In the Outer West District of Durban, Monteseel, a lovely neighbourhood, may be located above Drummond and below Inchanga. It is well-known for its panoramic vistas and attractive settings, and it is located in the Valley of a Thousand Hills. These landscapes include cliff edges, plateau tops, flatlands, and rippled slopes.
The Monteseel Conservancy in the region has taken measures to safeguard over 8.5 hectares of the KZN Sandstone Sourveld endangered grassland, Eastern Valley Bushland, and Eastern Scarp Forest.
In Monteseel, there are many options for the ideal house, from large country mansions with lush gardens to newly developed homes in a luxury residential estate. The brand-new premium sectional title estate Montview will have two 452 square metre freestanding double-storey residences with first-rate interior and exterior finishes. Each home will include a grand double-volume entry hall and two to three charming living room spaces. The property will contain 3 to 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms (2 en-suites), a study, double garages, as well as staff housing with an en-suite bathroom.

Today, Monteseel is a top spot for rock climbing, with the first routes climbed in the 1940s.
