It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho.

When you enter the building, there's a warm welcoming atmosphere. The works of art are extremely beautiful and amazing. The sculptures are well made and makes you realize how well crafted they are. There is a coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy a meal, while taking a break. There's lots to see. You will truly enjoy your visit, just as I did. I've been to the Gallery about 4 times already.

We headed here, directly from arriving in Durban on an early Sunday morning. Interesting small town, breakfast was taken at the local new mall(safe to park) and then we drove to the fort. Very friendly welcome which then turned into a personal tour of the museum, chapel and fort, thank you. So much historic information here, the Norwegian influence, the Zulu chieftain's and of course the relationship between the British and Zulu homeland. An excellent craft/culture centre of which the lady provided so much very interesting culture with passion, a true delight. Toilet facilities, good cafe/shop and a save heaven to explore. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the small fee.
