The Olive Tree Villa

Wonderful comfortable accommodation in the best location. We were greeted most heartily and we lacked nothing. There's nothing here that can be improved. In a word: PERFECT

Nothing

This space is beautifully curated, the host warm and welcoming, and the little touches very heartwarming.

It’s beautiful its well furnished it’s superb to say the least this place is perfect a little heaven

Nothing, going home is the hardest

Well appointed, comfortable, great host attention to detail, little extras (coffee pods, welcome gift, warm baked surprise

not much, needs better lighting

Property is stunningly located on the beach front at Yzerfontein with direct access down to the beach - the view from the downstairs apartment is directly looking out to the ocean. The host, Karin and her team, wer exceptionally welcoming and communication was excellent - from a whatsapp prior to arrival with a location pin and parking, to meeting you on arrival and showing you around the apartment. The apartment is of an extremely high standard - high end appliances, stunning Mervyn Gers ceramic crockery (if you know you know!), a nespresso machine etc. There is a little nook with a comfy sofa and the tv has DSTV, netflix, electric blanket, plenty of charging ports, a wood burner fire with logs. All in all, myself and my daughter had a delightful, restful stay. Yzerfontein itself is quiet and peaceful. We went for supper at the new restaurant, The Beach House (you can book on dineplan) and it was also one of the best meals we have had out for a while.

Exceptional place with the friendliest staff who go above and beyond. They went out of their way to make us feel special. We will definitely be back again!!

Absolutely loved everything! The villa is beautifully built, luxurious and well kept. The pictures don’t do justice. Although it’s self catering, the host went out of her way to get our favourite luxurious coffee, cookies and olive oil - considering it’s the olive tree villa😄 She also surprised us with yummy treats for my husband’s birthday and breakfast on our last day. Thank you Karin, we’ll definitely be back soon.

This was such a beautiful experience for me and my partner. The host was just as amazing, she took care of all our needs, she was so kind. the room and facilities are gorgeous. everything about this villa is perfection

the only thing i didnt like was that i had to leave. if i could i would stay for the entire week there

This is a unique place by the ocean in a quiet and nice town. The views are amazing, and the staff makes sure you have everything you need. A truly astonishing location, just as the pictures show.

A place where your soul can truly find rest and rejuvination

A beautiful villa very comfy, spotlessly clean and welcoming.

Karin is a perfect host and was excellent with us. Excellent for someone who loves the sound of the ocean, breath-taking views. So peaceful and calm. Thank you so very much for making our holiday so very special.

Incredible service and truly extraordinary house

We loved to return to our happy place. It’s a magnificent place on an even more beautiful location. The host and her staff are marvellous and so helpful. We love it!

Nothing at all!

A stunning building/home!

Everything, there’s not a single flaw or complaint to write home about when it comes to this property.

Nothing. Karin and team are excellent at what they offer and do.

Everything was fantastic.the room , the view , the amenities , the service. It really was an amazing stay .thank you to everyone 10/10

Karin and her team was amazing! Completely in love with the place, location, Everything!

It’s clean and modern and there is lots of privacy.

The pool with the infinity view not being part of the suites.

Everything from the room, the staff, the owner, the view was just exceptional. I would recommend this to anyone anytime.

Wow – what an unbelievably special place. The Olive Tree is one of the best places we have ever stayed. We both had high expectations from reading so many great reviews before arriving, however our stay still exceeded expectations. The property and gardens are simply beautiful, and the view is out of this world – you can even see Cape Town in the distance! The place has everything you need for a luxurious, relaxing and beautiful stay. Watching the sunset and even the dolphins playing in the sea whilst having our evening meal was a sight we would have never tired of! Karin and the team however are what make The Olive Tree even more special. The friendly team are always busy at work striving to make your stay as comfortable and wonderful as possible without imposing on your privacy. We have nothing but positive things to stay about our stay – highly recommend!! Thank you!

Very modern, awesome view, the nicest hostess and people you could ever meet, thinks of everything and did not want for anything.

Nothing!

Incredible property, stunning location with views to die for and an amazing hostess and team which all made for a wonderful stay. We booked suite 3 (sadly suite 2 was already booked) and it was lovely - large comfy bed, small table and chairs, well equipped kitchen area, fabulous shower and most importantly lovely wide patio doors so that you can sit and idle away the hours watching the sea or more importunely the whales & dolphins. Both suites are great value for money and it is was available I would encourage anyone to book suite 2 as having the bedroom and lounge in separate rooms would be preferable. There is also a lovely outside area with comfy chairs and a lovely BBQ or braai. Sadly we only booked for a couple of nights but could have stayed for several more. Yzerfontein is a little remote, although its only about an 1 hour 15mins from the centre of Cape Town, and there aren't many attractions locally beyond some wine tasting and the West Coast National Park (which is a great place to visit) BUT thats the attraction. You feel a million miles away when you are at The Olive Tree and we spent hours just watching the sea / walking on the beach it was lovely....or admiring the ostriches who wander past. We also dined at Leeto restaurant in Paternoster - Karin recommended it and it's a bit of a drive (c 1 hour) but well worth it - we had a lovely meal there. A big thanks to Karin and the team for looking after us so well - it was also great to meet Sophie who was so friendly to both of us. We very much hope to be back ..... and soon.

Perfect location overlooking the beach Host was absolutely welcoming , took us through the the entire villa always a whatsap away The entire Experience was top notch

Nothing

This is the most beautiful, breathtaking and caring experience.

This was the best accomodation we ever had. Karin was an amazing host making sure we're comfortable and happy. The villa is located directly at the beautiful beach with a stunning view. You can watch the sunset and in the mornings you sometimes even see dolphins. On the last day we got delicious freshly baked goods from Karin. There is even a fireplace for cold evenings.

There is nothing we didn't like. Everything was perfect.

The whole experience from arrival to departure was exceptional and very professional. Karin and her team are just incredible and we thank them all dearly.

There is nothing to not like.

Free filtered water, friendly and helpful staff. The views and wildlife. They have a family of ostriches with three babies walking the streets. Karen is a wonderful host. Our every need was seen to. The touches of opulence in the decor(sheepskin carpets next to the bed)and once of free breakfast made for a really superb experience.

If we stayed longer, a microwave would have been great. I enjoy more natural light. On good sunny days, you don't notice it ,we had rainy weather. The shower can do with a plastic carpet to prevent slipping.

The host is super attentive. Breathtaking views of the ocean

Extraordinary location

There is nothing that is not to like at this place. This is a little piece of heaven on earth .

Not one thing.

Beautiful,a scene out of

We loved everything, the exterior is perfect. Sound of the ocean at the door step is one’s absolute peace. Beautiful space to connect with your loved one. The host is very kind and welcoming it was home away from home as well as the staff they are so amazing valentines and the beautiful lady.

Friendly reception...very comfortable facility with beautiful views!

Another chair to sit outside and admire the view would be a great addition.

Magnificent views and superb quality interior finishing

If we could give The Olive Tree 20 stars, we would. Karin has created an unbelievably unique and beautiful accomodation. We loved every single moment spent here. The veiw and sound of the ocean right on our door step was breathtaking.. The room was clean, shiny and well equipped with everything we needed, as well as a little welcome gift on arrival and a treat just before departure which was very special. The room itself and the courtyard pool area has its own special touches. Everything was just absolutely gorgeous. Do not hesitate to book at The Olive Tree!

Everything was magnificent

there’s nothing I did not like

Beautiful, nice decor

the best and lovely place

Everything! The personal touch, the views of the beach and the comfort. Definitely coming back.

The ocean view and easy access to the beach was a highlight of our trip. The villa is so well designed and furnished beautifully. Yzerfontein is a breath of fresh air and we are hoping to return shortly. Karen was welcoming and always checked up on us. Una & Fulu

What wasn’t to like! The hospitality was beyond exceptional… treats left for us when we arrived, baked treats on the morning that we left and Karin was on hand to answer all our questions before and during our stay. Wayne and the rest of the staff were so friendly and made our stay so special. The location of the villa was insane- private beach and views that you can’t put into words how beautiful it was. Watching wild dolphins in the morning is not something you can do in many locations!! State of the art facilities from the coffee machine to all the beautiful kitchen applicants an and crockery. Everything little thing had been thought over and the love and care that has gone into making this accomodation can be seen everywhere.

An absolutely perfect stop on our way from the airport further west. Great location with amazing sea views. The owner and staff were always on hand (via what’s app) to help out. Great service.

The location,views,cleanliness and Karin’s hospitality, amazing!
