Anerley is a coastal village situated along the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. [2] [3] [4]

The village is a holiday resort some 111 km (69 mi) south-west of Durban and 10 km (6 mi) north-east of Port Shepstone central and is said to be named after Anerley, a district in the south-east of London. [5]

Geography

Anerley is situated along the R102 regional route between Port Shepstone and Melville and is bordered by Sunwich Port to the north and Southport to the south.

Although Anerley forms part of the greater area of Port Shepstone, it does not share the same postal code as the town (4240), instead it has its own postal code (4230) in which it shares with Prairie Park, Southport and Sunwich Port. [6]
