A great overnight stopover on the long Johannesburg to Cape Town

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Aug 2016
My husband and I did an overnight in June 2016 . Enjoyed walking around the farm before a warming drink followed by a well presented and delicious 3 course dinner. Menu suited us but do not remember being given a choice of main course which could have been problematic for some.Room was cosy and slept soundly.Set off early with the sunrise in our rear mirror, across the Karoo. Will definitely stay again.
Date of stay: June 2016
Room Tip: All the farm rooms faced out towards the Olive trees.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Beautiful setting on working olive farm. Comfortable, clean room with all necessary conveniences, microwave, kettle, etc. The olive bath products in the bathrooms were a nice touch and a good way to test some of the products before buying, unfortunately we left early in the morning before the shop opened or I would definitely have bought some. Quiet and peaceful. Not far from the N1, and although we weren't expecting the very long driveway to the homestead, the avenue of date palms made it worthwhile. Would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing time at Olive Grove Guest Farm, they had everything we needed and the Chalets were picture perfect. Because it is freezing cold in the winter, I would recommend may be an extra blanket for the sleeper couch.
Will definitely recommend this accommodation to friends and family.

What a way to break a long journey! We enjoyed warm hospitality, great food and a tranquil environment. We stayed in a suite which had all the amenities we required and we slept soundly and warmly on a cold Karoo night! The dinner was a feast of Karoo lamb which I would highly recommend. A wholesome farmhouse breakfast got us going the next morning. We were surrounded by tranquil olive groves with horses quietly grazing in the early morning dew. JP ensured that we had a good stay, enough to ensure that we will be back1

Our one night stay was a very pleasant experience in the middle of the clear-sky and star-lit Karoo! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. JP and Dawina went out of their way to make us feel at home! The olive based products we purchased are of good quality and will be used when we get home!
We will come again!

First time at Olive Grove, it was perfect in the way that it accommodated us and our dogs, on the way to Cape Shows. Lovely space, and training space even. Cottage was perfect for us, lovely and clean and well equipped. Dinner offered, and Breakfast too. Food was ok.... wine list was fantabulous. Will be back for other stop overs. Very hospitable managers, nothing too much to ask.
