Comfortable Guest House in Newlands

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.

A perfect location for our stay in Cape Town!

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.

Nice accommodation very poor situation next toroad

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.

Superbly comfortable Guest House in great location

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.

Lovely guesthouse with great access to Cape

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.

Excellent staff, brilliant breakfast, quiet garden

Most warm welcome and the staff were absolutely second to none with nothing being too much trouble. Breakfast choice and service was excellent in a room which pleasantly opened right out to the peaceful garden with pool. The garden and pool area were immaculately maintained and a variety of comfortable seating was available. Free wi-fi was available throughout the property, inclusive of the garden. This was a perfect guest house for the thirteen night stay we required for our voluntary work, but we would have preferred to upgrade to a room within the main house had this been available. There is a cottage alongside the pool in the garden, which seemed to really appeal to small families with young children.

Wonderful Experience

We were given an upgrade to the pool room which was lovely. We ordered dinner there for two nights and was a great value. Food was delicious and fresh. Staff was helpful in booking excursions and breakfast was prepared early on day of departure. They went above and beyond to make our staff a pleasure. Next time we are in Cape Town, we will stay there.

We had very quick but nice stay here - the manager was very friendly and showed us the place as we arrived. We stayed here on our way to the airport (it's only 20 mins away), and we were very close to a nice pizza place for the night. They gave us a nice gift as well as we were were on our honeymoon, which was pretty good given the price

Loved my stay at this guesthouse!!

I stayed at Wild Olive for 6 nights and I can't say enough about this guest house! The staff was very nice and accommodating. Both the room I had as well as the house as a whole were pristine clean. The breakfast was amazing and included in the price of your stay. It was continental breakfast style (yogurt, cereal, delicious homemade muffins, fresh fruit, etc.) with the option to order from a small breakfast menu (omelette, porridge, etc.) at no extra cost. The location was great for me since I wanted to stay between Simon's Town and Cape Town. The extra room amenities that were my favorite were the homemade biscuits (small cookies) included on your coffee tray and replenished every day and the heated blanket on the bed as I visited in winter.

Pretty good.

Everything was pretty good, staff were all very friendly, breakfast was also very tasty.

If I had to pick something that could be improved;
I found the room quite cold though, it's a standard drafty not well insulated South African style building.
Water pressure for the shower could have been a little stronger.

Great stay

We stayed for one week with our two daughters, 11 and 13.
Our girls loved the pool and we all enjoyed the lovely freshly cooked breakfasts.
The rooms were pleasant and well equiped, with the added convenience of free Wifi.

For us the location was perfect: 15-20 mins by car from many things like Tablemountain, airport, V&A waterfront etc.

Although next to a busy (daytime) road, we found it nice and quiet in the garden after 19:00 or so.

In short: excellent place for daytripping in and around Kaapstad.

Four nights at the Wild Olive

My room was a little old-fashioned (wardrobe, not closet, wicker headboard and side tables) but quite comfortable. Instead of a chocolate at bedtime there was a carafe with a serving of sherry. The room was high-ceilinged and quiet. The hotel was able to supply the plug adapter I needed. The breakfast was everything that might reasonably be asked for. Good Internet service at no extra cost.

Great place to stay

Despite the excellent reviews I was still pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Wild Olive. It's a great place to stay and great value. Also, pleasant location (unless you want to be near the CBD) in which case it is a 15 minute cab ride. The room I stayed in was like a that of a boutique hotel and the bed was really comfortable.

The staff were very helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was very good. I stayed in one of the rooms at the back of the property so was very quiet. Those rooms at the front may experience a bit more road noise, although it wouldn't be that busy outside of rush hour.

Don't hesitate to stay here.
