This guesthouse is in a suburban Cape Town location ideal for rest and comfort. You need Uber to get to central Cape Town and the usual attractions so not the best for first time visitors or those primarily interested in downtown Cape Town. But we were return visitors, having done the usual tourist attractions, so we were very pleased to relax and enjoy such a great guesthouse. We plan to return and highly recommend Wild Olive.

We were completely pleased and satisfied but, as noted, you may want to stay closer to Cape Town on a first visit.

After a 5 week holiday in SA, I’m so glad we ended here. We stayed in the garden cottage which had ample space (including a small kitchen and lounge). Perfect for our toddler. The place was clean and serviced everyday and there was so much thought put into small details; from the camping cot provided; to the baby chair; amenities; breakfast organisation; parking etc. They thought of everything and anything additional could be bought or arranged e.g. laundry, dinner or beverages. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming.

N/A I am usually very constructive in this section, but I honestly have no improvement suggestions.

It was a classy house that was artfully and practically converted into a B&B. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, even loaning us beach towels and getting up early to check us all out! Rooms are cleaned every day. The breakfasts were very tasty. There are adequate shelves and closet space; the bathrooms are convenient. The little parlor area is lovely to relax in. Everything is kept looking nice and homely, leading to a very welcoming feel.

Nothing.

I loved the location (very central, easy to get to and peaceful), the spacious size of the room/lounge as well as the bathroom. The bathroom was beautiful. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, served in a lovely sunny room overlooking the pool.

My only complaint is the lack of off-street parking. I reserved a parking spot for our car but it was being used by someone else when we returned from dinner so had to park in the street.

The breakfast offered a great variety and everything was delicious. It felt very secure and the staff was friendly and helpful. They had generators to provide limited power during load shedding.

They opened the windows to air out our room when cleaning and often we didn't get back until late so the room was cold and took a while to warm up. Luckily there were blankets to help until then.

Everything! Friendly helpful people in every position. Great public areas for sitting inside and out. Wonderful food from extensive menu. Chose because walking distance to historic Newlands Cricket Grounds(which was indeed an easy quick, safe walk. But it was convenient to all that Capetown has to offer without being in downtown. Residential setting was a positive.

The staff was amazing, from reception to support staff. Great hospitality, super accomodating. They arranged an early check in for us as we told them that we were going to be dropping the suitcases early. Breakfast was so good! I'll be coming back the next time we are in Cape Town!

I liked everything!

The breakfast was outstanding & the omelette the best we've ever had at any hotel or guest house. The room was spacious & quiet. The location was perfect as we had lots of meetings with my clients at the Kelvin Grove Club, 250m away! All the staff (Beauty, Zuzu & Tino) were outstanding & the hosts Eugene very professional & caring The pool is large & in a lovely garden setting

I loved how the staff made me feel welcome and were always making sure I was comfortable in my room in addition to being satisfied with their breakfast. I especially loved the details to the room, breakfast and how attentive the staff were with me.

Due to location away from the City Center, Uber is required to be used but it's not expensive or costly.

I liked every aspect of my stay. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, kind, and helpful. The guesthouse was kept clean and maintained very well. The breakfast which was included was superb and provided an excellent start to a full and busy day out and about.

There was only one aspect that I did not like and that was the bed. It was a little too firm for my liking, but then again that is just my preference.
