We loved staying at this very special place!!! First of all the whole property is amazing and has such a beautiful green garden. We felt like if we stayed in the property for a day it would have felt like being in the countryside instead of the city. Everything is so green, there are birds and its very quiet. That is a funny thing because if you leave the house you will see that its located in one of the hottest areas in Cape Town. The Kloof St is really cool, it has plenty super good restaurants and cafés. We went there for dinner a lot and loved the Kloof Street House. The Long Street & Bree Street are also fun for going out in the evenings and we enjoyed that Olive's Cottage was so close to everything. Beside the location, the house and especially the cottage we stayed in were beautiful!!! The interior is just so special and delicate. You can tell that Doreen has a extraordinary taste in design. I would describe it as a mix between relaxed countryside elegance meeting modern scandinavian design. But you can notice the SA influence aswell everywhere which we liked a lot. We loved this creative and special interior!!! Doreen's family is just lovely. They made us feel at home and welcome in the very second. The dog and cats who came by from time to time sweetened every day for us. Her husband gave us some great advice for the garden route :) The staff was also extremely polite and always helpful. Thanks so much to Robert for helping us and to his lovely wife for the laundry. Special thanks aswell to Doreen's daughter who caters the cottages. We never (and i mean never) had such a good and healthy breakfast!!! Fresh juice with ginger, fruits, eggs, pancakes, bakon, beans ect. - everything you could ask for in the best qualtity. For me one of the definite highlights of our trip! And she was very nice too :) and at last but not least: Doreen herself - she is the perfect host. We felt so comfortable and welcome. Thank you so much!!! She welcomed us with wine, ham and olives and was present everyday :) So as you can see it was the perfect stay and we will definetely come back!!!!!
