Olive Grove Guest Farm

The location is good, the host is friendly, and the food is tasty. Nothing negative.

“Clean comfortable great staff good value”

The location is excellent, secluded yet easy to reach, with magnificent stars and a Karoo sky.

“Not what I expected 😭😞”

I booked from 29 to 31 March 2026; this was my third visit and my previous trips were all great, but this time was horrible. Normally they text a gate code on arrival, but no message came. We waited at the gate and had to call three different numbers to let them know we were there; eventually they called back with the code. Cabin 7 needed serious upgrading: bathroom tiles were broken, the shower cap was in poor condition, and water leaked onto the door when showering, so I had to use a towel to dry after each shower. The kitchen tap was outdated and splashed water every time, soaking my clothes. Kitchenware was very limited—only four tiny pots, no pans—making it impractical for a stay longer than two days. The TV remote was hard to use, and Wi‑Fi was unstable. Many small cabin issues needed fixing. I expected a clean pool for the warm days, but the bottom was dirty and slimy, with giant ants floating and crawling on the tiles; I spent less than half an hour in it. The pool chairs were dirty and dusty, and bird droppings covered everything. No complimentary toiletries or small items that were present on previous visits were missing, showing no effort or thought. I booked these two days for my husband’s birthday, hoping to recreate the good memories from past stays, but nothing positive comes to mind. The only good thing was the peace and quiet, away from city life. Beaufort West will not see me again soon, and I feel I wasted money on this trip far from home.

“The overnight stay was good.”

They only serve breakfast at nine, so I didn’t have breakfast. Some maintenance is required.

“Convenient stopover and lovely peaceful setting.”

The dinner was amazing, but when we got there the farm had been without electricity for over a week because of a storm, and the power had only just come back when we arrived. The room we’d booked was unavailable, yet the alternative they offered was perfect except the fridge needed a clean. It would have helped to be warned about the issue beforehand. The swimming pool area also needed attention. This farm has great potential, but some work is required. Despite everything, we would stay again.
