Umtentweni
Umtentweni is a small coastal resort on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, between the Mzimkulu River (the great home of all rivers) and the Mtentweni River (named after a species of grass the grows on its banks). It forms part of the coastal town of Port Shepstone in the Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality (part of the Ugu District Municipality), KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is a relatively clean and quiet residential resort; it has become an attractive destination for people aiming to get away from city life. Most of the village is filled with complexes, flats, bed and breakfasts and suburban-style houses. Twenty years ago the whole of Umtentweni consisted of a lot of greenery and wildlife. All this has changed due to the growing popularity of this small resort and the constant clearing for new housing. The Port Shepstone Country Club is also located in Umtentweni on the banks of the Mzimkhulu River. There is also a public beach, a whale deck and a tennis club. Geography
Umtentweni is located on elevated land overlooking the Indian Ocean, densely covered by subtropical vegetation that stretches the entirety of the Hibiscus Coast. It is situated between the Mtentweni River to the north, beyond which lies Sea Park and the Mzimkhulu River, beyond which lies Port Shepstone. Transport
The N2 bypasses Umtentweni to the west as a toll freeway, heading from Marburg north towards Durban. There is are two ramp toll plazas located on the northbound on and off-ramps at the Umtentweni Interchange. The R102 is the original N2, and served the same function before the construction of the highway. It is the main north–south route through Umtentweni, connecting it with the Port Shepstone CBD to the south and with Melville to the north. Rethman Drive is a small road connecting Umtentweni to St Faith’s in the rural hinterland. References
