The pastoral communities of Botha's Hill, Alverstone, Summerveld, and Shongweni, as well as Assagay itself, are generally referred to as "country living." The area provides picture-perfect scenery, charming boutiques, and outdoor activities at every turn. A getaway from the bustle of the city may be found at Assagay. However, because of its closeness to Hillcrest and significant freeways, it is still close to amenities. There are several gorgeous properties in Assagay, ranging from smallholdings to farmhouses, freestanding villas, and guarded estates.
A brief history of the area
A spear or javelin known as an assagay, most frequently spelt "assegai" or "assagai," was originally employed by the amaZulu. After arriving in the region in 1839, the Voortrekkers gave the early farms in their Natalia Republic (Natal) names. The name of the local farm, Assagay Kraal, served as the inspiration for the name of the village of Assagay. The property pieces that make up the nearby Alverstone neighbourhood are still a part of the farm Assagay Kraal No 853.
