Rave reviews of the Boardwalk shopping mall in Richards Bay leave no room for speculation: over the years Boardwalk Inkwazi has grown into the shopping capital of South Africa’s vibrant Zululand region. The well laid-out 65 000 square metres of retail space is home to over 150 boutiques, quality fashion stores and shops specialising in different products. Whatever you need for your Zululand adventure, this Richards Bay shopping mall will deliver.
The Boardwalk shopping mall is the right place to come to when you are in search of the culinary convenience of restaurants, the instant gratification of yummy fast-food chains or grocery shopping at famous South African favourites like Checkers, Pick 'n Pay or Woolworths stores, where you will find daily staples, clothing and more. It says a lot that Boardwalk Inkwazi is lovingly described as 'remaining not only a welcoming shopping destination but a comprehensive haven of retail mastery' in this beautiful corner of KwaZulu-Natal.
This shopping mall in Richards Bay serves shoppers of all kinds in Zululand and should not be confused with the similarly named Boardwalk complex on the Port Elizabeth beachfront – further south on the coast in the Eastern Cape.
