{"product_id":"south-africa-kwazulu-natal-paradise-valley","title":"Paradise Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou walk through coastal forest at Paradise Valley, a hundred-hectare reserve where the Umbilo River runs under matumi and yellowwood trees. Four marked trails start at the interpretive centre — the most popular leads to a waterfall with a viewing platform and stone steps down to the pool. The waterworks trail passes the remains of an 1887 dam and filter tanks, now a national monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe picnic areas have braai facilities under the trees, and the shorter loops work for families. The reserve sits on Oxford Road in Pinetown, with parking at the gate. The entrance fee goes toward maintaining the trails and the interpretive centre, where you can check the map before setting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe waterfall trail crosses a wooden bridge and follows the river through subtropical plants to the main cascade. Swimming isn’t allowed, but the spray cools the air. The duiker trail circles past the old waterworks slipway and a pond where the machinery once stood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932241232092,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/paradise-valley-nature-preserve-pinetown-durban-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783192686","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-kwazulu-natal-paradise-valley","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
