The Latest News & Reviews from Wild Olive

Very pleasant comfortable stay

On a visit from Scotland we had a very pleasant and comfortable two-week stay at Wild Olive. The Garden Cottage was excellent with spacious bathroom, a bed so large that it required a cell phone to speak my wife and a sitting room with two comfortable arm chairs and sofa. Breakfast could not be faulted and the staff were unfailingly obliging, friendly and polite. Be assured there is no intrusive traffic noise even though it is fairly near a busy crossroads. With the exchange rate for us it cost no more than a cottage in the Highlands. Fantastic value. Although in the suburbs it is very centrally located if you do not want to be in the centre of Cape Town.

Another excellent stay

When staying in Cape Town on business, Wild Olive is my first choice when it comes to accommodation. Come to think of it, when I'm in Cape Town on holiday, it also features prominently! It's location in relation to where I work is ideal and it has easy access to a useful road infrastructure to help me get around the peninsula. Then, of course, there are the wide variety of restaurants in the area as well as a number of top quality shopping centres. Finally, it's the guest house itself and the wonderful people who take care of my needs that make it so appealing. Rooms are large and very comfortable, food is excellent and the atmosphere that pervades the guest house is warm and welcoming. Perfect for my needs.

Excellent Guest House

Wild Olive is a home away from home. The rooms are well appointed, very comfortable and electric blankets in winter is an absolute bonus. The breakfasts are cooked with care, which I really appreciated. Friendly and professional staff, honesty bar and you really feel as if you're in your own home. You can also order dinner if you give notice, which would be to your specification., The location is perfect if you want to be in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. Highly recommended.

A Special Place

When you come across two people in Life who are kind, dedicated, thoughtful, such as Maggie and Eugene, they are rare in life. - but when you come to a guest house which is run by such a couple, it is a special place, and a joy to stay at Wild Olive. Thank you to you all.
