[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much for watching 😁 please let us know where your favourite spot is in Durban North 😊 and which area you would like to see next on our channel ☀️

[@TravelTourTaste]

Australia is definitely on our to do list. Many blessings x

[@peterfrimas1539]

Conner's Public House has moved to corner of Umhlanga Rocks Drive and Ashley Avenue next door to Eastmans Spar. Really nice place to visit. Also on a Sunday lunch they have a roast which is good value for money.

[@brianjohnson1804]

just love you please do the umgeni bird park you are supersweet

[@BeingBedingfield]

@@brianjohnson1804 thanks so much Brian! We’ll do the bird park as soon as we have some time 😊🤗

[@milesbrown8016]

Lovely man..

[@wendydecent7364]

Lived in Melrose Place off Umhlanga Rocks Drive. Lovely memories . Left 2015 for Australia 🌏🦘 78years old still miss. Thanks

[@BeingBedingfield]

Must've been so nice to live there :) I'm sure you miss it!

[@tanyaberndt8345]

I grew up in Durban North, just off Mackeurtan Avenue, a stones throw from Virginia Airport. Lots of memories....there are some old lookout towers left over from the war, not far from the Durban North Police Station. We used to play there, theyre fenced off now. Lots of secret places.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aww, wish we knew about those lookout towers, sounds really cool!

[@Studentsatlaw]

Wow sounds so cool, I would love to know about those secret places 🙈I'm trying to show a friend of mine a good time in Durban North

[@harrisra4944]

O’Connor’s now next to Eastman spar Glenashley.

[@terrencelowery7524]

The rain farm on the Dolphin coast.. beautiful wide life park and wedding venue.

[@BeingBedingfield]

That’s a great suggestion! And actually not too far from where we live. Thanks Terrence, will add it to our list 👍

[@lawriestewart1366]

If you are into sport, any sport but especially Football, especially Liverpool there is no Pub/Restaurant better to watch it at but Porters. Mark Porter, the owner and his 2 very efficient Managers, Jason and Brendan really know their stuff. And the view is awesome

[@BeingBedingfield]

We definitely want to try out Porters! I would want to go for the view, and Craig for sport :)

[@ADAtrips]

Been busy. Finally saw N Durban. Was interesting. 🌴🌴Aloha

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you. Durban North is definitely a treat. Beautiful coastlines and so much to do😁

[@llewellynlombard7428]

Thanks, Guys, you brought back so many memories of Glen Ashley beach near the Aiport, When I was young I used to go fishing at that same beach where you are behind the Airport. Good old Durban North, by the way, I went to Northlands Boys Primary School in the sixties not far from where you are. Know the area very well. I am a DURBAN BOY born and bred. Living in Asia now. Thanks again for these lovely videos of my country. PS. Heard the hadidas bird sounds in your video, which brought tears to my eyes. Miss home!!!!

[@thamarvandeelen6261]

Yes, such an appealing place, the funky donuts, have you checked out that fab pink coffee machine! Awesome!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hey guys 😊 I know, even the cash register was pink 🤗💕 looove that place 🤤

[@imsuperdopetoo]

Thank you for all the local content.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you for supporting us😁

[@BeingBedingfield]

Any suggestions of areas or places you would like to see on our channel?

[@TravelInteresante]

Donuts for breakfast, why not? Though Steve would go with a creme filling over custard. Would have loved to see the bird park, oh well next time... Steve would have appreciated the Italian restaurant with a plane spotting view, he's become a bit of a plane geek as we traveled more.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Donuts for breakfast is the new trend 🤣. Any view where I can see planes and an ocean is the perfect view for me (Craig). We are definitely planning on making a full video on the bird park. It is really amazing there. Steve must check out a KZbinr named Sam Chui. He will fulfill all Steve's plane geek desires. I am also a plane geek (Craig) 🤓.

[@SarahandMarek]

Who knew there was so much to do in Durban North!? 😱 Nice video guys! Sad to hear that so many restaurants have closed down though 🙈 hope all is well in our beautiful SA 🇿🇦

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. Sometimes people only explore Durban when coming to KZN, so its just fun to show people how fun this entire coastline is😁. Its so sad to see so many restaurants and pubs closing down. This lockdown is devastating for these places😓

[@garnett140]

I agree with Sarah & Marek - who knew? 😁 I absolutely adore nature. I really need to get out more. 🤣 But thanks for your fabulous channel, Craig & Chantz, it helps me a lot.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Haha, we were just as surprised with how much there is to do in Durban North 😅

[@aatravelling7625]

Absolutely beautiful place! Thanks for the tour. Donuts look really yummy. We really enjoyed watching your video. Big Like + new friend...Have a nice weekend!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Anthony and Angie. Thank you so much for watching and the support. The donuts were amazing. Always fun to have donuts for breakfast 😋. Hope you guys have an awesome weekend too😁

[@Whatever777-t7c]

😵😵😳😳😳Wooow ...I refuse to believe this is Durban north..omg it's so underrated

[@BeingBedingfield]

😅 definitely a lot more to do than we thought 😁

[@ondecakes]

Glenashley is the best😍

[@TheAverageTourist]

Too bad you guys couldn't get to the mangroves, they would be so cool to see. I feel you on the weather, but it was still great seeing around. My husband and I were drooling over the donuts and lasagna 😋. That loud motorcycle at the end 🤣

[@BeingBedingfield]

We will definitely have to go back to explore the Mangroves. Its something we have never done. Those donuts started the day very well 😅. However the lasagna was absolutely amazing! Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend 😁

[@shamshudeengaffoor2654]

Lovely video 🙂, congrats guys! My favourite spot is the Soofie Mosque near Riverside Hotel. It's serene with beautiful architecture and open to everyone.

[@abcwildlife6423]

such a beautiful channel you have here. l love all aspects of your channel,and am happy to subscribe here.l,m evo form Australia👭👭

[@CheckerTravel]

I love this video ❤️😊

[@SorgiStories]

"We spent so much more time here than we should!" (And you show donuts next. Now to see if there's any connection between the two...) ...yup. Donuts. And we can't say no, either. (OK, more to watch...)

[@BeingBedingfield]

Haha now I see the connection 😄. Well there is nothing wrong with spending more time with donuts🤣. It is definitely a yummy breakfast 😋

[@exploreaswego]

OMG FIRST STOP IS WICKED DONUTS! HAHA. You can't go wrong with that because it all looks SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! More food once again! HAHA. Chantal just grabbed it out of Craig's hand! HAHA LET ME TRY! The Japanese garden was nice and great that it is FREE! So many places have changed here in Bali as well even just after 6 months but I guess the pandemic has forced many people to close. OOOO first place where Craig took you for a date!?? That Lasagna looked fantastic too! YUMMY! Enjoyed your whole video MAN those birds are so LOUD!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Definitely sad how the pandemic caused small businesses to shut down 😟 including some of our old favourites. Those birds (hadedas) are definitely a pain in every South African’s life 🤣🤣🤣

[@RuggedMile]

Great video guys! That lasagna looked so good! Hope all is well in South Africa! Have a great day! 👍

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you so much. The lasagna was amazing! Have a great day too😁

[@p.srussell3899]

Yabadoo...Nice one guys.😁

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you for the support 😁

[@khalilk6538]

Your videos are so dope. Really enjoyed it. keep it up the amazing videos.

[@TooMuchLuggage]

Looks like a great place to spend a day. Love the botanical gardens, we always visit them in every city we go. Hate finding places that are only open sporadically every third Saturday?

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hey hey hey happy Thursday. Great to meet you both. Just found you today and really pleased we have your videos are awesome. Fantastic footage and great editing skills too. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and catch up again real soon. Remember Spread and share the love in these difficult times.

[@Autourdumonde1]

Wow, that's an awesome video my friend.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you so much😁

[@sakurarelaxation9509]

Very Nice my friend！ Good day my friend！

[@petercollingwood522]

Would be nice to see a good visit to the Bird Park.

[@BeingBedingfield]

I think we will have to make a whole video for that. There is so much to see there. Thanks for the good idea. I think we will do that😁

[@tonyzac100]

I was born in SA but left in 1986. In 2019 I went to Durban for my for ever. Before going my friends kept saying that it’s so hot and humid. Once there I told them South Florida weather is way more humid and hot. No comparison.

[@deanhorn1597]

I use to study in broad way, it has changed so much since I was there! :) Chantal, I think you need to match craig. #whichWayTheKwayBru

[@BeingBedingfield]

Its the K Way or No Way 🤣. Chantal has a K Way, however hers is for much colder weather.

[@FarellandSheila]

Beautiful landscape guys. Great place to visit

[@lwantshangase]

Totally unrelated - but your hair colour looks really stunning Chantz x

[@BeingBedingfield]

Awww, thanks 😊 💛

[@4saudaratv371]

Hadir kakak, nyimak video.👍👍

[@Explorcation]

Glad that North Durban ended up having so much to offer, despite the less than ideal weather. Nice to see all of the great food options with views. The Japanese Gardens seemed so calming. Loved the little bamboo forest, and can't beat the price! Would love to go there for a picnic, or maybe a nap!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. You guys would love Durban North. There are also some good spots with good beer. Will have to do another video showcasing the Beer of Durban 🍺. A nap in those gardens would actually be really amazing😁

[@bigbendegen2174]

Great Video! I grew up in Durban North, living their until 2001. Remember the Riverside Hotel well, even before Hops existed. Great to see how things have changed. Would have been great to see more of the shops around the area. I believe the place where you bought doughnuts was once the Wimpy. Remember paying R2 and entering in the burger eating competition 😆 Thanks again for the video. 😀

[@MillieMoments]

Great video guys! Really helpful to anyone who wants to visit here! Those donuts looked yummy.. I'd probably go for one with jam inside :D The Japanese gardens are beautiful! Great share 😊👏💙

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Millie. Thank you so much. We hope this will help with people coming to this area. Especially with the street names we mentioned. Those are the main streets where all the festivities are😁. Hope you are having an amazing weekend 😁

[@valerienaidoo8270]

Well done guys, url really are amazing. Thank you for showing us our own province and cities and what we missing out on, always wanting to leave Durban for vacation not realizing how much we have right here lol.... By the way chantz you are to cute, continue making awesome content all the best.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Valerie, thanks so much for watching :) We know, right...if it wasn't for all the inter-provincial travel restrictions during Covid, we might've never started exploring our own province as much as we are doing now. Finding some really cool places. We even spent my birthday weekend staying in a hotel in Durban haha

[@zeishasjourney]

Loved this video guys! The donuts look so so yummy! I alway enjoy a nice walk around a garden and as you said they are FREE! You can't beat that, looks like the perfect picnic spot. The bird park looks so cool, hopefully the next time you go back for the walk on the 3rd Saturday you might get to do the bird place too. Italian!!! Good choice Even on a overcast day the beach is a good stop ☺️

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much😁. The donuts were amazing. We are always excited for beautiful free parks that you can picnic at. We are definitely going back some time with a cooler box full of food to chill for the day😁. We are actually planning to go back to the bird park and making a full video. The bird park is really amazing.

[@zeishasjourney]

@@BeingBedingfield looking forward to seeing it ☺️

[@lukereutergolf]

i miss my home town .

[@AprilChu]

Omg those donuts looked delicious! The heart shaped one was almost too cute to eat. 😂The mangrove park looked really cool. It reminds me of a place in Taiwan, which also has a boardwalk path. The lasagna you had looked really yummy as well. It's definitely sad to see how the pandemic has affected local businesses and restaurants. Hopefully everything gets better this year.

[@DjusLife]

The donuts looked so good, seemed like there were so many good options in the shop! Can't beleive the Japanese garden was free! all the ones we've been too, including several in Japan usually had a small entrance fee, so cool to have it free in Durban North, Japanese gardens are my favorite (Yevhen). Definitely a lot of changes happened to small businesses around the world, glad you were able to get a hearty warm meal at the Italian restaurant!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much for joining the premier 🙏😊 These Japanese gardens are so underrated, especially because our main attraction are beaches, so most of the time it’s nice and quiet. We would so love to go to actual Japan 😣 but yes, so many changes in the world. Hoping for healing soon!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Nice tour! Lasagna looked amazing! Just love your bloopers 🤣~Cara

[@LucasWorldTravel]

I think this happens to all of us. We literally forget to explore where we live or nearby areas. Things change and people change. Growth is inevitable. If we go just little further than we typically would a whole new world could exist just under noses. The lasagna looks great. I love a beach pretty much all the time. Safe travels!

[@BeingBedingfield]

That is so true. Sometimes you can find the most amazing views and things to do just down the road from where you live. The Pandemic has really pushed us to explore more and more of our home town. The lasagna was amazing! Thanks guys😁

[@OwenSaysGo]

Super well made video guys! Definitely check out the mangroves when you can - not sure what their rules are on drones but some fly overs would be super cool

[@laaity]

Um.... You guys should come to water crest to the matur place At the splash Thats where i live

[@LayilaFaon]

wow I really love this landscape such a beauty!

[@TheMapPinners]

Looks like a pretty town! It’s been so sad to see so many of our favorite businesses close during COVID :( So we definitely feel your pain there. Hopefully new, fun businesses will come and replace them after COVID

[@Bioruss]

The good old Riverside Hotel. Hmm the 80 and 90 at the Barn with the Blarney Brothers. This used to be my local hunting grounds on a Wednesday and Friday night. LOL. What a load of great memories. I met my now ex-wife there.

[@fordcorsair]

Top 10 things unless they are closed or have moved or have closed or you don't have time.... (P.S. Should've gone into Porters for lunch)

[@BeingBedingfield]

🙈🙈 we were definitely being too ambitious in what we thought we could fit into a day 😅 Sounds like we’ll have to go check out Porters 👍

[@fordcorsair]

@@BeingBedingfield 🤣 If you do pop into Porters, say hi to Brendan from his old Windhoek swigging English pals 👍

[@BeingBedingfield]

@@fordcorsair 👍😁

[@bkairportservices9292]

What a surprise…!!!

[@imsuperdopetoo]

I walk from my house to the beach daily.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thats amazing. Living by the coast is the best. It just sucks that the beaches are banned for now 😓

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Best way to start a day, cuppachino and donuts 😅🥰 Loved the Japanese garden, so so beautiful 😍 I didn't know there were two hops, we love the one in Ballito. But the crow bar looked cool. Your lasagna looked sooooo good 😀 👍 Durban North looks awesome, we will definitely check it out next time 😀

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. Donuts and coffee is always the best way to start the day🤣. The gardens were really amazing. I wonder if there is any connection between the two Hops. Hops in Ballito is amazing 😁. Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend😁

[@harrisra4944]
