24 guests' feedbackSylvas kindly agreed that we could safely leave our vehicle on their premises while we walked the Otter. We were also able to check in earlier, which was very welcome after 4 nights of cold showers on the hiking trail. The units have everything you need - we also had a great time on the wooden deck.
Cute apartment. Everything was pretty neat and clean. The house is bitterly cold in the winter (at least there is a heater and enough blankets).
Pleasant and helpful host. Everything was comfortable and actually beyond my expectation. I would certainly come back again.
We had a great stay at Sylva's place. The service was great, only positive. We will come again!
It's a beautiful setting, wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful house with everything you need for vacation.
It was fantastic. In the forest. The deck is great and the braai area is nice. The bath was amazing with really hot water. There is a nice lounge area and a fully equipped kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay immensely.
Peaceful with all that we needed for a wonderful stay.
We had a very nice stay, but it was spoiled by the awful smell of mold in the house, despite us keeping windows open whenever possible. The bedrooms were particularly bad. I had to get up in the night to open windows for a bit so I could sleep again.
Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space. Comfortable fittings. Beautiful location.
Very comfortable for a large group, tidy and close to everything that is nice in Nature's Valley. House smells a bit wet when windows are closed.
We were there with my parents for a joint birthday weekend. It worked like a dream with the main living kitchen and deck. Next year we will definitely do it again. Lovely cool under the trees with a great variety of birds for watchers. Really a place I can recommend if you are looking for rest for the soul.
Ideal for bird watchers; typical birds of the Southern Cape forests (Afro-Montane forest) can be heard and seen right from the house and from the deck. The house is fully equipped for self-catering. We had a great barbecue on the big deck the first night. Thanks for the braai wood and fire lighters; we left our pack of lighters behind for the next guests. The next two days it rained too much, but we were able to comfortably cook in the house.
Owner was very helpful. There are gas and battery lights which make it easier with load shedding. Problem with WiFi was quickly fixed (over a long weekend). There is an apartment on the house and you feel like you are bothering the residents when you hang out on the stoep. This is surely the only aspect one could "complain" about. Residents of other apartments, however, did not find it disturbing. We see Sylvas again!
Very comfortable overnight and holiday destination. Very well equipped residential unit, we were received very kindly.
The onsite agent (Madel) was amazing! She went out of her way to assist with our queries. Unfortunately whilst there were so many great things to make our stay comfortable, the overpowering damp and moldy smell was most unpleasant. The separate cottage could not be used as a result of the damp smell. There was mildew on the furniture, hence the cleanliness rating. The accommodation and facilities were otherwise clean. A kayak or canoe would have been a pleasant facility.
The apartment is incredibly equipped with everything you can dream of. You only need to take swimming towels. Delicious ice cream and freezer. There are even Magneto lamps loaded for load shedding. The outdoor barbecue and meeting place is just too nice. There is also an outdoor shower for a sandy body. Great service from the agent and personal contact from the owner.
Walking distance to just about anywhere. Enough secure parking. Great outdoor space for entertaining.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sylvas - the property has a main house and a cottage, which is perfect for two families with two or three children. There is a lovely deck under a large tree with a barbecue - in the context of the forest and sea of Nature's Valley. Fantastic value for money, can recommend and we will definitely be back. Bring bikes, then you'll be at the beach in no time!
This was really a great getaway. Sadly we only stayed for one night. If you love nature you will love this place. Close to the sea, while you are in the forest. The host is amazing. Will definitely be back.
Well equipped with a great shower.
Our group of six had a wonderful holiday in Sylvas. The property is well suited for families with older children with the extra cottage offering additional space. Sylvas is the perfect holiday space- from the friendly welcome and excellent communication from hosts, it’s proximity to forests and the lagoon and beach, to the relaxed holiday feel of the house. We enjoyed visits from baboons, vervet monkeys and Knysna loeries and sitting on the deck at night watching the fruit bats. We would love to visit Sylvas again!
It was our wedding weekend. And it was so convenient to be able to have everyone together and still be safe because of Covid. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We were very pleasantly surprised with this accommodation! Often the reality doesn't live up to the images, but here what we saw was exactly what we got. There was more than enough space for everyone, even with having to stay inside when it rained. We were also surprised that they had EVERYTHING! Anything we looked for we found, everything was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for a nice hike in the forest!
