There is a moment that happens every morning in this apartment that most Durban residents will never experience.
The sun rises over the Indian Ocean. It crosses the harbour entrance. It passes the Point Yacht Club and the Royal Natal Yacht Club. And it arrives - first - through the east-facing glass facade of your lounge and bedroom before it touches almost anywhere else in the city.
This is what it means to live on Victoria Embankment.
A fully appointed one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of Maritime Court at 139 Margaret Mncadi Avenue. East-facing throughout. Parquet floors in the lounge and bedroom. A top-to-bottom glass facade that places the marina, the harbour entrance, and two of Durbans most storied yacht clubs directly in your sightline from the moment you wake up.
R6 500 per month gross rental. Available immediately.
Step into the kitchen - tiled floors, tiled walls, built-in cupboards, and a sink with a mixer tap. A wood-trimmed hole-in-the-wall opens directly into the lounge, connecting the two spaces with an architectural detail that is both functional and considered. The kitchen is compact, well-appointed, and entirely practical.
The lounge is where the apartment reveals its true character.
Parquet floors. A spacious open layout. And that glass facade - floor to ceiling - facing east across the marina and the harbour entrance. The Point Yacht Club to the left. The Royal Natal Yacht Club to the right. The harbour entrance between them. All of it framed by aluminium windows that flood the space with the first light of every morning before the rest of the city has stirred.
The bedroom faces east as well. Parquet floors. Built-in cupboards. Aluminium windows with the same harbour and Victoria Embankment views that make waking up here feel like a daily gift rather than a routine. The en-suite bathroom leads directly off the bedroom - bathtub, basin, tiled from floor to ceiling on every wall and surface. A separate toilet with its own basin sits independently - the dual bathroom configuration that gives this one-bedroom apartment the privacy and practicality of a two-bedroom layout.
Aluminium windows throughout. East-facing orientation throughout. First light throughout.
Victoria Embankment places you at the precise intersection of Durbans working harbour and its cultural waterfront life.
Wilsons Wharf is steps away - Durbans most celebrated waterfront dining and leisure destination. 9th Avenue Restaurant and Roma Revolving Restaurant are close by for evenings out. The Smith Street shopping district and public transport arterial serve daily needs without requiring a commute. The M4 Southbound is directly accessible. The Durban Harbour and Point Waterfront are your immediate neighbours.
