Look into the past. Fantastic place.
The house is so nicely done up and anything you think you might need is available. Amenities were well laid out. We had a great time there. Would definitely like to stay longer and explore the area a bit. Our host also recommended seeing the Hennie Steyn bridge at sunset! What an experience! Thank you very much.

Hi Janine
Glad you were warm during your stay, thanks again for booking with us!
As we don't live in town on a permanent basis, we've tried to make the check-in process as seamless as possible when we are not around to meet travellers.
All our units have dishwashers and we ask our guests to load their dishes, this helps us save some time in the busy season, and helps get the cottage ready for the next travellers.
The dust is certainly an issue and that is good feedback to our team that assists us in ensuring the cottage is well kept and cleaned.
Your constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.

Overnight on the way back from the Cape.
Wild Olive is a beautiful cottage. Very well furnished. Only downside was that there were an awful lot of mosquitoes and even with the mosquito repellant cream I struggled. Would suggest mosquito plugs.

Centrally located historic house.
Accommodation is comfortable and well equipped, bedrooms are spacious with an additional toilet and sink in the room (screened off). There are an awful lot of decorative items and animal skins. The personalization of the cottage is beautiful but it felt to me like I was entering someone else's space.
