untether on Olive View

Peaceful, beautiful spot to relax and unwind. Stunning view from the bedroom. Excellent quality finishes and equipment. Great comms from the guest team.

The bedroom is nippy in winter (due to all the glass) so pack warm clothing. We struggled a bit with the wood (wet) and fire lighters (candles) so bring some extra just in case!

Everything we needed, super comfortable bed nice finishes no expense spared.

Our stay at Untether on Olive was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into one of the most beautiful and thoughtfully designed spaces we’ve ever experienced. The atmosphere is private, peaceful, and perfectly curated for relaxation. What truly stood out was the sense of seclusion – it feels like your own little world away from everything, making it ideal for couples looking to reconnect and unwind. Every detail of the space adds to the experience, from the stylish finishes to the calming ambience. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you can genuinely enjoy meaningful moments with your loved one without distractions. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already planning our return.

Nothing everything was 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.
