In the heart of Empangeni`s business district, yet off a quiet side avenue, lies the Protea Hotel Empangeni. Empangeni is ideally situated in the middle of the Zululand Coastal stretch, halfway between Durban and Swaziland. It is the starting point for exploring the attractions of Zululand - from the wetlands, game reserves and cultural villages to the wilderness and beaches.

The hotel has many sporting facilities within a 2km radius. The formal garden is a big attraction as the gazebo doubles as a church and, once draped, is quite romantic with the khoi pond and the stunning garden in the background.
