Amazing family getaway.

Money well spent! If you are in need of a relaxing weekend away, this is the place to go. A big thank you to the staff for making us feel at home when we visited. You will see us again.

Heerlike bos wegbreek.

Die gashere was uitstekend! Hulle het die ekstra myl gestap om ons kuier spesiaal te maak. Daar is net sein by die ontvangs area, maar dit het ons nie gepla nie. Ek sal ook die wildsrit aanbeveel, die bosveld is so mooi! Kinders het heerlik op al die sement paadtjies gery met hulle fietse.

Lovely forest getaway.

The hosts were excellent! They went the extra mile to make our visit special. There is only signal at the reception area, but it didn't bother us. I would also recommend the game drive, the woodland is so beautiful! Children had a great time riding their bikes on all the cement paths.

Vreugde, rustigheid en lekker.

Baie dankie aan Olievenfontein, dit was definitief die moeite werd vir 'n bietjie wegbreek om te rus na 'n besige tyd wat ons agter die rug het.

Will not return there.

This resort is highly overrated. Outdated descriptions on the site and establishment ride on the back of previous ownership/certificates (dates back to 1993/2001). No restaurant, no clubhouse, no facilities. There is only the pool and game drives at a cost. No wildlife to be seen from the chalet. The name Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve is overrated.

Sal enige tyd weer gaan, hopelik is daar dan nie geraasmakers nie.

Die hele vakansie was 'n absolute droom. Die ligging, die bestuurspan, die kothuis. Enigste nadeel was die geraas van ander vakansiegangers wat nie ander om hulle in ag geneem het nie.

Will go again anytime, hopefully no noise makers then.

The whole holiday was an absolute dream. The location, the management team, the cottage. Only downside was the noise from other vacationers who didn't consider others around them.

It would be a perfect natural retreat if the noise and light pollution were addressed.

Great location but unfortunately for a nature lover, the camp has far too much light pollution and noise. Guests played loud music and made so much noise that no game would return to the water hole.

Pragtige natuurskoon in die bosveld.

Vriendelike personeel en pragtige natuurskoon. Neem wel kennis dat mens 40 minute grondpad moet ry, sou mens iets in die dorp nodig kry. Beter om alles van die begin af saam te neem. Daar is ook geen selfoonsein of WiFi nie. Die eenhede is goed toegerus, maar benodig instandhouding.

Weg van die geraas met 'n perfekte bosveld-stilte.

Dit is net mooi weg van die geraas met 'n perfekte bosveld-stilte. Ons was in 'n huisie met die 2 kinders en kon rustig op die stoep sit terwyl die kinders in die swembad was en rondhardloop onder die pragtige, groot bome. Die plek is netjies en het lekker stap- en fietsryplekke op die plaas. Gasvrye en goeie mense.

It is just nicely away from the noise with a perfect bushland silence. We were in a little house with the 2 children and could sit quietly on the porch while the children were in the pool and running around under the beautiful, big trees. The place is neat and has nice walking and cycling spots on the farm. Hospitable and good people.

Dit was die beste keuses gewees om die plek te kies om te gaan ontspan.

Met ons aankoms was ons hartlik ontvang, so gasvry. Die plek in die bos is so rustig, jy ontdek weer jouself. Ek gaan beslis die plek weer besoek, dalk sal 'n warm swembad gepas wees vir die winter of in die aande.

Baie, baie leke blyplek, en gasheer. Geagte was, om in die natuur 'n paar dae af te koel, en met wild te sien tyd tot tyd was dit wel ook so. Wildsrit, paadjies en roete belewenis (klou maar goed vas).

Puik diens en perfekte plek vir behoorlik uitrus!

Ons was baie beïndruk met ons verblyf en die kliëntediens van die bestuur was voortreflik! Die verblyf is baie gerieflik, netjies en skoon, met alles wat mens benodig tydens jou verblyf. 'n Baie mooi en unieke wildsplaas en kon gereeld die wild sien water drink van ons stoep af. Die bestuur het uit hul pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. As mens 'n plek soek om so min as moontlik te doen en net behoorlik te rus, is dit ideaal. Al wat kort is, is WiFi-opvangs in die kamers wat dinge baie makliker sou maak, want opvangs is baie sleg daar. Kon wel WiFi-opvangs by hoofgebou kry. Sal beslis weer terugkeer vir 'n wegbreek!

Great service and perfect place for a proper rest!

We were very impressed with our stay and the customer service from the management was outstanding! The accommodation is very comfortable, neat and clean, with everything you need during your stay. A very beautiful and unique game farm and could often see the game drinking water from our porch. The management went out of their way to make us feel welcome. If you are looking for a place to do as little as possible and just rest properly, this is ideal. All that is short is WiFi reception in the rooms which would make things much easier as reception is very bad there. Was able to get WiFi reception at main building. Will definitely return again for a getaway!

Mens kon sien dat die badkamer 'n bietjie opknap nodig gehad het, maar dit was nietemin skoon. Die kombuis daarenteen is pragtig toegerus met nuwe toebehore.

The perfect location to rejuvenate and relax.

We absolutely loved the place. The managers are so friendly and accommodating. Jennifer always has a warm smile and hug to share. The kids and adults alike enjoyed playing with the cheetah cubs who were being rehabilitated onsite. The chalet had everything one would need for self-catering. Sitting at the boma watching the stars in the evenings was the best part of the trip for me. Lazy long days at the sparkling pool were equally as therapeutic. A beautiful stay!

Baie lekker gerus vir die naweek. Vriendelike ontvangs.

Alhoewel die hele Suid-Afrika onder water was die laaste paar dae, het ons nog steeds ons verblyf geniet by Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve. Jennefer en Johan het ons vriendelik ontvang en was baie behulpsaam. Die eenheid is ten volle toegerus, skoon en netjies. Die Vaalwater-distrik het baie om te doen en tussen die reën deur het ons aktiwiteite gekry.

Salig!

Ongelooflike rustige atmosfeer waar jy in die aande die paddas kan hoor lawaai maak. Ons het in die Impala huisie gebly en was baie tevrede. Die kombuis is ongelooflik goed toegerus, die kamer en badkamer is groot en gerieflik. Die block-out gordyne verseker 'n goeie nagrus. Ons het heerlik langs die swembad ontspan, mekaar aangevat rondom die ping-pong tafel en op die stoep gesit en na die diere gekyk. Die wildrit en uitkykpunt is beslis die moeite werd. Hou maar jou vensters toe, en bring alles in in die aande, want die apies sal in jou huis inkom. Hulle bied braaihout en charcoal aan op site (onthou kontant), wat betaal moet word as jy uitklok. Neem in ag dat selffoon opvangs beperk is, en daar is geen opvangs tydens loadshedding. Hulle het wel 'n generator, wat dit baie gemaklik maak. Bel vooraf om te hoor oor die toestand van die pad, of ry eerder met 'n high-clearence voertuig, veral na reën. Dit was 'n heerlike naweek! Ons sou graag langer wou bly.

Blessed!

Incredibly peaceful atmosphere where you can hear the frogs making noise in the evenings. We stayed in the Impala cottage and were very pleased. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, the room and bathroom are large and comfortable. The block-out curtains ensure a good night's rest. We had a wonderful time relaxing by the pool, hugging each other around the ping-pong table and sitting on the porch looking at the animals. The game drive and lookout is definitely worth it. Just keep your windows closed, and bring everything inside in the evenings, because the monkeys will come into your house. They offer braai wood and charcoal on site (remember cash), which must be paid for when you check out. Note that cell phone reception is limited, and there is no reception during loadshedding. They do have a generator, which makes it very comfortable. Call ahead to hear about the condition of the road, or drive with a high-clearance vehicle instead, especially after rain. It was a lovely weekend! We would have liked to stay longer.

Enjoyable stay, but missing a few tricks.

Myself, wife and 2 young children stayed at Olievenfontein for 3 nights in January 2023. Overall, we found the stay very enjoyable. We relaxed by the pool, had a great game drive and generally got ready for the new year ahead. A few things I feel could be improved: 1. As the lodge is self-catering you need to bring most of your items which means lots of luggage. The parking space is not directly next to the unit which means you have to carry your goods (bags, cooler boxes, food etc. etc.) from the car to the unit. I found it strange that the staff watched us unpack the car and then only once the car was empty were we offered assistance with luggage. 2. There had been quite a bit of rain and the patio areas were wet on arrival. After my children slipped and fell for the third time we asked if we could get the area mopped. We were handed a mop by the cleaning staff and we had to do it ourselves. 3. My baby got sick one evening and we reported it to the housekeeper as we needed new bedding. The staff member dropped off the bedding on the table and we had to change the bedding ourselves, which is not a problem, but I feel the staff member could've offered to change it for us. 4. I found that general maintenance is lacking. The door handles in Kudu are about to fall off, the lights in the bathroom and 1 bedroom weren't working. The drain also struggles to cope with the shower water and smells a bit, and the towel holder fell off. The units look as though they need a good varnish and paint. So, in general, a good stay but some attention to detail is missing.

Lodge situated in beautiful surroundings, Jenny and Johan were wonderful hosts. The only negative is that the chalets and clubhouse could do with a bit of maintenance here and there and a good clean, but other than that everything was perfect and I would highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

Lekker rustige kuier met goeie geriewe.

Jennifer en Johan het ons persoonlik, vriendelik ontvang - wat nogals lekker was. Die papierwerk was reeds begin en het net gewag vir my finale handtekening. Die huisies was skoon, netjies en met 'n lekker stoep vir sit en kuier. Die feit dat die selfoonsein sleg was (a.g.v. "loadshedding"), was 'n ekstra vreugde! Ons het lekker gekuier!

Rest, no city noises. Units do need maintenance.

General maintenance of unit needs attention. Stayed in Waterbok: drains were clogged. Bathroom walls are very dirty and things like light switches were dirty (I cleaned them). Chairs standing outside need attention. Stove not working. Linen was nice and clean but towels were stained. One understands that Covid has had a big impact on every lodge out there, but most of the complaints could have been prevented by a 'deep cleanse'. The manager made a bonfire in the boma every night and it was delicious!

Fantastiese plek met fantastiese gashere.

Van die oomblik wat ons arriveer het, het die rustigheid weerklink in ons siele. Ons was vriendelik gegroet deur ons gashere Johan en Jennifer en hulle was regdeur ons kuier baie behulpsaam en gasvry. Ons het lanklaas so welkom by enige plek gevoel. Die plek self is ook asemrowend. Baie oop spasie en net jy en die natuur. Ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie. Mens let selde op hoeveel jy jou siel verwaarloos, tot jy by so plek opdaag en jy 'n sug van verligting beleef. Die verblyf was baie gemaklik en ons het tuis gevoel, selfs meer as by die huis. Die wildritte is ook baie opwindend en Johan sal jou vermaak met vele interessante verhale oor die landskap en omgewing se geskiedenis, alles met 'n glimlag.

You rarely notice how much you neglect your soul, until you arrive at such a place and experience a sigh of relief. The accommodation was very comfortable and we felt at home, even more than at home. The game drives are also very exciting and Johan will entertain you with many interesting stories about the landscape and surrounding history, all with a smile.

Ons het regtig 'n ongelooflike naweek gehad. Baie dankie aan ons gashere, Johan en Jen, met puik diens. Ons is met ope arms ontvang en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Ons het tuis gegaan in Waterbok, wat vir ons ideaal was. Baie gerieflik met 'n lekker stoep waarvan ons die wild kon dophou. Al wat ek kan sê is, alles was baie lekker. Ons is met swaar harte hier weg tot volgende keer.

Die rustigheid en natuurskoon is 5 ster.

Vriendelike diens van al die personeel ontvang. Ongelukkig kort die geboue, meubels (matras en bank in ons eenheid), tuine en swembad instandhouding en opknappingswerk in die algemeen.

Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve 's response

Good day, trusting you and your spouse are both well.

Thank you kindly for taking time to review us, it is much appreciated...

We appreciate your sentiments regarding our management and staff at the Reserve, I know that they are thrilled always, to provide top class service to all our guests...

We are saddened by your comments, in relation to our furnishings etc, provided in this cottage. Especially since you did not raise any issue to our management team, while at the Reserve. None-the-less, they have both been to the cottage since receiving your review, and they have tested and checked for any fault and weren't able to discover any material defects. We have also had several couples in the same cottage, since your stay, and no one has raised any issue with the furnishings therein.

Lastly, Johan, the Game Reserve Manager, who looks after the gardens and the pools, in the Lodge area, was also quite surprised by your comments, as he personally takes special care of these areas, to ensure every guest experiences a high level and standard in this regard.

None-the-less, we apologise for not living up to your standards, and hope that one day you will give us a chance to host you again, and trust that at that time our standards will meet with your approval and satisfaction...

Thank you once again.

Dit is 'n fantastiese plek om bietjie te rus.

Dit is 'n lekker rustige plek waar mens kan afskakel, die sein wat sleg is help natuurlik met dit. Daar is baie voëllewe en heelwat diere wat by die voerpunte naby die lodge kom kuier. Die uitsig oor die plaas is pragtig en daar is lekker staproetes.

It's a fantastic place to get some rest.

It's a nice quiet place where you can switch off, the bad signal helps with that of course. There is a lot of bird life and quite a few animals that visit the feeding points near the lodge. The view over the farm is beautiful and there are nice hiking trails.

Die natuurskoon was mooi en heerlik rustig.

Ons het die natuur geniet en die lodge is oor die algemeen nie sleg nie. Ons spesifieke kamer het wel instandhouding nodig gehad. Die toiletsitplek was gechip, die bad kort maintenance, die bed was deurgeslaap, die lampie was gebreek en die yskas maak glad nie meer mooi koud nie. Vir 'n 4 ster-selfsorgplek was daar ook nie 'n stoof nie alhoewel daar plek is vir een. Die plek is nie sleg nie en met n bietjie opgradering sal ek dit kan aanbeveel.

The scenery was beautiful and wonderfully peaceful.

We enjoyed the nature and the lodge is generally not bad. Our particular room did need maintenance. The toilet seat was chipped, the bath needed maintenance, the bed was slept in, the lamp was broken and the fridge no longer cools nicely. For a 4 star self catering place there was also no stove although there is room for one. The place is not bad and with a little upgrade I would be able to recommend it.

Beautiful location, tranquil surroundings, wonderful facilities and hosts.

Olievenfontein is the perfect getaway to immerse oneself in a restorative and tranquil stay away from the busyness of daily life. The resort is beautiful with well equipped and serviced chalets, a lovely pool and leisure area with spectacular views of the surrounding Waterberg, and a wonderful boma where a fire is lit on clear evenings and one can enjoy the clear night skies and sounds of nature. Johan and Jennifer are very friendly and welcoming hosts, and the bush drive with Johan to look at the wildlife and views is a lovely excursion to add to the relaxing experience.

Bosveld-natuurskoon op sy beste!

Die braaigeriewe by elke eenheid is meer as voldoende ingerig. Dit sou aangeneem wees as die boma aangesteek kon word soos vroeër jare, maar ook te verstane dat dit 'n uiterse hoë brandgevaar inhou met die winde en dus nie die keer gebeur het nie. Die beperkte hoeveelheid mense wat die lodge kan huisves, skep 'n uiters intieme atmosfeer. Die werknemers was baie vriendelik en het graag na ons versoeke omgesien. Die watergat, wat 'n geskatte 50m van ons stoep af is, was besoek deur verskeie wild. Ons het 10 verskillende spesies van ons stoep af besigtig oor die loop van ons verblyf, nl. rooibok, koedoe, waterbok, blouwildebees, eland, vlakvark, kameelperd, ape, bobbejane en zebra. Die voëllewe is volop en weerklink oor die kalmte van die lodge. Die staproetes was aangenaam en ons het ook weer heelwat wild gesien. Die wildrit was ook puik en ons gids se kennis van die bosveld uitstekend met baie ekstra staaltjies van die plaas wat hy met ons gedeel het. Ons sien julle definitief weer vorentoe!

Bushveld scenery at its best!

The braai facilities at each unit are more than adequately equipped. It would have been acceptable if the boma could have been lit as in previous years, but it is also understandable that this poses an extremely high risk of fire with the winds and therefore did not happen this time. The limited amount of people that the lodge can accommodate creates an extremely intimate atmosphere. The employees were very friendly and happy to take care of our requests. The waterhole, which is an estimated 50m from our porch, was visited by various wildlife. We saw 10 different species from our porch over the course of our stay, viz. impala, kudu, waterbuck, blue wildebeest, moose, warthog, giraffe, monkeys, baboons and zebra. The bird life is abundant and echoes over the serenity of the lodge. The hiking trails were pleasant and we also saw a lot of wildlife. The game drive was also great and our guide's knowledge of the bushveld excellent with many extra anecdotes from the farm that he shared with us. We will definitely see you again in the future!

Indien daar dalk 'n restaurant of selfs net 'n kroeg op die perseel was, sou dit die ervaring net soveel meer eksklusief gemaak het.

Ideaal vir naweek ontsnap vir 'n paartjie sonder kinders, of 'n groep vriende.

Buiten vir 'n swembad en klein speelarea, is daar nie veel vir klein kinders of tieners om te doen op die terrein of in die omliggende omgewing nie. Vir die meer aktiewe familie is daar wandel- en fietsryroetes en die natuurskoon is asemrowend. Baie en goeie geleenthede om wild te sien, soos kameelperde, sebras, ape en natuurlik koedoes.

Ideal for a weekend escape for a couple without children, or a group of friends.

Apart from a swimming pool and small play area, there is not much for small children or teenagers to do on site or in the surrounding area. For the more active family, there are walking and cycling routes and the scenery is breathtaking. Many and good opportunities to see wildlife, such as giraffes, zebras, monkeys and of course kudus.

Chalets are incredibly beautiful and clean. Game drives can be booked through the lodge itself, and there are also additional activities nearby.

Wonderlike, rustige ontspannende atmosfeer. Fantastiese wegbreek van die stad

Die gasvrou het die kinders letterlik by die hek verwelkom en deurgaans was hulle vriendelik, behulpsaam en beskikbaar. Die perseel is in 'n goeie toestand maar akkommodeer die natuur om gerespekteer te word. Vir 'n enkelouer met twee kinders, was dit 'n goeie ruskans aangesien die kinders kon speel en rondhardloop. Kan dit definitief aanbeveel.

Wonderful, peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Great getaway from the city

The hostess literally welcomed the children at the gate and throughout they were friendly, helpful and available. The site is in good condition but accommodates nature to be respected. For a single parent with two children, it was a good break as the children could play and run around. Can definitely recommend it.

Net wat ons nodig gehad het. Die voëllewe is besonders - vat jou voëlboek saam!

Het sommer tuis gevoel na Jennifer en Johan se hartlike ontvangs. Is spyt dat ons die laaste gaste was wat die betrokke dag ingeklok het want toe is die wildritte vir die volgende dag reeds vol bespreek. Sal voorstel dat daar oorweging gegee word dat gaste wildritte vooraf kan bespreek en betaal en dit nie beperk tot wanneer gaste opdaag nie. Alternatiewelik gee gaste die geleentheid om in hulle eie voertuig (4x4 aleenlik) die wildrit voertuig te vergesel teen 'n koste.

Just what we needed. The bird life is exceptional - take your bird book with you!

Felt right at home after Jennifer and Johan's warm welcome. Regret that we were the last guests to check in on the day in question because then the game drives for the next day were already fully booked. Would suggest that consideration be given to allowing guests to book and pay for game drives in advance and not limit it to when guests arrive. Alternatively, guests are given the opportunity to accompany the game drive vehicle in their own vehicle (4x4 only) at a cost.

Okay.

This is not a 4-star property at all. The chalet walls are dirty and under the toaster it seems they never cleaned it. We didn’t say anything, we didn’t want to spoil our holiday. To go on a game drive not even asked what to drink. Usually the other game lodges ask what the people drink.

Lekker rustig en netjies al is daar nie lugversorger nie.

Kort beslis lugversorging veral vir die warm somermaande. Die DSTV was 'n lewensredder met die semi-finale van die wêreldbeker. Die wild is uiters mak en wei tot teen die ruskamp. Die gashere is uiters vriendelik en gasvry. Ek sal weer gaan as ek die kans kry.

Olievenfontein is the place to go if you want to spend quality time with your family. The accommodation is 5 star, the hospitality of Johan and Jennifer makes the experience so much more worthwhile.

Pragtige en rustige reservaat.

Olievenfontein is 'n pragtige en rustige wildreservaat. Die verblyf is pragtig en baie goed ingerig. Die lodge het 'n groot swembad en boma waar hulle vuur in die aand maak. Alles met 'n asemrowende uitsig van die berg/koppie. Voor die lodge is 'n water drink plek met baie verskillende wild wat kom drink. Jennifer en Johan is wonderlike gashere. Gaan doen gerus die wildrit tot op die berg en geniet 'n drankie/koffie en Johan se skreeusnaakse staaltjies. Hoogs aanbeveel. Baie dankie

Beautiful and peaceful reserve.

Olievenfontein is a beautiful and peaceful game reserve. The accommodation is beautiful and very well furnished. The lodge has a large swimming pool and boma where they make a fire in the evening. All with a breathtaking view of the mountain/cup. In front of the lodge is a watering place with many different game that come to drink. Jennifer and Johan are wonderful hosts. Feel free to go and do the game drive up the mountain and enjoy a drink/coffee and Johan's hilarious anecdotes. Highly recommended. Thank you very much

Heerlik rustige, stil bosveldwegbreek.

Ons het 'n heerlike warm ontvangs gehad. Ons het presies gekry wat ons vir die naweek gesoek het. Ons wou lekker rus in stilte. Ons het lekker op die stoep gesit en na al die diere by die watergat gekyk. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan rus.

Ontspannend, ongelooflike mooi omgewing en vriendelike personeel.

Die reservaat is nie groot en eenhede redelik naby mekaar wat dit perfek gemaak met vir ons. My 7 jarige dogter kon orals speel en ek kon, sonder om ons stoep te verlaat, haar deurentyd sien. Jennifer het meer as een keer seker gemaak als is reg aan ons kant en was altyd meer as bereid om te help as ons iets benodig. Die ontbyt was ongelooflik en sal ek dit enige tyd aan enige iemand aanbeveel. Ek sal Olievenfontein hoog aanbeveel vir enige gesin, eenhede is baie oulik ingerig, swembad en tafeltennis vir die hele gesin en my dogtertjie wou net elke and by die boma sit.

Relaxing, incredibly beautiful surroundings and friendly staff.

The reserve is not large and units quite close to each other which made it perfect for us. My 7-year-old daughter could play anywhere and I could, without leaving our porch, see her all the time. Jennifer made sure more than once that everything was OK on our end and was always more than willing to help if we needed anything. The breakfast was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone anytime. I would highly recommend Olievenfontein for any family, units are very cutely furnished, swimming pool and table tennis for the whole family and my little girl just wanted to sit by the boma every minute.

Teleurgesteld.

Ons het tuis gegaan in die "Giraffe Eenheid" as 'n gesin van 6 volwassenes. Die eenheid was onnet, die stoof was vetterig en vuil, deurtrek van insekte en dit is duidelik dat die eenheid net vlugtig gediens word. Die swembad was deurtrek van die alge en die water is slegs met chloor behandel. Dit kan 'n fantastiese oord wees, mits die eenhede behoorlik skoon gemaak word en instandhouding gedoen word.

Disappointed.

We stayed in the "Giraffe Unit" as a family of 6 adults. The unit was not tidy, there were a lot of insects and it is clear that the unit was only slightly cleaned on the surface. The pool was full of algae and the water is only treated with chlorine. It can be a fantastic resort, if the units are cleaned properly and maintenance done well.

Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve 's response

Beste Jay,

Eerstens wil ek vir julle groep se baie dankie dat julle hier by ons bespreek het.

Gun ons die geleentheid om terugvoer te verskaf op die kommentaar in jul resensie:

Julle wou nie toegelaat het dat die personeel hul werk doen om die eenheid daagliks skoon te maak nie. Die personeel het elke keer teruggekom na my en gesê die gaste sê dit is nie nodig om die eenheid te diens nie, hulle moet net die skottelgoed was. Selfs vir die Sondag-aand het julle nie die diens nodig gehad nie.

'n Persoon van jul groep het die Saterdag kom brood koop by my en ek het vir die persoon gevra of alles reg is. Hy het gesê julle kuier baie lekker, niks van onnetheid of vuilheid is genoem nie. Ek het dit eers gehoor toe julle kom om uit te teken op die Maandag.

Aangaande die insekte, moet julle in ag neem dat ons is in die bos is, en dat julle die voordeur oopgehou het in die aande terwyl die ligte in die eenheid aan is. Dit sal enige insek verwelkom om in te vlieg. Ons brand elke maand wierook in al die eenhede. Na jul vertrek op die Maandag, het ek self die eenheid inspekteur en nie een insek of spinnerak gewaar nie.

Die swembad is nie vol alge nie want ons behandel dit - nie net met chloor nie, maar ook met koper swawelsuursout.

Laastens, het ek julle ook nie aangespreek oor die mobiele lugreëling wat julle gebruik het in die eenheid gedurende jul verblyf nie. Dit moet eintlik by die bestuur aangemeld word vir toestemming om dit te gebruik. Ek het dit aanvaar met die rede om gaste se verblyf vir hulle aangenaam te maak.

Groete,
Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve

Kon perfek gewees het!

Als was pragtig en netjies maar ons het glad nie warm water gehad vir 3 dae nie en dit het nie gelyk of die bestuur daar baie haastig was om dit uit te sorteer nie. Een dag kan mens nog verstaan maar na drie dae het ons vroeg geloop en is terug huis toe want dis onaanvaarbaar! Die weer was koud so as mens dan nie 'n lekker warm bad of stort kan vat nie spoil die hele ondervinding en 'n mens betaal vir al die basiese geriewe! Sal beslis nie weer daar aandoen nie!

Als was beautiful and tidy but we had no hot water at all for 3 days and it didn't seem like the management there was in a big hurry to sort it out. One day you can still understand but after three days we walked early and went back home because it's unacceptable! The weather was cold so if you can't take a nice hot bath or shower it spoils the whole experience and you pay for all the basic facilities! Definitely won't be going there again!

Net wat die dokter voorgeskryf het!

Baie vriendelike diens en 'n ongelooflike ervaring om net tussen die kliprante in die Waterberge te ontspan, weg van die stad se gejaag. Ek sal Olievenfontein aanbeveel vir die wat net wil stil raak en die bosveld wil ervaar as kos vir die siel.

Just what the doctor ordered!

Very friendly service and an incredible experience to just be in the Waterberg to relax, away from the city. I will recommend Olievenfontein to anyone wanting to spend some time in the quiet of the bushveld.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring.

Ons sal beslis weer besoek aflê. Die ontvangs was aangenaam, die verblyf skoon en netjies. Diere was volop en personeel het kort kort ingeloer om seker te maak als verloop vlot. Die wildrit was so lekker ons het sommer twee keer gegaan. Oom Johan loop oor van kennis en het ons baie van die veld en diere geleer.

Uncle Johan overflows with knowledge and taught us a lot about the field and animals.

Stukkie paradys in die Waterberge.

Olievenfontein is perfek vir 'n naweek-wegbreek. Die koraalbome tussen die chalets en ander boomsoorte maak die besoek ekstra besonders. Elke chalet is so opgestel dat jy 'n direkte uitsig oor die veld en op die berge het, ook op die watergat waar jy daagliks 'n toeloop van diere kan besigtig. Dit vanaf jou eie stoep. Jennifer en Johan het ons baie mooi opgepas en was te alle tye hulpsaam, veral toe Jennifer my kon uithelp met hooikoorspille! My enigste kritiek is dat ons nie bewus was van die lang grondpad met sy baie klippe tot by die reservaat nie, en op plekke het my voertuig seergekry, aangesien hy baie laag is. Dis net 'n waarskuwing vir toekomstige besoekers. Ons hoop om gou weer te kan wegbreek na Olievenfontein! Volgende keer met 'n groter voertuig!

Piece of paradise in the Waterberge.

Olievenfontein is perfect for a weekend getaway. The coral trees between the chalets and other types of trees make the visit extra special. Each chalet is set up in such a way that you have a direct view of the field and the mountains, also of the water hole where you can see an influx of animals daily. This from your own porch. Jennifer and Johan looked after us very well and were helpful at all times, especially when Jennifer was able to help me out with hay fever pills! My only criticism is that we were not aware of the long dirt road with its many stones up to the reserve, and in places my vehicle hurt as it is very low. It's just a warning for future visitors. We hope to be able to break away to Olievenfontein again soon! Next time with a bigger vehicle!

Hekmotor by ontvangs werk nie, moet stop en uitklim om hek oop en toe te maak, ek voel dis 'n veiligheidsrisiko. Klomp versteekte hoeke en mure, veral in die aand. Wasbak in badkamer dreineer baie stadig. Potte en panne was ook nie skoon na wense, eetgerei was wel mooi skoon. Spinnerakke teen dak bo bed in slaapkamer. Beddegoed baie mooi skoon. Vloere, banke, kombuistafel, yskas en badkamer baie mooi skoon.

Gate motor at reception not working, have to stop and get out to open and close gate, I feel it's a safety risk. Lots of hidden corners and walls, especially in the evening. Sink in bathroom drains very slowly. Pots and pans were also not as clean as desired, cutlery was pretty clean. Cobwebs on roof above bed in bedroom. Bedding very nice and clean. Floors, sofas, kitchen table, fridge and bathroom very nice and clean.

Het spesifiek gevra vir bad, maar daar was geen warm water beskikbaar omrede lae druk in kraan.

Op aankoms het ons uitgesien na 'n rustige tyd, maar moes toe vind dat daar geen warm water is na die bad in die hoofbadkamer nie. Ons het die bestuurder menigte maal laat kom om self te sien. Na 'n lang gesukkel het hulle die element vervang, maar het verder niks gedoen om die druk te herstel nie. Ons moes to maar emmers en bekers en potte gebruik om die bad vol te kry wat meer as 'n halfuur gevat het. Nie net was dit 'n teleurstelling nie, maar indringerig op ons tyd daar. Die bestuurder het net verskonings gelewer waarom dinge nie in orde was voor ons arriver het nie. Dit het basies die tyd daar ongemaklik gemaak en ons kon nie wag om by die huis te kom en 'n warm bad te vat nie.

Asked specifically for a bath, but there was no hot water available due to low pressure in the faucet.

On arrival we were looking forward to a quiet time, only to find that there was no hot water for the bath in the main bathroom. We have had the manager come to see for himself many times. After a long struggle they replaced the element but did nothing else to restore the pressure. We had to use buckets and cups and pots to fill the bath which took more than half an hour. Not only was it a disappointment, but intrusive on our time there. The manager only made excuses as to why things were not in order before we arrived. It basically made the time there uncomfortable and we couldn't wait to get home and take a hot bath.

Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve 's response

Geagte Carina,

Dankie vir die tyd wat u afgestaan het om vir ons n resensie te skryf rakende u verblyf by Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve.

Ons neem kennis van u beswaar rakende die warm water en het ons onmiddelik aandag daaraan gegee. Ongelukkig moes ons die oorsaak van die probleem eers indentifiseer, as gevolg van die feit dat julle wel warm water gehad het die vorige dag, en deur verskeie opsies werk om by die oorsaak van die probleem uit te kom.

Gedurende hierdie tyd het ek u gereeld op hoogte gehou met wat ons doen, selfs nadat ek deur u uitgeskel en weggejaag is. Ek en my onderhoudswerker het nadat ek die element vervang het by die geyser gewag totdat ons tevrede was dat die warm water toevoer na julle eenheid herstel was. Dit was bevestig deur u nadat ons kamerdiens dames u persoonlik laat toets het dat die warm water probleem opgelos is.

Die beswaar aangaande die druk kon ek egter nie oplos nie. Alhoewel ek die drukpomp se druk probeer opstel het, het hy n vervaardigings verstelling om n maksimum van 3.2bar uit te stoot.
As bestuurder van Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve wil ek egter net weereens omverskoning vra vir enige ongerief wat u ervaar het gedurende u verblyf hier by ons.

Groete,
Johan

Die reservaat is baie klein met beperkte diere. Die wildsrit was egter aangenaam en die uitkykpunt mooi. Alhoewel kinders welkom is, is dit nie 'n gesinsvriendelike reservaat nie. Daar is amper geen selfoonontvangs op die reservaat nie en alhoewel hul adverteer dat daar WiFi beskikbaar is, is ons relatief stief meegedeel dat daar geen WiFi is nie. Die bestuurders het ons baie tegemoet probeer kom met 'n datum vir die wegbreek wat ons pas en dit waardeer ons baie.

It's a nice reserve, but really not child-friendly and very small.

The reserve is very small with limited animals. However, the game drive was pleasant and the viewpoint beautiful. Although children are welcome, this is not a family-friendly reserve. There is almost no mobile phone reception on the reserve and although they advertise that WiFi is available, we were told relatively stiffly that there is no WiFi. The managers tried very hard to accommodate us with a date for the getaway that suited us and we really appreciate that.

Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve 's response

More Riki,

Eestens, baie dankie vir jou resensie wat jy ingestuur het, ons waardeer dat julle dit geniet het hier.

Die resensie dat ons Lodge nie kinder vriendelik is nie kan ek nie glo nie, dit is die eerste keer dat ons so 'n resensie ontvang, en ons kry baie groepe met kinders en tieners.
Die is baie teleurstellend om te hoor dat julle onder die indruk was dat ons geen Wi-Fi het nie, dit is nie wat ons gesê het nie.
Alhoewel ek vir die kinders die kode gegee het, het ek ook vir julle meegedeel dat die Wi-Fi aan en af sal wees as gevolg van die seine hier by ons, ek het ook gesukkel om my e-posse af te laai as gevolg van die seine, en sukkel gereeld met die seine hier by ons.

Ek hoop jy verstaan en ons sien daarna uit om julle familie weer hier by ons te verwelkom.

Beste Groete,
Jen

Rustig en pragtig.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad by Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve. Vriendelike diens en uitstekende kommunikasie. Die laaste deel van die pad is grond, so maak seker jy kom met 'n voertuig wat dit kan hanteer. Die eenhede is ongelooflik netjies en goed toegerus met baie goeie diens in terme van skoonmaak en opmaak. Die eenhede is nie vreeslik ver van mekaar nie so jy voel nooit 100% alleen nie. Die gesamentlike boma en bonfire in die aande is pragtig en gesellig en dit is groot pret om wakker te word en 'n klomp wildebeeste of kameelperde uit die venster te sien. Die winkeltjie het nie vreeslik baie voorraad nie so maak seker om alles saam te bring - Vaalwater is 'n goeie 40 minute weg.

Peaceful and beautiful.

We had a wonderful time at Olievenfontein Private Game Reserve. Friendly service and outstanding accommodation. The last part of the road is not tarred so make sure your vehicle can handle it. The units are so neat and well-equipped. Excellent cleaning and turn-in service. The units are not very far apart from each other so you never feel 100% alone. The communal boma and bonfire at night is beautiful and nice for a social and it is wonderful to wake with a view of wildebeest and giraffe. The little shop isn't very well stocked so make sure you bring everything you need - Vaalwater is about 40 minutes away.

Die wildsplaas was baie rustig en het die natuurskoon geniet

Die wildsplaas is nie 'n game reserve nie, het geen van die Groot Vyf nie en sy gradering is in 2015 laas gedoen. Die plek kort opgradering, veral die kombuistoerusting. Die natuurskoon is baie mooi en dit is 'n rustige omgewing. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

The game farm was very peaceful and enjoyed the scenery

The game farm is not a game reserve, has none of the Big Five and its rating was last done in 2015. The place needs upgrading, especially the kitchen equipment. The scenery is very beautiful and it is a peaceful environment. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Van ons aankoms by Olievenfontein tot ons vertrek het Johan en Jennifer ons baie spesiaal laat voel en behandel. Die diens is fantasties en hul het werklik uit hul pad gegaan om als perfek te maak.

Beautiful African experience for any wildlife fanatic.

I've visited a few game farms/lodges throughout my life, but Olievenfontein captures a unique experience. The setting is absolutely breathtaking between mountains, and regular views of wildlife from the chalets itself. The staff, Venessa and Johan, are such warmhearted, generous people and their love for nature and their knowledge thereof is just amazing. I also loved the African decor and everything was clean and tidy. I will surely visit the reserve again soon.

Would definitely come back.

Apart from what would be considered a lengthy stretch of dirt road if you don't have an off road-ish vehicle, the lodge is well kept and the game are in great view if the guests are not too boisterous. Johan and Jenny are great hosts and would definitely make another trip to the reserve. A nice treat is the viewing point that sits atop the mountain facing the lodge at the end of the game drive.

Pragtige omgewing en netjies verblyf.

Ons het fantastiese diens ontvang van die sms wat ons van Jennifer die oggend van ons inklokdatum gekry het, tot die warm waslappie en drankie toe ons arriveer het. Die eenheid was netjies en goed ingerig. Die dames het elke oggend mooi skoongemaak en in die middag die chalet voorberei vir die nag. Die enigste teerpunt was ongelukkig onbedagsame gaste langs ons wat die rustigheid bietjie bederf het.

Beautiful surroundings and neat accommodation.

We received fantastic service from the text we got from Jennifer on the morning of our check-in date, to the hot washcloth and drink when we arrived. The unit was neat and well furnished. The ladies cleaned nicely every morning and prepared the chalet for the night in the afternoon. The only downside was unfortunately inconsiderate guests next to us who spoiled the tranquility a bit.

Olievenfontein is a safe and tranquil oasis to recharge body, mind and soul.

From the moment that we were welcomed by our hosts Johan and Jennifer Vorster our stay at Olievenfontein was magical. The surroundings offer a tranquil and enjoyable atmosphere and from the veranda of our chalet, we were able to see giraffe, zebra, eland, blue wildebeest, impala and warthogs gather around the waterhole. The chalet was clean and neat and the friendly staff turned down our beds each night and we never had to wash our own dishes, giving us ample time to relax and enjoy our surroundings. We went on one game drive and it was very interesting to learn about the history of Olievenfontein

Ons was baie tevrede met die ruim, stylvolle en netjiese huis.

Van die oomblik wat ons die bespreking gemaak is, het ons net vriendelike diens ontvang. Ons was 3 gesinne wat in die Giraffe huis gebly het. Die huis is lekker ruim, vreeslik mooi en netjies. Die hele plek is goed ingerig en het alles gehad wat ons benodig het. Die huis is goed onderhou en alles het gewerk. Die staff is almal baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en ons het heerlik gekuier. Die swembad is pragtig skoon en die boma wat aangesteek was, was gesellig en gemaklik gemaak met mooi kussings en komberse. Dit was ons tweede keer by Olievenfontein, en beslis nie die laaste keer nie. Baie dankie vir 'n baie lekker naweek!

The pool is beautifully clean and the boma that was lit was made cozy and comfortable with nice pillows and blankets. It was our second time at Olievenfontein, and certainly not the last time.

Dear Jacqueline,

Thank you so much, we truly appreciate your thoughts.

We have had to endure much displeasure regarding the gravel road and since the new dispensation in the area took over earlier in the year, we have seen notable improvements and maintenance of the road has become more frequent. However, we are aware that we are far from having a perfect road for all to traverse on. We ask all guests to have patience on the rural, gravel road and hope that this drive is just a way of detaching oneself from the urban and busy lifestyles people are forced to make pleasant of each day, as they get away in the Bushveld of The Waterberg. Arriving and staying at our establishment will truly make the journey worth the while.

We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Regards,

Dit was 'n belewenis in die bosveld met die al die wilde diere en die luukste verblyf.

Jenny en Johan gaan uit hulle pad uit om jou welkom en tuis te laat voel. Dit is 'n pragtige lodge. Ons heerlik gaan stap elke dag. Ons het die wilde diere om die lodge baie geniet. Ons kon net die hele dag sit en kyk vir die berg en die diere. Heerlike manier om jou siel weer tot rus te bring en jou Skepper se Skepping te geniet.

Awsome, kon die rustigheid en grootheid van die wonderlike natuur ten volle ervaar.

Verblyf is baie skoon en netjies, dienste gelewer is puik. Gasheer en gasvrou was altyd baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Het ons verblyf baie geniet. Met die "gamedrive" was die gasheer ook baie goed ingelig oor die gebied en het baie interresante detail oor die gebied met ons gedeel.

Awsome, could fully experience the tranquility and grandeur of the wonderful nature.

Accommodation is very clean and tidy, services provided are excellent. Host and hostess were always very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay. With the "game drive" the host was also very knowledgeable about the area and shared many interesting details about the area with us.

Rustig en pragtig.

Dit was so 'n rustige en lekker naweek. Vanaf die verwelkoming tot ons uitboek het ons die beste en vriendelikste diens ontvang. Johan en Jen is so dierbare mense, en ek wens hulle net die beste vir hulle plek toe. Die kamers is netjies. Jy kry 2 keer 'n dag dames wat jou huis kom skoon en netjies maak. Skoon swembad en 'n lekker boma waar hulle die Saterdag vuur gemaak het. Die netwerksein is nie van die beste daar nie, maar ons het dit glad nie as 'n probleem ondervind nie, want mens is tog op 'n vakansie. Ek kan enige tyd hulle aanbeveel, hulle het soveel klein detail wat dit die moeite werd maak. Ons sal enige tyd weer terugkeer.

Peaceful and beautiful.

It was such a relaxing weekend. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, the best and friendliest service. Johan and Jen area wonderful people and wish them the best. The rooms are tidy. Cleaning service twice daily. Clean pool and nice boma where they made a fire on Saturday. Not the best cellphone reception, but it wasn't a problem for us because we were on holiday after all. I recommend them highly, put so much effort in the smallest detail. We will be back any day.

Plek om te gaan ontspan, rustig en baie mooi natuur.

Baie mooi en rustige plek om te gaan ontspan. Daar is speelplek vir kinders en swembaddens wat in die somer geniet sal kan word. Die eenhede is baie netjies en baie mooi. Wat die wild aanbetref is die kameelperde definitief die hoogetpunt en verskeie soorte diere kan gesien word deur sommer die staproetes aan te pak.

Place to relax, peaceful and very beautiful nature.

Very nice and peaceful place to relax. There is a playground for children and swimming pools that can be enjoyed in the summer. The units are very neat and very beautiful. As far as the wildlife is concerned, the giraffes are definitely the highlight and various types of animals can be seen just by taking the hiking trails.

Lekker rustig en mooi, maar teen 'n prys.

Ons het bespreek teen 40% afslag in die winter. As ek volprys betaal het sou ek nie baie gelukkig gewees het nie. Miskien waarde vir geld as jy die groot huis bespreek maar nie vir 'n eenslaapkamer chalet nie.

Rustig, ontspannend, vrede, stilte en beeldskoon.

Vriendelike mense. Het welkom gevoel van die 1ste minuut af. Lekker om die oggend op die stoep te sit en sien hoe die diere kom water drink. Huise is skoon en netjies die kos is ongelooflik lekker en as jy jou foon los en net die natuur en stilte inneem sal jy as 'n ander mens huis toe terugkeer. Baie dankie aan almal wat gehelp het om dit 'n lekker vakansie te maak.

Hi
Baie dankie vir jou woorde oor die omgewing, ons waardeer dit baie.
Ons let op ook oor die volgende: die etes word wel geadverteer maar dit moet gereël word voor julle arriveer, dit is omdat ons moet 50 km Vaalwater toe ry, om die aankope te doen, vir die etes, want ons hou niks vars aan nie, omdat ons 'n self-sorg ontwikkeling eerstens is. Ek glo nie julle sal tevrede wees met 'n stuk Fillet steak wat uit die vrieskas uitkom nie en ook nie met gevriesde groente nie, ons glo daar aan om ons gaste van die beste te voorsien vir die prys wat hulle betaal vir etes.

Soos reeds vir julle genoem, het ons nie 'n restaurant op die perseel nie, en dit is hoekom ons die gaste vra om voor die tyd te reël vir hulle etes.

Weereens, baie dankie, ek hoop julle verstaan die situasie.

Geniet die dag verder.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike week by Olievenfontein. Paar lekker dae by die pragtige swembadarea deurgebring. Wildrit was baie lekker. En daar was baie wild om te sien nie ver van ons stoep af nie. Bestuurspan baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sal definitief weer teruggaan en gaan vriende en familie saambring. Die regte plek om te gaan ontspan en te ontsnap van die stad. Sal ook nie sulke amazing sterre sien nie. WOW. Sien julle gou weer.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek, baie vriendelike gashere and baie praktiese verblyf.

Die reservaat is werklik goed geleë, nie te vêr om te reis nie. Verwelkoming was baie goed, Jennifer en Johan het ons soos familie laat voel. Die eenheid was waarlik goed uitgerus, ek sou net voorstel dat hulle lugreëling in die kamers sit. Ons kamer se waaier het so 'n lawaai gemaak dat ons amper nie kon slaap nie. Jy kan ook nie waag om die waaier af te sit nie want dit was te warm. Die ete by die restaurant was teleurstellend, koue sop vir voorgereg, boks-vis is ook nie gewens vir 'n driegang maaltyd nie. The nagereg was innoverend maar was sekerlik nie op standaard nie en dit voldoen nie aan die 4 ster gradering wat die reservaat verdien nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

It was a lovely getaway, very friendly hosts and very practical accommodation.

The reserve is really well located, not too far to travel. Welcome was very good, Jennifer and Johan made us feel like family. The unit was really well equipped, I would just suggest they put aircon in the rooms. Our room's fan made such a noise that we had trouble sleeping. You can also not switch the fan off, because then it gets too hot. The meals at the restaurant was disappointing, cold soup for starters, boxed fish is also not preferable for a three course meal. The dessert was innovative but also not up to standard and didn't match the 4 star grading the reserve deserves.

Hi Jaen

Ek is tevrede dat julle tyd gevat het om ons te review, baie dankie...

Julle moet asseblief net in ag neem dat ons n 4 ster Self-sorg instansie is en die etes is opsioneel so julle kan nie die etes saam met die 4 ster ontwikkeling vergelyk nie. Soos julle weet het ons die etes as n ektra geadverteer

Indien die sop koud was moes julle die dames wat julle bedien het daarvan in kennis gestel het wat julle ook nie gedoen het nie en hulle sou dit weer vir julle warm gemaak het. By die meeste Restaurante wat julle gaan vis eet of bestel kry julle ook maar vis wat uit n boks uitkom, want hier is nie n see naby ons waar ons vars vis kan gaan vang nie. Alles is maar I&J.

Ons was ook nie in kennis gestel van die waaier wat geraas het nie indien julle dit by ons kom aanmeld het sou ons dadelik werk daarvan gemaak het om dit reg te stel want ons dra ons gaste se tevredenheid op ons harte.

Weereens baie jammer vir julle ongerief ons hoop om dit volgende keer reg te stel as julle besluit om weer vir ons te kom kuier.

Beste Groete

Dit was die wonderlikste uitrusnaweek gewees. Ons wou glad nie weer ry nie! Die hele plek in perfek ingerig vir gesinne met klein kindertjies omrede daar geen karre is wat heeltyd ry nie, 'n goeie uitsig oor hele grasperk en swembaddens vanaf jou stoep, netjiese speelparkie en pragtige uitsig oor diere wat water drink en ook net daar gevoer word. Ons was eendag genooi om saam te ry om ander diere by 'n ander voerplek te gaan voer, waar die diere tot teenaan die voertuig kom staan het. Die diens is uitstekend vandat ons gearriveer het! Jennifer het ons ontvang met warm lappies vir ons hande en gesigte en yskoue vrugtesap. Van daar af het ons hul min gesien, maar die oomblik wat ons iets nodig gehad het soos ys of hout, was dit onmiddellik by ons huisie afgelewer. Hul is heeltyd op "standby", maar het ons al die privaatheid gegee waarvoor ons kon vra. Die skoonmakers was elke dag so vriendelik. Elke kamer het lekker dik gordyne in, so ons en die kleintjies kon almal heerlik laat slaap. Absolute waarde vir geld! Ons kan nie wag om hierdie plek vir ons vriende en familie te gaan wys nie! Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Fantastic! Tranquil, quiet, good service and friendly staff. Most beautiful view of the animals. Perfectly equipped for a family with young children.

This has been such a relaxing weekend. We didn't even want to go back home! The place is perfectly equipped for a family with young children as there were no cars that pass by, the veranda has a lovely view on the lawn and swimming pools, there is a neat little kids' playground and one can enjoy lovely views of the animals begin fed and drinking water. The one day we were invited to go help feed the animals at another site, and the animals even came up close to the vehicle. The service was outstanding from our arrival. Jennifer welcomed us with damp cloths for our hands and faces and cold fruit juice. We didn't see them much after that, but whenever we needed something such as ice or firewood, it was delivered to us immediately. They were on standby all the time, yet gave us all the privacy we needed. The cleaners were so friendly every day. The curtains in the rooms are nice and thick, so that me and the kids were able to sleep in each morning. Great value for money! Can't wait to show this place to our family and friends! We would definitely go again.

Heerlike rustigheid.

Ons het die naweek by Olievenfontein terdeë geniet. Dit was wonderlik om 'n kleiner luukse lodge te kan besoek met die kinders (baie keer word kinders nie toegelaat nie). Ons is nie lief vir die geraas en woeligheid van vakansieoorde nie, en hier kon ons rustig wees, die kinders kon steeds speel en swem en die natuurskoon is rondom ons. Bestuur is vriendelik en tegemoetkomend, daar as jy hul nodig, maar ook nie heeltyd in die omtrek nie. Die verblyf was silwerskoon, baie gerieflik en ten volle toegerus met alles wat jy nodig vir selfsorg. Ons sal verseker weer Olievenfontein besoek, en dit met graagte aanbeveel.

Lovely peace.

We enjoyed our weekend at Olievenfontein tremendously. It was wonderful fto be able to visit a luxurious lodge with the children (oftentimes children aren't allowed). We aren't crazy about the noise and business of holiday resorts and here we could just be at peace, the kids could still play and swim and the natural beauty surrounds you. Management is friendly and welcoming, there if you need them, but not crowding you the whole time. The accommodation was spotless, very comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need for self-catering. We will definitely visit Olievenfontein again, and recommend it wholeheartedly.

As jy heeltemal wil afskakel en batterye herlaai, is hierdie die plek - min aktiwiteite om jou te laat voel jy het weer 'n vakansie nodig, maar diens en Jenny en Johan se vriendelikheid as gasheer en gasvrou is puik!

Vir ses aande ooregeslaap en regtig afgeskakel. Selfoonontvangs is beperk en dit het my tablet onbruikbaar gemaak, maar ek het dit nie eers regtig gemis nie. Die grondpad was maar rof (en eers toe ons weggaan word dit geskraap?) maar dit het net gemaak dat ry nie een van die aktiwiteite was nie. Ek sou graag ook wou op my eie uitry op die plaas, maar nadat Johan ons uitgevat het, was dit heeltemal verstaanbaar hoekom privaatritte nie aan te bevole is nie! Dankie aan Jenny en Johan en die personeel - my "PFP" het baie goed afgeloop!

This review is being shown in its original language.

If you want to switch off completely and recharge your batteries, this is the place - few activities to make you feel like you need another holiday, but service and Jenny and Johan's friendliness as host and hostess are great!

Overslept for six nights and really switched off. Cell phone reception is limited and it made my tablet unusable, but I didn't even really miss it. The dirt road was only rough (and only when we left was it scraped?) but that just made driving not one of the activities. I would also like to drive out to the farm on my own, but after Johan took us out, it was completely understandable why private drives are not recommended! Thanks to Jenny and Johan and the staff - my "PFP" went very well!

Prentjiemooi!

Die kliëntediens is uit die boonste rakke! Die klein goedjies, soos 'n koeldrank met aankoms, 'n sjokolade wat jou nag wens met soete drome, komberse vir die koulikes tydens die wildrit en 'n heerlike koffie met koekies by die uitkykpunt - dit alles dra by tot 'n merkwaardige naweek. Snags steek hulle 'n lekker kuiervuur by die boma aan en soos genoem, voorsien komberse vir die koulikes in jou geselskap. Ons het tot laatnag nog daar gesit en kyk vir die blitse op die horison en die sterre. Ook beskik die boma oor genoeg braaigeriewe, so jy kan sommer gesellig daar braai, hoewel die chalets ook hul eie privaat braaigeriewe het. Verder aangaande die chalet: dit is puik toegerus vir 'n naweek-wegbreek met meer as voldoende potte en panne asook 'n goeie yskas. Die grasdak het gesorg dat dit koel bly. Ons het nooit nodig gehad om eens die dakwaaier aan te sit deur die dag nie en snags as dit afkoel, weereens was daar addisionele komberse vir die meer koulike gene. Die sonverhitte geyser het hom baie goed gekwyt van sy taak. Daar is 'n TV en ek dink hy het DStv, maar wie wil nou TV kyk as jy in die bosveld is? Ek sou definitief die 14:00 voer-wildrit aanbeveel. Dit is ongelooflik om te beleef hoe die wild net uit die bosse verskyn! Zebras, blouwildebees, koedoes, impalas, elande, ens. Toe ons met sononder 'n entjie gaan stap het, het ons ook kameelperde en vlakvarke gesien. Asemrowend! Die bosveld het bietjie swaar getrek met die droogte, maar die omgewing is steeds bitter mooi. Ons het ook gebruik gemaak van hul tafeltennis-geriewe, hoewel die wind bietjie woes gewaai het. Later toe dit bedaar het, het ons ook bietjie gaan inspring in die swembad. Die aand het ons bespreek om by die restaurant te eet - dit was net ek en my beminde wat 'n wonderlike privaat kersligete kon geniet! Hulle het vir ons 'n 4 gang-maaltyd voorgesit en ons het onsself trommeldik geknibbel. Mens moet net in gedagte hou, hulle verkoop nie drank op die perseel nie, so jy moet jou eie voorsien. Dit maak eintlik die rekening vir die uiteet so bietjie goedkoper. Die grondpad soontoe is dalk bietjie erg vir normale sedan-motors, tog kon ek dit met my VW Gholf Chico doen - moes net 30km/h ry. Best 4x4 by far. Wel, jy het darem nou nie 'n 4x4 nodig om die pad te ry nie. Soos genoem, 'n Golfie kon dit ry. Hulle sal ons definitief weer sien!

Beautiful picture!

The customer service is top notch! The little things, like a cold drink on arrival, a chocolate to wish you good night with sweet dreams, blankets for the cold ones during the game drive and a delicious coffee with cookies at the lookout - all this adds up to a remarkable weekend. At night, they light a nice bonfire at the boma and, as mentioned, provide blankets for the cold ones in your company. We sat there until late at night and watched the flashes on the horizon and the stars. The boma also has enough braai facilities, so you can just have a cozy braai there, although the chalets also have their own private braai facilities. Furthermore regarding the chalet: it is well equipped for a weekend getaway with more than enough pots and pans as well as a good fridge. The thatched roof kept it cool. We never needed to even turn on the ceiling fan during the day and at night when it cooled down, again there were additional blankets for the cooler genes. The sun-heated geyser did its job very well. There is a TV and I think it has DStv, but who wants to watch TV when you are in the bush? I would definitely recommend the 2pm feeding game drive. It is amazing to experience how the wildlife just appears from the bushes! Zebras, blue wildebeest, kudus, impalas, elk, etc. When we went for a short walk at sunset, we also saw giraffes and warthogs. Breathtaking! The woodland has suffered a bit with the drought, but the surroundings are still very beautiful. We also made use of their table tennis facilities, although the wind was blowing a bit fiercely. Later when it calmed down, we also went for a little jump in the pool. In the evening we booked to eat at the restaurant - it was just me and my love to enjoy a wonderful private Christmas light dinner! They served us a 4 course meal and we gorged ourselves. Just keep in mind, they don't sell liquor on the premises, so you have to provide your own. It actually makes the bill for eating out a little cheaper. The dirt road there might be a bit rough for normal sedan cars, but I could do it with my VW Golf Chico - only had to drive 30km/h. Best 4x4 by far. Well, at least you don't need a 4x4 to drive the road now. As mentioned, a Golfie could drive it. They will definitely see us again!

Salig!

Die verblyf was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Stil, rustige omgewing met kraakvars beddegoed, kwaliteit-kussings en -matrasse. Die plekke is baie skoon met 'n stortkop wat sterk spuit. Johan het ons op 'n wildrit gevat en dit is iets wat almal beslis moet meemaak. Ons het lekker gelag vir sy sêgoed. Jennifer het ons verwelkom met 'n warm lappie vir die hande en 'n lekker koue sap. Ons gaan beslis die hele familie volgende keer saamvat. Johan het vir ons 'n alternatiewe roete terug na Boksburg gegee wat 40 km korter is na Molemole toe - en ons was so verbaas oor die natuurskoon. Ons het gekom as vreemdelinge en gegaan as vriende. Johan en Jennifer, volgende keer gaan ons beslis julle etes probeer. Baie dankie weereens vir julle gasvryheid!

The accommodation was just what we needed. Quiet, peaceful area with fresh bedding and quality pillows and mattresses. The place is clean with a shower head that has good pressure. Johan took us on a game drive and this is something everyone should experience. We had such a good laugh at his jokes. Jennifer welcomed us with a warm cloth for our hands and nice cold juice. We will definitely take the whole family with next time. Johan advised us on an alternative route back to Boksburg, which is 40 km shorter to Molemole - we were so surprised at the natural beauty. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. Johan and Jennifer, next time we will definitely try your meals. Thank you so much once again for your hospitality.

Dankie aan Johan en Jen vir julle ongelooflike gasvryheid, ons het dit so geniet al was dit net die naweek gewees het dit gevoel of ons al jare vriende is. Die chalet was bo ons verwagtinge en die wildrit is 'n definitiewe moet saam met Johan. Ons sal vir altyd onthou die sjokolade elke aand voor slaap, dit was regtig bederf.

It was very nice. We relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. It is so peaceful and quiet. The break from the city was all we needed. The place is definitely on our list of getaway weekends. We will definitely go again.

Ideale plek om te gaan rus en die natuurlewe te geniet.

Die aandetes wat bedien word, is uitstekend, maar hopeloos te veel! Vier persone sou oorgenoeg kon eet uit wat voorberei is vir twee. Ek voel dat dit neerkom op vermorsing.

Ideal place to go and rest and enjoy nature.

The dinners they serve are excellent but way too much! Four people would have had more than enough to eat with what was prepared for two. I feel it's wasteful.

Hi
Ons etes wat ons voorberei is op 'n vasgestelde spyskaart en vasgestelde prys, so daar is nie eintlik te veel kos nie. Dit hang ook af van die mense wat die etes bespreek.
Vir ons is dit moeilik om te regte hoeveelheid kos gaar te maak want ons weet nie hoeveel die gaste gaan eet nie. Gewoonlik maak ons voorsiening vir twee porsies vir elke person van die verskillende geregte waaruit hulle kan kies om te eet.
Daar gaan geen kos vermors nie, want ons voer ook die Wilde katte met die oorskiet kos.
Weer eens, baie dankie, ons waardeer dit baie.
Cheers,
OPGR

Net die regte plek om te ontspan en weg te kom uit die stad se gejaag!

Ons het ons kort kuiertjie by Olievenfontein baie geniet! Ons sal verseker weer gaan kuier. Ons is gasvry ontvang en die wildrit was meer as wat ons verwag het. Johann het ons regtig baie vermaak met sy interessante staaltjies. Hoop om gou weer by julle te kom uitspan!

Die eenheid was baie mooi en netjies en die lodge is 'n lushof.

Met aankoms het ons 'n warm lappie vir ons hande gekry en die bestuur het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons eenheid was silwerskoon en die uitleg baie prakties en oulik. Die braai-area is baie lekker en die groot stoep met gemaklike meubels het ons baie geniet. Die diere wat kom drink met die groot boma waar vuur gemaak is was die kersie op die koek.

The unit was very nice and tidy and the lodge is a loop court.

On arrival we got a warm cloth for our hands and the management made us feel very welcome. Our unit was spotless and the layout very practical and cute. The braai area is very nice and we really enjoyed the large veranda with comfortable furniture. The animals that came to drink with the big boma where the fire was made were the icing on the cake.

Elke oomblik was perfek!

Pragtige rit na Olievenfontein. Warm en gasvrye verwelkoming met sap en warm lappies vir die koue hande. Pragtige lodge, goed onderhoude chalets, blou swembaddens, groen grasperke ... waarlik 'n idilliese bosveld-venue. Die chalets is pragtig. Die beddens en linne slaap soos 'n droom. Die staf kom maak elke aand jou kamer gereed. Die diere word smiddags gevoer voor die boma. So 'n verskeidenheid wild! Daar is te min tyd om alles te beskryf wat Olievenfontein mens bied. O die boma in die aand onder die sterre! Dankie Jennifer en Johan vir julle gasvryheid, die wildrit was fantasties en so ook die groot ontbyt!

Beautiful drive to Olievenfontein. Warm welcome on arrival with juice and warm cloths for our cold hands. Beautiful lodge, well-maintained chalets, clear blue swimming pools, green lawns ... Truly the ideal bushveld venue. The chalets are beautiful. The beds and the linen is like a dream. The staff prepares your room every evening. The animals are fed every afternoon by the boma and there is such a variety of game! There isn't enough time to describe everything that Olievenfontein offers to guest. The boma at night under the stars! Thank you Jennifer and Johan for your hospitality, the game drive was fantastic as well as the big breakfast!

Neat and nice, but little to do for the price you pay.

Place is nice and clean. Service is great. Only feel for R1500 per night breakfast could have been included as well as a fire lit. Don't think there can only be a fire on Saturdays. R1500 is worth the same on Saturday or Friday?

Heerlik. Wildsoorte egter min.

Die diens was uit die boonste rakke en Jen en Johan het uit hul pad gegaan om Chris se verjaarsdag vir hom onvergeetlik te maak. Die ontbyt het nie aan 4-ster-vereistes voldoen nie, maar was nogtans lekker. 'n Ander sakie wat my baie na aan die hart lê is die vuil watergat. Ek is deeglik bewus van die min water, maar selfs die diere was nie baie gretig om van die water te drink nie en dit was natuurlik by die dam wat buite sig is. Indien die watergat skoongemaak word (daar is baie mis in die water en die vlak is laag) sal daar vir seker meer diere by die watergat wees. Nogtans 'n baie aangename paar dae wat ons baie geniet het. Dankie aan veral Jennifer. Sy is 'n ster!

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Delicious. Game species, however, few.

The service was top notch and Jen and Johan went out of their way to make Chris's birthday unforgettable. The breakfast did not meet 4-star requirements, but was still tasty. Another bag that is very close to my heart is the dirty watering hole. I am well aware of the scarcity of water, but even the animals were not very keen to drink some of the water and of course it was at the dam which is out of sight. If the water hole is cleaned (there is a lot of fog in the water and the level is low) there will certainly be more animals at the water hole. Nevertheless, a very pleasant few days that we really enjoyed. Thanks to Jennifer in particular. She is a star!

Dear Alwyna

Good morning,
Thank you for your kind advices regarding the efforts of our Management Team, we know that they really do go all out hosting guests at OPGR, and we know how much they try to make every special moment a little more special than usual, like you experienced with Chris' Birthday. It is true, Jen and Johan truly are gems.
With regard to your thoughts on our Waterhole, we are rather upset that you felt this way, and want to assure you that every effort is made to keep the Reserve in a state that befits the wild and that pleases those that come to view our Game on the Reserve.
To this end, let me assure you, our team under the direction of Johan, attends to the complete cleaning of the waterhole and the area that surrounds it, each week. As we try our best to have our Game come up each day to drink and to eat the feed blocks and Lucerne that we place in that area.
None-the-less, I have already taken your comments up with Johan and he assures me that they will inspect and make right anything found in an unacceptable state.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to enlighten us.
We look forward to your visiting us again.
Best regards.
Dawood.

This private game reserve is extremely beautiful, spotlessly clean and the enviroment is very tranquil. We were welcomed so warmly and given a great service throughout our stay. The staff were all very helpful and always smiling. I do not know how to even thank Jeniffer and Johan, they were absolutely amazing, even after we left they still enquired about our safety and whether we arrived back home safely, I mean how many companies do that? We really got our monies worth and they even exceeded our expectation. Thank you very much to the staff of Olievensfontein reserve.

Dit was 'n fantastiese lekker naweek!

Dit is in 'n pragtige, rustige en skoon omgewing. Vandat ons daar aangekom het tot ons daar weg is, was die diens uitstekend. Die akkommodasie was netjies en baie skoon. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam siende dat ons 'n groot groep was. Ek sal vir seker weer soontoe gaan en dit ook vir ander mense aanbeveel. Olievensfontein sit definitief bietjie ekstra in om die tyd daar onvergeetlik te maak soos bv. met die voorbereiding van die kamers as die son sak, en die moeite met die komberse en groot vuur by die boma elke aand.

Olievensfontein definitely invests a little extra to make the time there unforgettable, such as e.g. with the preparation of the rooms when the sun goes down, and the trouble with the blankets and big fire at the boma every night.

Gasvry en uitstekende diens, rustige atmosfeer, ontspannend.

Ongelukkig het die weer nie saamgespeel toe ons daar was nie, maar dit is regtig 'n beeldskone plek. Ideaal as mens vir 'n naweek wil wegkom om te ontspan. Daar is nie baie om te doen daar nie, dus dalk nie vir mense wat lank bly of te veel wil doen nie. Ontspan rustig op die stoep met die diere meters van jou chalet af. Pragtige swembad.

Hospitable and excellent service, peaceful atmosphere, relaxing.

Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate when we were there, but it really is a beautiful place. Ideal if you want to get away for a weekend to relax. There is not much to do there, so maybe not for people who are staying long or want to do too much. Relax quietly on the porch with the animals meters from your chalet. Beautiful swimming pool.

Gasvryheid was wonderlik. Netjies en skoon. Baie rustig, presies wat mens verlang.

By aankoms was die ontvangs warm, dankie Jennifer. Die vakansie was stil, net waarna ek verlang het. Die plekkie was silwerskoon, presies waarna ek altyd uitkyk as ek op vakansie gaan. Die wit linne en skoon kombuis was puik. Die swembad potblou net soos op die prentjie en die wild in goeie kondisie. Ons het heerlik gaan stap tussen kameelperde, vlakvarkies, sebras en bokkies. In die aande was daar vir ons 'n massiewe kampvuur gemaak om net te ontspan. Alles was 100%, daar is niks wat mens kan kritiseer nie. Dankie Jennifer en Johan vir uitstekende verblyf. Julle doen 'n wonderlike taak om die reservaat in so 'n goeie kondisie te bestuur.

Hospitality was great. Neat and clean. Very peaceful, exactly what you want.

On arrival the reception was warm, thank you Jennifer. The holiday was quiet, just what I wanted. The place was spotless, exactly what I always look for when I go on holiday. The white linen and clean kitchen were great. The pool pot blue just like in the picture and the game in good condition. We had a wonderful walk among giraffes, warthogs, zebras and goats. In the evenings there was a massive campfire made for us to just relax. Everything was 100%, there is nothing one can criticize. Thank you Jennifer and Johan for an excellent stay. You are doing a wonderful job of managing the reserve in such good condition.

Huweliksherdenking-naweek.

Netjiese lodge, vriendelike personeel. Nie baie aktiwiteite nie, maar dit was juis waarna mens soek vir 'n afskakel-naweek. Nie nodig vir wildrit nie, aangesien jy al die wildsoorte op die plaas direk van jou stoep/swembad af sien. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Wedding anniversary weekend.

Neat lodge, friendly staff. Not many activities, but it was exactly what one was looking for for a switch off weekend. No need for a game drive, as you see all the game species on the farm directly from your veranda/swimming pool. Would definitely recommend it.

Ons is 'n gesin met 3- en 4-jarige kinders, wat dit baie keer ongemaklik maak by reservate, maar by Olievenfontein het ons regtig baie gemaklik gevoel. Die huisie waarin ons gebly het, was pragtig. Die blyplekke word baie goed in stand gehou en versorg.

Heerlik ontspannend.

Ons het die plek maklik gekry. Ons is vriendelik gegroet en na die kamer vergesel. Die verblyf was luuks met oorgenoeg spasie. Ons het twee wildritte onderneem wat die plasie mooi vertoon het. Ons het ook baie rondgestap en kon diere van relatief naby sien. Ons het oulike voëls gesien, o.a. die oranjekeelkalkoentjie, en swart eende. Die gasheer, Johan, het met kennis gepraat oor die fauna en flora en hy kon alle vrae beantwoord. Jennifer het 'n heerlike ete voorgesit een aand. Ons het heerlik en rustig gekuier, al het die weer ons 'n bietjie gekortwiek. Mens sien baie diere van binne die omheining, so mens hoef jou geensins te vermoei nie.

Deliciously relaxing.

We found the place easily. We were greeted kindly and escorted to the room. The accommodation was luxurious with ample space. We took two game drives which showed off the village beautifully. We also walked around a lot and were able to see animals relatively close. We saw cute birds, e.o. the orange-throated turkey, and black ducks. The host, Johan, spoke with knowledge about the fauna and flora and he was able to answer all questions. Jennifer hosted a delicious meal one night. We had a wonderful and peaceful visit, even if the weather let us down a bit. You see many animals from inside the enclosure, so you don't have to tire yourself at all.

Baie netjiese plek.

Al voorstel is wat ek kan maak dat die mense jou moet waarsku indien daar groot groepe bespreek dieselfde naweek as wat jy bespreek. Ons het die geval gehad dat daar 'n groep van 14 mense was en kompleet buite beheer was en bestuur het niks daaromtrent gedoen nie. Ek sou daarvan wou weet voor die tyd en sou heel waarskynlik my naweek uitgestel het na 'n ander naweek toe.

Very neat place.

The only suggestion I can make is that the people should warn you if there are large groups booking the same weekend as you are booking. We had the case where there was a group of 14 people and it was completely out of control and management did nothing about it. I would have known about it ahead of time and most likely would have postponed my weekend to another weekend.

The setting is beautiful and peaceful and the staff are very nice. However, the next door patio looked directly into the main bedroom and on the other side the kitchen looked into the second bedroom. Thatch is very dark and so you couldn't keep the curtains closed all the time to maintain privacy.

Verblyf was skoon, veilig, mooi en die uitsig oor bos was kalmerend.

Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang. Die huisie is goed toegerus en baie gerieflik. Ons het met ons baba gegaan, hulle het vir ons 'n kot en badjie in die huisie gesit. Ons het elke aand gebraai en die wild besigtig wat die watergat besoek. Rus vir jou siel ...

We were received very kindly. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. We went with our baby, they put a cot and bath for us in the house. We barbecued every night and watched the wildlife that visited the watering hole. Rest for your soul...

Rustige, pragtige verblyf!

Olievenfontein is 'n heerlike plek vir groepe wat net wil kuier en ontspan. Die fasiliteite is wonderlik, en die groot huis "Giraffe" is so ruim dat niemand ooit op mekaar se tone sal trap nie. Johan en Jennifer gaan uit hul pad om jou tuis te laat voel, en ons sal vir seker weer daar 'n kuiertjie inpas. Dankie dat julle jul lieflike plek met ons deel en vir jul gasvryheid.

Ons is nie wildritte gegun nie.

Verblyf was baie netjies en skoon gewees. Mooi geleë en regtig geen klagtes i.v.m. die slaapplek nie. Ek is net baie teleurgesteld in hulle kliëntediens met betrekking tot die wildritte en hoe hulle dit hanteer het. Ons het gevra dat ons op 'n wildrit wou gaan (het vooraf bespreek) maar was nooit die kans gegun nie. Ons het 'n piekniek bespreek wat toe uitgereën het die oggend, maar sou gedink het dat ons wel later die dag 'n wildrit gegun sou word. Ek het gaan kla op hulle Facebook-blad, net om later te sien dat hulle dit verwyder het en ek geblok is. Wat is dit vir kliëntediens!

We were not given game drives.

Stay was very neat and clean. Nicely located and really no complaints regarding not the place to sleep. I am just very disappointed in their customer service regarding the game drives and how they handled it. We asked to go on a game drive (booked in advance) but were never given the chance. We had booked a picnic which then rained in the morning, but would have thought that we would be given a game drive later that day. I went to complain on their Facebook page, only to find later that they had removed it and I was blocked. What is this for customer service!

Dit was 'n fantasmagoriese belewenis.

Die mooiste uitsig op wild. Die mooiste groen grasperke om chalets. Alles pragtig skoon. En jy word baie bederf met 'n sjokolade elke aand op jou bedkussing. Die vriendelikste personeel wat 'n mens dadelik tuis en ontspanne laat voel. Ons verblyf was onvergeetlik. Dis 'n plek waarna ons altyd sal terug keer. Dis baie veilig en self ons kinders het dit ontsettend baie geniet. Die mooiste mooiste uitsig oor wild en wild drinkplekke. Daar is 'n speelarea op die groot grasgroen grasperke, die baie bederf met sjokolades en die baie vriendelike personeel. Ons het nie eens 1 keer ons chalet hoef te gesluit het vir die tydperk wat ons daar was nie so veilig het ons gevoel. Selfs met beurtkrag was daar nie 'n probleem nie. Doen so voort Olievenfontein. Ons is net so bly oor die feit dat ons in ons taal Afrikaans gehelp kon word. Ons sal definitief weer van jul verblyf gebruik maak.

It was a phantasmagorical experience.

The most beautiful view of wildlife. The most beautiful green lawns around chalets. Everything beautifully clean. And you are very spoiled with a chocolate every night on your bed pillow. The friendliest staff who make you feel immediately at home and relaxed. Our stay was unforgettable. It's a place we will always return to. It's very safe and even our children really enjoyed it. The most beautiful view of wildlife and wildlife drinking spots. There is a play area on the large grass green lawns, the many treats with chocolates and the very friendly staff. We didn't even have to lock our chalet once for the period we were there so we felt safe. Even with load shedding there was no problem. Keep it up Olievenfontein. We are just as happy about the fact that we could be helped in our language Afrikaans. We will definitely use your accommodation again.

A wonderful stay for both grown ups and children.

Another truly amazing and relaxing experience for us. Our son and nephew got to explore the reserve on their bikes and swam till they were totally exhausted. The evenings by the bonfire are always something to look forward to. Just relax with a glass of wine watching the stars and animals at the waterhole. We got back home rejuvenated and ready to face the working world again. Thanks to Jen, Johan and their team.

Die gasheer en -vrou is vreeslike aangename mense. Ons het `n paar diere gesien en gaan stap. Die plek was baie besonders. Lekker uitgerus. Pad na die lodge toe was op plekke weggespoel so `n viertrek voertuig is tog beter, maar daar was ander besoekers met gewone karre ook.

A wonderful balance of a bush experience without negating yourself of the luxuries of life.

Wonderful chalets with everything you need. Hosts who are there when you need them - but only then. Staff who are friendly whenever you meet them. Animals that are graceful in the veld, if not right in front of you. A privileged experience indeed!

Ek sal die reservaat vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat wil wegkom vir die naweek uit die besige stad. Die huisie was ten volle toegerus en dit was heerlik om in die aand buite te sit om 'n groot kampvuur en te kyk na die sterre.

So perfect for a bush experience and the staff are so friendly and caring

Although we arrived extremely late, Jennifer never showed a sign of discomfort or irritation. She still checked on us to see if we were okay (on our way to the farm). Our overall stay was just too perfect. Got so difficult to leave the house, we even missed our Game drives on 2 occasions due to how lovely everything inside the accommodation is.

Onvergeetlik! 'n Vriendelike en warm atmosfeer in die rustige natuur!

Vyfster-verblyf by 'n vierster-wildplaas! Jennifer en Johan se gasvryheid herinner aan 'n outydse plaaskuier. Die vuur in die boma Saterdagaand maak selfs ons bejaardes romanties. Welgedaan!

Unforgettable! A friendly and warm atmosphere in peaceful nature!

Five-star accommodation at a four-star game farm! Jennifer and Johan's hospitality is reminiscent of an old-fashioned farm visit. The fire in the boma on Saturday night makes even us elderly romantic. Well done!

Rustig!

'n Pragtige Lodge met 'n rustige atmosfeer wat kinders ook geniet. Dit is baie lekker om te kan rondstap in die bos en self te voet die diere te sien. Dit is heerlik om op jou stoep te sit, die stilte te ervaar en na die pragtige natuurskoon te kyk. Die grondpad tot by die Lodge is ongelukkig 'n stresvolle ervaring! Maar dan kan jy lekker afsluit wanneer jy die pragtige grasperke, swembad en gerieflike, goed-toegeruste blyplek binnetree. Skoon en goed opgepaste verblyf. Het regtig lekker gebly!

Restful!

A beautiful Lodge with a peaceful atmosphere that children also enjoy. It is very nice to be able to walk around in the forest and see the animals yourself. It is wonderful to sit on your porch, experience the silence and look at the beautiful scenery. The dirt road to the Lodge is unfortunately a stressful experience! But then you can finish well when you enter the beautiful lawns, swimming pool and comfortable, well-equipped accommodation. Clean and well maintained accommodation. Had a really nice stay!

Dit was 'n belewenis buite die wêreld!

Ons het nie baie tyd gehad om ons wittebrood te hou nie as gevolg van werksverpligtinge, maar die naweek wat ons by Olievenfontein spandeer het, het ons 'n leeftyd se herhinneringe besorg. Van die oomblik dat ons daar aangekom het en vir Jennifer en Johan ontmoet het, was dit asof ons in 'n ander leeftyd ingestap het. Ons is soos "Royalty" behandel en alles wat ons voor gevra het, was daar én nog baie meer. Ons chalet was so romanties versier, en Jen het uit haar pad gegaan deur vir ons Red Velvet cupcakes te bak ... en was dit nou lekker ... beter as enige cupcakes wat ek nog geëet het. Die beste ding van alles was die wild wat reg op ons voorstoep was: sebras, impalas, kameelperde, koedoes en die pragtigste vlakvarkies saam met hulle mamma. Ons is die volgende dag op 'n wildsrit saam met Johan, en die man se vermoë om wild in die digte bosse raak te sien, het my verstom. Die berge en velde, blomme en ander plante was asemrowend gewees. Toe, asof dit nog nie genoeg was nie, kom ons by die uitkykpunt aan en "wow" is al wat ek kan sê. Dit het letterlik my asem weggeslaan. Johan het ons daar afgelaai en vir ons 'n heerlike piekniekmandjie gelos wat Jen voorberei het. Goeie genade, kan die vrou kook! Daar was letterlik iets van alles (dankie vir die ekstra koffie Jen, dit was 'n wenner, ons het so baie en lekker geëet. Regtig waarde vir jou geld en 'n moet as jy by Olievenfontein gaan kuier. Later die aand het Jen vir ons 'n baie privaat en romantiese ete voorgesit. Weereens was alles voortreflik gewees en bo enige van ons verwagtinge. Baie, baie dankie aan Jen, Johan en ook die baie professionele personeel by Olievenfontein. Ons kom definitief weer vir julle kuier, met die hele familie volgende keer. Dankie vir die pragtige herhinneringe wat julle almal ons help maak het; ons sal julle altyd dankbaar wees en altyd met liefde en deernis onthou.

It was an experience out of the world!

We didn't have much time to spend our honeymoon due to work commitments, but the weekend we spent at Olievenfontein gave us a lifetime of memories. From the moment we arrived and met Jennifer and Johan, it was as if we had stepped into another lifetime. We were treated like "Royalty" and everything we asked for was there and much more. Our chalet was decorated so romantically, and Jen went out of her way to bake us Red Velvet cupcakes...and were they delicious...better than any cupcakes I've ever eaten. The best thing of all was the wildlife that was right on our doorstep: zebras, impalas, giraffes, kudus and the most beautiful warthogs with their mum. The next day we went on a game drive with Johan, and the man's ability to spot game in the thick woods amazed me. The mountains and fields, flowers and other plants had been breathtaking. Then, as if that wasn't enough, we arrived at the viewpoint and "wow" is all I can say. It literally took my breath away. Johan dropped us off there and left us a delicious picnic basket that Jen had prepared. Good grace, the woman can cook! There was literally something of everything (thanks for the extra coffee Jen, it was a winner, we ate so much and deliciously. Really value for money and a must if you visit Olievenfontein. Later that evening Jen treated us to a very private and romantic meal. Once again everything was excellent and beyond any of our expectations. Many, many thanks to Jen, Johan and also the very professional staff at Olievenfontein. We will definitely come to visit you again, with the whole family next time.Thank you for the beautiful memories you all helped us make, we will always be grateful and always remember you with love and compassion.

Olivenfontein was an excellent stay for me and friends, especially the comfort, cleanliness and customer service we received.My friends and I, we would visit the place again definitely. The most outstanding service was for the ladies who cleaned and changes our sheets, towels and washing our dishes. Wow! It was a great stay indeed. Thanks to also Jennifer and Johan for your patience and your kindness! Moreover, thanks a lot to Shirley Ngamlana from TravelGround, everything was easy for us because of you and your efforts.

Dit was onbeskryflik waar baie lekker en gerieflik.

Jen en Johan laat mens vinnig tuis voel. Die werkers selfs baie vriendlik en behulpsaam. Al was die krag af asgevolg van die swaer weer was dit puik hanteer en hule het seker gemaak da was n fles met warm water in die oggend vir 'n koppie koffie. Het dit baie geniet sal beslis weer gaan. Besonderse mooi plek en so gerieflik. Verlang somer alklaar terug na die stilte.

It was indescribable where very nice and comfortable.

Jen and Johan quickly make you feel at home. The workers even very friendly and helpful. Even though the power was off due to the sweltering weather, it was handled great and they made sure there was a flask with hot water in the morning for a cup of coffee. Really enjoyed it will definitely go again. Particularly beautiful place and so comfortable. Longing for summer to return to the silence.

The stay was comfortable, service was attentive.

Not having power on 2 out of the 2 morning we booked was not great, but the staff did as much as they could to be helpful. Water pressure in the shower was poor in both units that my group stayed in. Otherwise, very comfortable.

Asemrowend, fantasties en onbeskryflik wonderlik.

Johan en Jennifer is amazing gashere. Johan se kennis van die natuur is so leersaam. Ons is op die hande gedra vandat ons daar aangekom het. Die personeel is so bedagsaam en behulpsaam. Die eerste kans wat ek het om weer weg te gaan sal ek Olievenfontein toe gaan. Die rus, die vrede, die voëls wat sing, hulle sang wat eggo deur die bos, die wild wat kom pronk vir foto's by die watergat wat amper op my stoep lê ... Asemrowend, fantasties en onbeskryflik wonderlik.

Breathtaking, fantastic and indescribably wonderful.

Johan and Jennifer are amazing hosts. Johan's knowledge of nature is so instructive. We were taken care of from the moment we got there. The staff are so considerate and helpful. The first chance I have to leave again I will go to Olievenfontein. The rest, the peace, the birds singing, their song echoing through the forest, the wildlife that comes to show off for photos at the water hole that lies almost on my porch... Breathtaking, fantastic and indescribably wonderful.

Absoluut soos konings behandel! Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring in 'n pragtige omgewing!

Baie dankie Johan en Jennifer, julle het ons verblyf absoluut die moeite werd gemaak, ons is bederf soos konings en die aandag aan detail soos sjokolade op die kussings elke aand en LekkeSlaap-wense, is 'n groot bederf. Ook al die inligting t.o.v. die omgewing asook die plaas is 'n bonus. Ons hoop om weer terug te keer en sal Olievenfontein (wat 'n pragtige naam) by almal aanbeveel!

Also all the information regarding the surroundings as well as the farm are a bonus. We hope to return again and will recommend Olievenfontein (what a beautiful name) to everyone!

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet. Dit is lekker in die bosveld, baie skoon en netjies, en die geriewe is stunning! Die kinders was mal oor die swembad. Ons sal beslis weer gaan, volgende keer vat ons klomp vriende saam, want daar is 'n lieflike groot boma!

A definite must to visit !

My wife and I went to Olievenfontein for he first time during May 2013. Loved it so much that we wanted to share it with our family. Took the family there from the 21st to the 23rd September this year and they absolutely loved it! Once again, Johan and Jennifer were the perfect hosts. This will most likely become our annual accommodation of choice.

Dit is soos om in die hemel te wees!

Ons het 'n fantastiese naweek deurgebring by Olievenfontein. Jennifer en Johan is great mense wat uit hul pad gegaan het om ons verblyf iets te maak om te onthou! Die lodge self is pragtig en mooi uiteengesit en verskaf regtig die stilte wat die stad nie bied nie. Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad en sal beslis met die eerste geleentheid terug gaan. Volgende keer bly ons net langer!

Next time we'll just stay longer!

Rustig en netjies.

Ons kan Olievenfontein aanbeveel vir 'n kort wegbreek. Die wooneenhede is baie netjies, en die kombuis is goed uitgerus (hierdie is uit en uit 'n selfsorg-reservaat). Die personeel het ook goeie diens gelewer. Bring net genoeg drink- en eetgoed saam, die winkeltjie het net die nodigste (geen drank word op die perseel verkoop nie).

We can recommend Olievenfontein for a short break. The living units are very neat, and the kitchen is well equipped (this is a fully self-catering reserve). The staff also provided good service. Just bring enough food and drink with you, the little shop only has the essentials (no alcohol is sold on the premises).

See animals up close - fridge not too clean

Good open fresh air, nice to see animals so close up. There is not enough hot water in cold months. Game drive was good. The fact that the fridge was not cleaned in a very long time made me a bit dubious of their cleanliness standard.

Very pleasant, comfortable and relaxing stay

Very pleasant stay at Olievenfontein). Client service is excellent and staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Cottage very comfortable and the ability to sit on your own stoep and watch the game at the water hole puts you in the holiday vibe. Great venue for walking and mountain bike (various mtb tracks). inside the reserve, ranging from beginner to technical and I also had a great ride on the dirt roads surrounding the reserve).nnThank you! n

Ons het 'n baie rustige en ontspanne famielie naweek geniet.

Olievenfontein is 'n baie goeie plek om weg te kom van die gejaag van n stadslewe. Die geriewe is netjies en gemaklik. Die persoonlike aandag van die bestuur was ook welkom. Daar is ook genoeg vir klein kinders om te doen. Die wildsritte was baie informatief met verskillende diere en plantsoorte. Baie dankie aan almal by die reservaat wat ons tyd daar n plesier gemaak het.

On our list of monthly weekends away. This was the cherry on top. We really enjoy it there. Johan and Jen are great hosts. Jen goes out of her way to ensure your stay is comfortable. All the staff were so friendly and very helpful. So to bird watchers this is a birding spot to be discovered with easy hiking trails. We counted 30 species in one morning hike. Frik and Ellie

The perfect palce to get away to unwind.

This is a must visit place for anyone wanting to get away from the city , just to unwind, relax and recharge. The staff are amazing and will help you with all your needs. The chalets are very well equipped and you will need nothing. You will leave feeling like a new person!!

Absolutely Stunning!!! :)

Started off with a wonderful welcome, absolutely great chalets. Animals close enough to really make the view fantastic. Was so relaxing, and we would definitely go back there as well as recommending it to people we know.
