Warm and personal service and very polite treatment; delicious breakfast; cosy appointed rooms; overall the guesthouse equals to 5* star hotels I have visited in many European countries (facilities of Wild Olive include the gym and pool which is not a common standard for guesthouses)
Location was a bit far from the center, maybe a shuttle service to the city twice or thrice a day would take care of this

Start the day with a refreshing dip in the pool, nestled in a lush, private garden. The atmosphere is tranquil and serene, offering a perfect escape from the busy city life. The guest house provides a warm and welcoming environment for families, with spacious and clean rooms that cater to all our needs. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, and the option to arrange meals on-site was a huge convenience for a large family like ours. Even though we had to leave before breakfast, the enticing aroma from the kitchen assured us that it would have been a delicious start to the day.
My children wanted more kid-friendly activities within the guest house.

Lovely garden and pool with outside chairs and tables and pool recliners. the room and bathroom were nicely appointed and spacious, with toiletries provided. the breakfast room was light and airy. the staff were very friendly and helpful. Secure parking was available.
The guesthouse was located near a busy road, so there was a lot of traffic noise. there was no complementary water provided.

The staff at this guest house are absolutely amazing - so warm, friendly, and charming! The owners are also lovely and make you feel right at home. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and have spacious bathrooms with lots of complimentary extras. Plus, they even provide complimentary sherry and homemade biscuits! The bar fridges are always stocked and there's an honesty bar in the lounge area. The pool and garden are always immaculate, and the breakfasts are a treat with so many extras - yoghurts, cheeses, fruits, nuts, seeds. They also offer a variety of cooked-to-order meals that are delicious. The staff is ultra-friendly and always helpful. Even if you're in a hurry, they can put together a tasty package for you quickly. The location is ideal, making it easy to access all major tourist spots. I particularly love staying here for the Cape Town Cycle Tour as it's the perfect base. The flexibility and friendliness of the staff, along with the prompt and professional management, create a great trust relationship that makes it feel like a family home. The rooms are fantastic, the breakfasts are excellent, and overall, I have no doubt that I'll be returning year after year. Everything about this guest house is perfect - it's one of the best B&Bs I've ever stayed at! The rooms are spacious and sparkling clean, and they even offered us a basket of fresh fruits and cherry liquor. The entire house is beautifully maintained, and the staff is extremely helpful. The breakfast in front of the pool area is absolutely superb!
