untether on Olive View

All around a great experience. Amenities, sauna, hot tub were all really great. Views were gorgeous, very comfy lounge chairs. We had a great time

Beautiful setting

The location, the attention to detail in the accommodation. Such a comfortable bed with beautiful linen and accessories

They need a small table in the bathroom for toiletries bags. A small round table like the one in the lounge or the patio would be perfect

Well furnished cabin with quality kitchen equipment, comfy bed and fantastic braai, pizza oven and outdoor deck. Very friendly and helpful team on site who helped to quickly fix our broken fridge and turn around some laundry for us. The concept is excellent but we weren’t able to fully enjoy our stay, primarily because of the location and associated weather (see below).

The final section of road leading to Olive View has parallel strips of loose bricks which were just about passable in our VW Polo. We didn’t feel comfortable using the car during our stay as we were concerned about the risk of punctures - I wouldn’t recommend staying here without an SUV or similar (needs to be mentioned in booking site). Anticipating from other comments that this could be an issue, we came prepared with enough food for our complete stay (4 days). However, the biggest issue was the wind on this hilltop - it was gale force and blew for 3/4 of our stay - very noisy all day and night and preventing use of the outdoor facilities over this period. The window blinds do not block all sunlight so the unit also heats up quickly in the day and the aircon switches off automatically in the evening (not mentioned in the booking site) which made sleep difficult at times. Other niggles included no door to the en-suite toilet so sounds/ smells enter the bedroom and a section of the onsite walking trail being very overgrown. Arrive in calmer, cooler weather, in an SUV and you would have a better experience.
