Street and PO Box codes for central Durban and the Berea, Durban North and Umhlanga, Pinetown and the upper highway, and the south coast suburbs.

Central Durban and the Berea
Berea, Morningside, Musgrave, Glenwood, Greyville and several neighbouring suburbs all use the street code 4001, the same as the city centre. Where they have a PO Box code it is usually their own, so check the table if you are writing to a box.

Tips for Durban addresses
- Same street code, different box codes. Many Berea suburbs share 4001 for street deliveries, but their PO Box codes are not the same, so do not assume 4000.
- The upper highway uses the 3600s. Westville, Pinetown, Kloof and Hillcrest have codes starting with 36, not 40.
- Umhlanga and Umhlanga Rocks are listed with the same codes: 4319 for street addresses and 4320 for PO Boxes.
