We had a great stay here for three nights. It's only a short two minute drive to the beach and boardwalk, lighthouse. It was easy to jump on highway and drive to Durban and Ushaka Marine World, botanical gardens (a 20 minute drive). Jill and Chris were fantastic and breakfast was delicious and prompt every morning, which was great for... More

In a very lovely surrounding not far from town with nice ocean view we enjoyed 2 lovely nights with Jill and Chris. A rich breakfast table (with no open wishes!) and a peaceful garden with a refreshing pool made our stay most comfortable. Just to find the little paradise you need a good GPS in your car...

Finding ourselves in kwaZulu-Natal for the first time, we had booked into the Sylvan Grove Guesthouse. Following a recommendation of my daughter, who had stayed there previously with her husband. We were given a very friendly welcome by the owners and allocated one of their 'fluffy' rooms. The room was well equipped with every conceivable item the traveller might require.... More

The travel agency had recommended Sylvan Grove for our stay in Umhlanga Rocks. They couldn't had made a beter suggestion. It was fantastic. We stayed for 6 days and had two rooms (5 + 6). A warm welcome and a lovely location (quiet area). We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was great, the afternoon swims were cooling and the... More

I must say, from the time we arrived to the time we left, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slyvan Grove BnB. I was a bit concerned that I was not going to find decent accomodation for the holidays seeing that I only looked for accomodation in December, but one phone call to Jill and all my concerns were gone....

We arrived a bit jetlagged after flying from Australia via Singapore and Johannesburg. We were immediately welcomed for our 6 day stay and made to feel at home. We were assigned suite No.1 with the kitchenette as we had requested. The standard of the suite was very high and beyond our expectations for the price range. The breakfasts were more... More

Arrived by car in heavy rain and pressed the button for access through the security gate. No answer. Pressed again. No answer. Waited. Used the car horn. Waited. Then the gate slid open. Staff bearing umbrellas eventually arrived but by then we were unloading the car. Our family suite was spacious and well appointed and faced the garden/pool area and... More

A comfortable, quiet and homely place with good service and hospitality from the owners. Bring a car. It is far out in the suburbs of Umhlangha, inland from the beach, and is a long way from Durban city centre (not the 10 minutes on the website, allow an hour). For a business visitor, the WiFi is eye-wateringly expensive, which on... More
