Waterfall is a small residential area 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.[2]

Geography

[edit]

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.[3][4]

Transport

[edit]

Inanda Road mainly intersects Waterfall connecting the suburb with Hillcrest to the south-west (numbered as the M33) and with Molweni to the north-east. Link Road, also numbered as the M33, connects Waterfall with Kloof to the south-east.
