Wild Olive Guest House
Staying at Wild Olive Guest House was a truly enjoyable experience. The property is beautifully designed in a modern Cape Dutch style, blending colonial charm with contemporary touches. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the ground-floor common areas have a stylish, nostalgic vibe that pays homage to South Africa's colonial past. I appreciated the convenience of drinks available in the fridge for purchase—perfect for a quick refreshment. The pricing was fair considering the quality and location. However, it was disappointing that supplies weren’t restocked when the owners were away. Breakfast was decent overall, though the Eggs Benedict could’ve been better—more flavorful and properly cooked. One major downside was the constant staff turnover, which made it hard to build rapport with any consistent point of contact. It felt like every time I needed help, I had to start from scratch. Despite this, the ambiance, location, and overall comfort make this a great choice for travelers seeking a unique and authentic stay in Cape Town. Would definitely recommend for those looking for character and charm.

From the serene atmosphere to the thoughtful touches in the design, it felt like a true retreat. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Cape Town. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience worth repeating.

Jenny and Johan made us feel right at home the moment we arrived in Cape Town. They arranged a reliable driver to pick us up from the airport, which was such a thoughtful touch. The guest house is nestled in a peaceful, tree-lined suburb, just minutes away from the University, Table Mountain hiking trails, and the beautiful Botanical Gardens—perfect for exploring nature and local culture. The rooms were spotless, well-furnished, and incredibly comfortable, with a breakfast that truly stood out—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Whenever I had a question, Jenny was always happy to help, making us feel safe and welcomed throughout our stay. There are plenty of great restaurants, cozy cafes, and shops within walking distance, and the V&A Waterfront is just a short ride away. We even met other guests during our visit, and everyone shared a warm, friendly vibe. This is an exceptional value-for-money guest house, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Parking was no issue either—plenty of street parking and secure space behind a fence. From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations.
