18 guests' feedbackExcellent stay and friendly staff.
The cottage is modern, well equipped, very tidy and centrally located. The Nespresso machine was a bonus. Had a great stay.
The location was perfect for us. Everything we needed was there.
What a lovely place to stay. Everything you need is in this cosy little cottage. Will most definitely recommend it.
We were kindly received and The Olive Cottage exceeded our expectations, will definitely stay there again.
Fantastic stay. Incredibly neat. I have a guest house myself and am full of nonsense, but the cleanliness here is the best I have ever seen. Very nice place with very expensive finish. Slept well and had a good time.
The Olive Cottage is a very neat apartment with almost everything you need to have a wonderful holiday, and the owners were very helpful.
Just too little bedding if it is very cold.
The Olive Cottage's owners have the most beautiful hearts, I felt I was in a 5 star hotel never mind a self catering. We were there for 10 days and in that time Sam stocked us three times with a supply of 40 Nespresso capsules, toilet paper, soap powder for the washing machine, milk, soap, conditioner, hand soap, bed linen, new towels. The WIFI reception is fantastic, lights and TV and hairdryer work during loadshedding (what a blessing). It was blessing upon blessing at this 10 star place in my eyes! Thank you very much Sam, we strongly recommend your place to anyone who wants to feel like they are staying in a hotel.
So accommodating. Thank you.
The Olive Cottage is well equipped, spotlessly clean and very private. We really enjoyed our stay and I have already recommended it. We will be back!
Friendly people and excellent service. The place was particularly beautiful and very well equipped.
Olive Cottage looks like in the marketing brochures, there is no window dressing and the place is clean! The appliances, stove, washing machine, etc. are quality products and everything is in working order. I can confidently recommend Olive Cottage to travelers who want to visit the Stellenbosch area and Cape Town as it is quite centrally located and in a good area. We were very happy with our stay in The Olive Cottage and the price is reasonable.
It was just a safe, comfortable stay. With little logistics. Modern. And nice nespresso coffee!!!
It was the most enjoyable stay with Samatha. We were welcomed and our bedding was fresh. She kept asking if we were okay. Her interest in making sure we were okay. We will check out The Olive Cottage again on our next visit to the Strand. The place is ok very central not far from Strand and Gordons Bay. Thank you Samantha for everything. The amount we paid for days stay there was worth it.
Good location and value for money.
We were pleasantly surprised to find the best cottage in Somerset West. Friendly, hospitable people who serve the best and hold nothing back. We slept great and felt safe at all times, as well as having a very quiet experience.
We really enjoyed our visit.
