This property known as “Tropicale” is situated in a quiet road in the suburb of Glenwood which falls under the greater area of Berea. The parameters of the property are fully fenced and secured and the property enjoys vehicular and pedestrian access from Street level.

This building presented in a traditional building brick and plaster style is developed over 3 floors with the main entrance on the ground floor.

The Berea is known as a ridge above the traditional CBD of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa on the northern side which overlooks the city centre and the Indian Ocean. Berea is also used as a collective designation for the certain suburbs in the area. It has been described as the area between the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and the Burman Bush Nature Reserve.

Some of the oldest mansions in Durban were built in this once forested area. Today, many of these have been converted into offices or made way for apartment buildings. The Berea was once the most expensive real estate area in the province but is now third to Umhlanga and Durban North.

The two main areas of the Berea are Musgrave and upper Glenwood which are separated by the N3 Western Freeway highway which leads into the city centre.

Places of interest include The Atrium, Berea Centre, Musgrave Shopping Centre, Clifton School, Durban Girls' College, Durban High School and Maris Stella, Mitchell Park, the botanical gardens and the Howard College campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

A related and linking neighbouring area designation is Overport and Essenwood.

The greater Berea area contains classical examples of large and smaller Edwardian and Victorian style homes with tin roofs and wide verandas, traditional and modern block of flats , two private Hospitals and with the State President's Durban residence in close proximity. Nearby Musgrave Road in the west, Windermere Road and the popular Florida Road in the suburb's southwest is an energetic activity consisting of shops, restaurants, pubs and bistros which are extremely complementary to a residential environment.
