A must stay! My girlfriend and I stayed in the Olive’s Cottage just for 2 nights at the end of our CapeTown 2 week travel and I had wished we’d been there for at least a week. Doreen, family and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The instructions for everything are easily laid out. It’s a very streamlined experience. All the positive features mentioned in the previous comments are true. As others I was impressed by the design features. Not only did it look good but so many elements were functional and well placed. There was a lot of thought put into the rooms and the grounds in general and that thoroughness provides a very pleasant easy going time.

A lot of places in Cape Town don’t use AC. The cottage stayed relatively cool. It was around 30 C (85-88F) during our stay and we slept fine with the windows slightly open. There was a fan if necessary.

There’s great shops, fashion and restaurants in walking distance. I hope you have a good experience too.
