Precinct is fast becoming one of Durban’s most interesting and
inspired destinations for locals and tourists alike. With gentrification being
the buzz word the globe over, it offers a prime example of the city working in
unison with creatives and independent brands.
From
the Morning Trade Food Market through to “First Thursdays” the taste of Durban
is served in an authentic, yet truly delicious way. Fashion, food and vintage
treasures can be found in amongst creatives hard at work. Offices and
interesting shops are spread around the precinct in working pods such as The Loading Bay or The Station, developed to serve and assist small business growth
within the area.
How lucky we are to have such a creative hub within the heart of our city. It makes me so happy to go to work there each day!
