Quiet neighbourhood, walking distance to town, well stocked kitchen.

Would have appreciated instructions for gas hob and oven; also whether gate and garage had battery backup; complimentary wine was a nice touch and the host very helpful. Garden a little untidy.

Comfortable, spacious with the best "kuier" stoep ever.

The kitchen had all you needed and more. Will definitely be back!

Was a lovely but short stay.

The stay was lovely, the house was very comfortable and the hosts made the arrangements very easy for us. We will definitely return!

Very luxurious and comfortable guesthouse.

We had a wonderful stay in this more-than-complete self-catering guest house in Riebeek Kasteel. Luxurious and elegant. We should have stayed longer.

Friendly, most welcoming and hands-on hostess.

Extremely well-equipped, clean and spacious house. Excellent quality bed linen and towels, very comfortable beds. Walking distance or a short drive to town and a variety of good shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, location on rather busy secondary main street with frequent, disturbing heavy-duty traffic on the mid-weekdays we stayed. However, in our opinion, comparatively somewhat overpriced.

'n Heerlike plek om 'n paar dae uit te span.

'n Baie lekker blyplek - baie goed en mooi ingerig en uiters netjies en skoon. Goed geleë in 'n stil omgewing, maar naby genoeg aan winkels en eetplekke.

A wonderful place to spend a few days.

A very nice place to stay - very well and nicely furnished and extremely neat and clean. Well located in a quiet area, but close enough to shops and eateries.

Fantastiese ervaring.

'n Ongelooflike mooi, moderne huis met alle denkbare geriewe en 'n pragtige tuin. Dis sentraal geleë in Riebeek-Kasteel, binne loopafstand van die winkels, supermark en restaurante. Die bestuurderes was uitstekend en het goed vir ons gesorg.

An incredibly beautiful, modern house with all imaginable facilities and a beautiful garden. It is centrally located in Riebeek-Kasteel, within walking distance of the shops, supermarket and restaurants. The drivers were excellent and took good care of us.

We loved our stay in Olive Retreat. A lovely house and we will be back.

Olive Retreat is a lovely house in the lovely Riebeek-Kasteel. We would love to head back to explore the area some more and enjoy what this beautiful part of the world has to offer.
