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.
