Greyville Racecourse is a Thoroughbred Race Track in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It surrounds the Royal Durban Golf Club's Championship course, which provides a picture of green grass and foliage throughout the Year, framed in the background by the many Hotels of Durban's Golden Mile.
Greyville Racecourse made History in 1996 when it became the first track in South Africa to successfully install Floodlights, enabling the course to accommodate night racing at all its midweek meetings. Situated in the very heart of the City, it is easily accessible from all parts of Durban.
The pear-shaped track covers a distance of 2,800 m. A road from the Berea to the centre of the City passes under the course, and the construction of the two Subways resulted in the course having a number of unusual gradient features: • an uphill section from the 2,400 m mark up to 1,800 m • thereafter a gentle downward slope for about 800 metres • an uphill section follows from the 800 metres into the straight • an almost level 500 m final straight to Greyville's famed winning post.

The Stadium is a Home for Sharks Rugby team. It is also open for external hire through the Stadium's manager. 10am till 4pm, Monday to Friday 10am till 12:30 pm, Saturdays, and for all major sporting events. Kings Park Stadium is the eighth-largest Stadium in South Africa by capacity (52,000). The Stadium has also been used by the Durban Premier Soccer League Football clubs, and also for major football finals. Football has now been moved to the Moses Mabhida Stadium which was a major venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and is just 200 metres away from the Kings Park Stadium.
The Stadium was built in 1958 with an original capacity of 12,000. It was previously known as the ABSA Stadium due to sponsorship reasons and is currently known as the Growthpoint Kings Park Stadium for similar reasons.
It was renovated two times, once in the 1980s and once before the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The soccer Stadium on the other hand was the home ground of the Manning Rangers, who played in the Premier Soccer League. The Stadium had a smaller capacity than its rugby counterpart with 35,000. The Stadium has a deal running which keeps them on lease at the same stadium till 2056, and this is one of the reasons why the Sharks did not relocate after the demolition of the soccer stadium.
The Kings Park Stadium was renovated from 1993-1995 in order to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The stadium hosted three pool B games, one quarterfinal and one semifinal. The South African team, also known as the “Springboks”, beat France here at the semifinals and went on to win their first ever trophy.
In 1996, the Stadium was one of the venues for the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations. It hosted three group matches, one quarter-final and one semifinal match.

One famous controversy of this Stadium was the question of whether the club had to relocate or not after the demolition of the Kings Park Soccer Stadium.
The local Government wanted the Stadium to be demolished, but they had a 50-year lease running with the Sharks and cannot affect a demolition until 2056. The Sharks had to stay put in order to protect their Home Stadium in spite of other parties urging that the Stadium be removed from there. The Stadium precinct is now used for other promotional events such as the soccer fan park and the PUMA School of Speed!

The History of the Mount Nelson Hotel is intertwined with the early History of the Cape. The estate on which the Hotel is built was named; the Garden of van Oudtshoorn. It was granted to a Dutch Baron, Pieter van Oudtshoorn van Rheede way back in 1741 by the then Governor of the Cape. The piece of land adjoins the Company Gardens albeit separated by a road these days.
In 1890 a part of the Van Oudtshoorn garden was purchased by the Cape Land Company for its subsidiary the African Land and Hotels Limited with the purpose of building a Hotel on it. At the time there were no Hotels that met the standards of Hotels used by the wealthy in Britain, at the Cape. Sir Donald Currie the chairman of the Union Castle Shipping Line whose ships brought the wealthy visitors to the Cape had no where for his passengers to stay and so he decided to rectify the situation. The idea of building the Mount Nelson was born and at Sir Donald's insistence was designed to emulate the finest Hotels in London.
On the 6th of March 1899 nine years after the Land was purchased the Hotel opened its doors to rave reviews from the press and wealthy patrons from abroad. Round about the time of the opening of the Hotel; gold and diamonds had been discovered in South Africa and this made Cape Town an exciting destination as there were distinct business opportunities for those willing to take them. Unfortunately due to raids made by the British into the Boer Republics to get at the gold and diamonds there was a threat of war hanging over South Africa.
The Boers were not prepared to take the raids lying down so both sides were preparing for war. The new Hotel played its part in the run up to the war by hosting Boer and Brit as they tried to thrash out an agreement before war broke out. With the threat of war hanging over their heads the locals took the opportunity to entertain friends and family at the Hotel.
When hostilities began towards the end of 1899 Lords Kitchener, Buller and Roberts took up Residence in the Hotel while they discussed strategies to be applied during the War. Sir Winston Churchill who was a journalist and newspaper reporter at the time also spent time in the hotel. During the period of hostilities which continued until 1902 the Hotel played host to many officers and soldiers visiting South Africa to plan the War effort. From 1902 until 1914 peace reigned in South Africa and the Hotel continued to entertain and host wealthy visitors from Europe. Then in 1914 hostilities broke out again with the start of the First World War!

The Mount Nelson Hotel once again played host to British army officers and soldiers for the duration of the War. When the war ended in 1918 the Hotel reverted to its peace time role of entertaining wealthy visitors to Cape Town. To join in the spirit of renewal after the debilitating war the Hotel decided to change its colour scheme which had at first been a combination of pale yellow and green, then later a mix of Ocher and Oxblood Red, to pink, a colour it still bears today!

In 1925 with the planned State visit of the Prince of Wales to Cape Town it was decided to celebrate the event by Building a new Gateway and palm tree lined Driveway in the prince's honour. Both the driveway and the gate are still in use today. Peace reigned in Cape Town from 1918 to 1939 when once again the ravages of War struck the World and affected the Mount Nelson Hotel. The Hotel however survived and when the War ended in 1945, it was business as usual again! With the cessation of hostilities a mood of optimism hit Cape Town. A building boom occurred and wealthy visitors from abroad poured into the Cape as the shipping lanes were once again safe from the ravages of the German submarines. Tourism to the Cape grew in leaps and bounds and the Mount Nelson Hotel decided to modernize itself to keep pace. A number of new bedrooms were built and the hotel's dining areas were upgraded. The Mount Nelson became the first Hotel to install a heated swimming pool for its guests. Since the 1950's the Hotel has continued to upgrade itself to keep up with modern trends required by the Hotel Industry. Today the "Nellie" has in excess of 400 rooms which are divided into different categories to cater for different budget requirements. Included in the above are 10 large luxury suites which include a two bedroom penthouse suite!
To keep up with the standards required by a five star rating all rooms and suites in the Hotel are equipped with individually controlled air-conditioning units, a mini bar fridge, luxurious cotton linen and non-allergenic foam pillows, luxury bathrooms and a list of smaller items to numerous to mention here. The Hotel also boasts two heated swimming pools, a body care centre, hair salon, gymnasium, golf practice net, floodlit tennis courts, gift shops, a travel desk, a fully equipped business centre, two restaurants and a bar. Although the Mount Nelson is over a 100 years old, it has managed to keep itself up to date with modern trends and is still the first choice hotel of many overseas visitors to Cape Town.

Being a five star Hotel aimed at attracting the upper end of the market the not so wealthy do not always get an opportunity to visit the "Nellie". However there is a way of enjoying time at the Hotel by booking for one of the World famous teas offered each day. On offer are cucumber sandwiches and quiches, savoury tarts and cheeses, petit fours, iced cakes, chocolates, fruit tartlets and hot berry compote served with a pot of Earl Grey, China, Indian, Herbal or whatever tea takes your fancy. What a way to spend an afternoon! After enjoying the goodies on offer tea at Home will never be the same again!

The Mount Nelson is the old lady of Cape Town and looks forward to catering to your every need. Why not make it your hotel of choice on your next visit to the Cape.

Although it operates under the sponsorship-based name of Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, this cricket ground in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal is more commonly referred to as “Kingsmead". The 25 000-seater Stadium is within walking distance from Durban’s famous Indian Ocean coastline and is the home ground of the Sunfoil Dolphins. The ground incorporates traditional grass banks, as well as towering modern Stands.
Kingsmead has witnessed some of South African cricket’s finest moments. It staged its first Test match on 18 January 1923, a game between South Africa and England that resulted in a draw. Kingsmead has been the host venue for the annual Boxing Day Test, when the Test is held in South Africa, but from the 2013/14 season the match will be played at Super Sport Park in Centurion. Since the 1980’s, the ground has been extensively redeveloped with new stands at the Umgeni and Old Fort Road ends, but the old main grandstand remains as a reminder of past glories. The pitch is laid slightly Below Sea Level and local folklore maintains that when the tide comes in during the late afternoon, the water table rises, offering unexpected movement to seam bowlers. Many batting collapses in past matches have (jokingly) been blamed on the changes in the tide.
The Stadium is used every other year as the finishing point of the Comrades Marathon, the annual ultra-marathon between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. Because the marathon alternates directions each year, it only finishes in Durban in odd-numbered years.
Sahara Stadium Kingsmead showcases 8 Function Rooms; ideal for corporate conferences, executive board meetings, product launches, weddings, birthdays, and cocktail parties. It is also able to host outdoor events such as music concerts, festivals, and road shows.

In the heart of the Dolphin Coast lies Ballito, nestled between the sugar-cane fields of KwaZulu Natal's famous 'Green & Gold' and is flanked to the East by golden Beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
The waters off Ballito's Beach are the playground of the bottle nose dolphins, which frolic in the waters close to shore and are visible all year round. The dolphins favour this stretch of coastline because of it's relatively clear and shallow waters, allowing dolphins to swim close to shore in order to feed. Surveys of these waters suggest that they are frequented by a school of about 200 dolphins, which break up into smaller groups. Whales can also be spotted on their annual migration to Mozambique for the summer. The main swimming beach in Ballito is 'Willard Beach'. It provides safe swimming with qualified life-guards seven days a week, and is protected with shark nets. It also has a fully equipped first aid station. Willard Beach is also a popular spot for surfing and body boarding. Lifeguards and shark nets are provided at a second beach, Clarke Bay. Further South of Clarke Bay is the Ballito tidal pool which caters for the young and old. The Pools are well maintained, clean and are home to a wide variety of sea life. Moving South is Salmon Bay, which is a launch Area for watercraft. This Beach is also popular with surfers. The Ballito Inflatable Boat Clubhouse is also located here.
Ballito is home to plenty of fishing spots, which guarantee keen fishermen of at least a good bite and perhaps the catch of a lifetime. Fishing licences can be purchased at any of the local post offices. Licences for mussels, oysters and crayfish can only be obtained from; the Nature Conservation offices at 25 Stella Road, Umbilo in Durban!

The group was founded in 1993 when a number of entrepreneurs including investor, and Chief Executive Officer of the SNG Group Mr. Saantha Naidu acquired a holiday apartment building on Durban’s Golden Mile, the Coastlands Durban Hotel and Self Catering apartments. During 2007, the SNG group identified an Area in Musgrave to develop upmarket Residential Apartments, however during the construction phase it was decided to adapt this building according to the requirements of a Hotel, which then opened as a four star graded Hotel in November 2009. One year later, in November 2010 saw the launch of another four star Coastlands Hotel in Umhlanga, followed by luxury apartments in Umdloti and on Kwa-Zulu Natal’s most prestigious Zimbali Golf and lifestyle Estate.
In 2015, Coastlands Hotels and Resorts added the iconic Royal Hotel to its portfolio and is hard at work to restore this ‘old lady’ to its former glory.
