We had an excellent stay at Wild Olive! Tino the manager and all staff were so friendly and helpful. The place is very tidy and nice. Breakfast was awesome. Everything is personalized with so much attention to detail.

Everything good.

Great location, nothing was too much trouble for the hosts.

Peaceful and very relaxed. Central location and excellent food.

Thank you for our stay, everything was top notch, the breakfast was delicious, rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were always friendly and helpful.

A great home base for our week visit of Cape town.

I always enjoy every moment at the Wild Olive. Enough said!

Great little spot in Newlands with a lovely owener. Thank you for the hospitality and for taking care of us!

Lovely house with a wonderful pool. Location is great because of secure parking but about 15 minutes out of Cape Town.

I have stayed at the Wild Olive Guest House on a number of occasions. The standard is consistently very good with staff being pleasant to deal with. As usual the breakfast was excellent. On this occasion I encountered a problem with the TV set in Room 5 and I trust that management will sort this out.

Staff and facilities met or exceeded expectations. Breafasts were excellent.

We needed a home base and the Olive was perfect. Comfortable, quiet and a nice breakfast. CLEAN and FRIENDLY. At a moderate price. Will stay there again when we revisit Cape Town.

When I booked the cottage, garden area, beside pool, I thought this was at REAR when in fact it is at the FRONT of the main house, 20 ft from a busy road. When you sit in garden you are 20ft from lorries cars and the noise of car stereos going THUD THUD, and breathing their fumes. even at night we could hear cars racing down the road or accelerating away (it is one house away from traffic lights), Nice room but poor situation. Had to park in street for first night.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Secure parking, nice pool, good WiFi reception and very conveniently placed for the cricket ground at Newlands. We cannot really fault it.

The welcome from the Staff was excellent and that experience continued - they simply couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. Fruit, biscuits and even a small carafe of Port in the room; a breakfast that we'll struggle to beat anywhere; and additional meals (when requested) superbly cooked and served. Even a picnic (in a cool bag) was suggested by the Staff for our day in Kirstenbosch gardens, which made a wonderful day even better. If we had questions about anything - directions, the best time to visit places, etc - the Staff took time to research and provide very helpful answers. The location of Wild Olive was brilliant from our perspective, a short drive to Cape Town's V & A and easy access to the False Bay coast, and the Airport, with Kirstenbosch just minutes away. The garden was a place to relax with good seats/sunloungers, a shady Gazebo with comfortable sofas/cushions, and a good swimming pool - sadly, access was limited to early or later in the day due to the water shortage, but even the water shortage was well managed with very little inconvience. We simply can't rate the Wild Olive highly enough.

The Wild Olive Guest House is well appointed, with delicious breakfasts, comfortable rooms, lounge, and garden area. Everything about this classic, old house is welcoming. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We stayed over the holidays and the rooms had fresh stocks of homemade holiday cookies and chocolates everyday - a very nice touch. Will definitely stay here next time in the Cape.

IT was a great place, helpful staff. The rooms were a good size and well equiped. We were just overnight very pleased. A bit tricky to figure out how to get into the drive way as the area had changed and the gps muddled things up.

Great hospitable pace with excellent breakfast. Thanks
