Private cottage with breathtaking nature view, 5 stars. Very beautiful, peaceful environment to recharge the soul. Definitely a place to go back to again.

Private cottage met asemrowende natuur uitsig, 5 sterre. Baie mooi, rustige omgewing om weer die siel by te vul. Seker weer 'n plek om na toe terug te gaan.

The view was breathtaking and we really enjoyed the splash pool. Olivia's Secret is idyllic. Come back for sure.

Die uitsig was asemrowend en ons het die splashpool baie geniet. Olivia's Secret is idillies. Kom vir seker terug.

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing. It was an absolutely beautiful stay, definitely one to return to in the future! Peaceful, private setting in a beautiful cottage. Also helped us out when our car's battery had died, which just adds to the wonderful experience!

A little patch of heaven! We stayed at Olivia's for two nights, en route to the Kruger. This is a gem, nestled in the heart of the Magoebaskloof. There is a stretch of dirt road to the cabin but we were able to climb it out easily with our Rav, pulling a Town & Country trailer (rooftop tent and all). The unit itself offers more than enough and is decorated beautifully. You are welcomed with a huge pot of garden-picked flowers and massive wood frame windows, offering a sense of indoor outdoor living. It's tranquil and neat with a vast variety of fauna & flora around the unit! Thank you for making this an effortless and unique experience. Be sure to see us again!

Rest and peace for the soul, definitely worth it! Olivia's Secret is a fantastic accommodation option. It's very nearly a 10 out of 10. Will definitely visit again and recommend. As for the accommodation itself, the place is in a very good location, rest for the soul. The unit has everything that is needed, but the bed is not up to standard for guest accommodation. We enjoyed the nature and the road to get there did not bother me personally, but I do think it would be good to inform guests in advance of the dirt road and condition which is not everyone's idea of fun.

Rus en vrede vir die siel, beslis die moeite werd! Olivia's Secret is 'n fantastiese verblyf opsie. Dit is baie amper 'n 10 uit 10. Sal dit beslis weer besoek en aanbeveel. Wat die verblyf self betref, is die plek op 'n baie goeie ligging, rus vir die siel. Die eenheid beskik oor alles wat nodig is, maar die bed is wel nie op standaard vir gaste verblyf nie. Ons het die natuur geniet en die pad daarheen het nie persoonlik gepla nie, maar ek dink wel dit sal goed wees om gaste vooraf in te lig van die grondpad en toestand wat nie in almal se idee van pret val nie .

Fairytale beautiful. We had a very nice stay at the unit. The unit is very private in the forest of Magoebaskloof. The unit is accessible with a small 2x4, even in light rain, but it is a two lane dirt road with a steep slope on one side, so drive carefully. The unit was very tidy and well equipped with dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave and fridge. There are also braai facilities. The area also has samango monkeys that visited the trees near the unit some mornings, and we saw a tree snake on one of the walking paths.

Sprokiesmooi. Ons het baie lekker gebly by die eenheid. Die eenheid is baie privaat in die bos van Magoebaskloof. Die eenheid is bekombaar met 'n klein 2x4, selfs in ligte reën weer, maar dit is 'n twee spoor grondpad met 'n steil helling aan een kant, so ry versigtig. Die eenheid was baie netjies en is goed toegerus met skottelgoedmasjien, stoof, oond, mikrogolfoond en yskas. Daar is ook braaigeriewe. Die area het ook samango ape wat party oggende in die bome naby die eenheid kom kuier het, en ons het 'n boomslang op een van die stap paadjies gesien.

I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay, but sorry you found the road a bit of a challenge.

Ek is bly dat jy jou verblyf geniet het, maar jammer jy het die pad 'n bietjie van 'n uitdaging gevind.

Beautiful place but stay dampened by the bad dirt road. It's a beautiful, quiet, cozy place. However, I found my stay to be very unpleasant because of the drive up on the bad dirt road. I called the host before finalising the booking to ask, as I've read the reviews stating you need a 4x4. Instead, the host told me that I would be fine with a normal car, which is not true. The road leading to the cottage is bad, especially after the A47-2 marking on the road. So, unless you're seeking a 4x4 adventure, stay away from this place. You end up not enjoying the beautiful scenery and tranquility because you are annoyed from the drive up on the bad road. Also, turning into the dirt road from the main road is a bit unsafe because of the position right after a sharp curve. A traffic mirror installed could ease the stress for travellers getting onto the road.

Hi Hloni I'm sorry you struggled with the road - our website clearly states you need a normal sedan to get to Olivia's Secret, and you had a beautiful very low profile tyre Porsche, which is not suitable for a dirt road. We do have a traffic mirror at the main road. Please consider coming again with another vehicle.

Hallo Hloni Ek is jammer dat jy met die pad gesukkel het - ons webwerf sê duidelik dat jy 'n gewone sedan nodig het om by Olivia's Secret te kom, en jy het 'n pragtige baie lae profiel band Porsche gehad, wat nie geskik is vir 'n grondpad nie. Ons het wel 'n verkeersspieël by die hoofpad. Oorweeg asseblief om weer met 'n ander voertuig te kom.

Quiet and private. Soul food Olivia's Secret is well located, ideal for a few days getaway. Accommodation is tasteful, clean and very comfortable. Private, with own 'splash pool' for hot days. One can spend all the time at the cottage or follow the various hiking trails and explore the scenery. I suspect Olivia's 'secret' won't stay a secret for long.

Rustig en privaat. Sielskos. Olivia's Secret is goed geleë, ideaal vir 'n paar dae wegbreek. Akkommodasie is smaakvol, skoon en baie gerieflik. Privaat, met eie 'splash pool' vir warm dae. Mens kan heeltyd by die kothuis deurbring of die verskeie staproetes volg en natuurskoon verken. Ek vermoed Olivia se 'secret' gaan nie lank 'n geheim bly nie.
