Für uns war die Unterkunft perfekt. Sehr schönes Haus mit Pool und liebevoll gepflegtem Garten und mit liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und geleitet. Sehr herzliches Personal mit guter Ortskenntnis und hilfreichen Empfehlungen jeder Art. Es sind bei uns keine Wünsche offen geblieben

10/10 Exceptional

Es war einfach nur super! Tolles Zimmer, super Service. Das Frühstück, v.a. das Surprise Omlette, war ein Traum. Man braucht definitiv ein Auto (kann nachts gesichert geparkt werden), da nicht in Nähe der CBD. Aber idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Kaphalbinsel zu erkundigen.

Lovely house with a wonderful pool. Location is great because of secure parking but about 15 minutes out of Cape Town.

Comfortable Guest House in Newlands
I have stayed at the Wild Olive Guest House on a number of occasions. The standard is consistently very good with staff being pleasant to deal with. As usual the breakfast was excellent. On this occasion I encountered a problem with the TV set in Room 5 and I trust that management will sort this out.
