Waterfall, KwaZulu-Natal

Waterfall is a small town that lies north-east of Hillcrest in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Although Waterfall is officially regarded as a separate suburb from Hillcrest, it is often locally regarded as something of an extension of Hillcrest.

Geography

Waterfall is situated in the Upper Highway Area of Durban, approximately 33 kilometres (20 mi) north-west of the city and is bordered by Hillcrest to the south-west, Kloof to the south-east and KwaNgcolosi and KwaNqetho to the north.

The main area of Waterfall consists of Waterfall proper and the smaller semi-rural suburbs of Berrel, Crestholme and Crestview which are largely made up of small holdings.

Retail

Waterfall contains two shopping centres:

• Watercrest Mall is the largest shopping centre in the suburb, situated on Inanda Road. The regional shopping centre hosts over 130 stores, anchored by Checkers, Superspar, Woolworths, Clicks and Dis-Chem.
• Link Hills Lifestyle Centre is a convenience shopping centre located opposite Watercrest Mall on the corner of Inanda and Link Roads. The centre is anchored by Oxford Freshmarket, Mica and a Ford dealership.
