Hotel Olivewood

Hotel room was great

Golf course is not best shape and too full

Loved the location and the facilities

I was called by the staff to settle an outstanding amount because booking.com under charged me

OH this place was absolutely stunning. The hotel rooms are big and the bathroom is out of this world. loved seeing animals around the estate.

n/a

Basically a private golf course and driving range. Spa facilities and a nice Gym!

A little more expensive than I would have liked, R2k per night was more in line what what I expected

I liked everything about the place.

The rooms are not sound proofed, I could hear people chatting from the next room.

The breakfast was very good, and the dinner options were also great. It was a bit cold in the restaurant and they put on gas heater which was quite warm and lovely.

The room service food does not quite meet the food standard from the governors house. But the service and the staff made up for the it.

They charge you twice the fee if you are with someone else

I had such such an amazing time in Olivewood everything was nice and exceptional. We really had a great time. From the room, the food from restaurants and the staff. Thanks so much.

Nothing

all was well prepared and tasty

we liked everything

The staff were professional, friendly and respectful. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The flora and fauna a pleasant surprise.

I would have liked a room overlooking the golf course, a room with a view.

Convenient

Soulless

The tranquility, that's unmatched... My partner kept thanking me for choosing Olivewood for our holiday reset...

Cleaning staff took ages to clean our room, we even went for a walk but still returned to it in the same state but upon request that they maybe start with our room, it wasn't entirely ignored...

Very clean and modern rooms.

Restaurant did not accommodate for allergies (even though we reached out in advance). Pool was not clean.

Quiet and private. Got a visit from a Nyala

Accuracy of the order taking needs some improvement. Massive difference between medium rare and well done.

Loved Olivewood rooms very spacious comfortable beautiful surroundings excellent food.

Checking in was a little confusing i booked a few rooms ut was a wedding. They called me & said the money i paid was not for 4 rooms. They did realise their error and continued with no issues

Beautiful, tranquil and very well kept. Thank you.

The rooms are beautiful and the wildlife on the property make it extra special

I went with my daughter and nephew - one is vegan and the other doesn’t eat eggs so when breakfast is only a la carte and has very few options its quite a waste to pay for it. Rather leave the estaband have breakfast somewhere else overlooking the sea

Everything

Nothing

Rooms fantastic.

Restaurant service lacking in urgency. Seeing waiters too seldom. One staff lady at the restaurant was rude and in a filthy mood when my husband asked her for milk. Not acceptable. The rest were fabulous and friendly. Could make sure the tables have salt and pepper as a matter of course

Must staff were very helpful and friendly. Facilities were lovely and clean

Noisy noisy noisy! The people in the rooms (multiple) next to ours were very loud and the walls are super thin!

The room

Everything else. There was nothing to do. They charged part of the breakfast also if included

Amazing place to stay when you have a function at the hotel, beautiful animals roaming the property and food is 10/10

Service is slightly slow at times but this is understandable when busy

I liked that you ordered breakfast from the menu and not your typical hotel English breakfast only as an option. That was absolutely great

Check in is at 2pm, and we could only check in at 3pm as the rooms were not ready... if that happens at least offer the guests a complimentary coffee/drink while they wait.

Rooms are exceptionally beautiful. Grounds are exceptionally well maintained. Gorgeous Pool area. Gym size is awesome, well equipped and gorgeous views from the gym

Sliding door in room 2 didn't lock. We didnt have peaceful sleep. No help from reception over the 2 day period. Some staff in restaurant slow!! Rooms were only cleaned at 2pm after our first night, that was disappointing. It rained the day after our arrival, kids couldn't swim in the pool. When I asked if they could swim after breakfast of our departure for an hour I was told I'm no longer a guest. SHOCKING!!!!. Bath robes available at R1000 extra for a 4 star hotel, please review that. I was sharing a room with my 9 year old son which was uncomfortable without a bath robe to change etc. I still cant believe a bath robe is charged at R1000 !!!!

Great personal service

Nothing

Staff was very helpful and friendly

Cleanliness

The location is great and the place peaceful.

The food could be better

Lovely set up and the rooms are lovely and spacious.

The privacy and luxury modern look

Sehr Grosses und wunderschön eingerichtetes Zimmer mit schönem Blick in die Natur und zu den Tieren. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Lage: sehr ruhige Gegend und doch nach bei der N2.

Zum Essen (Nachtessen und Frühstück) gibt es keine Servietten, erst wenn man sie verlangt und das sollte in solche einer Golfanlage nicht sein.

Beautiful setting, rooms are well equipped.

Loud noise from Golf Club - if I had known, I would have booked elsewhere. Breakfast very disorganized.

The place is very beautiful.

The bed is too soft to a point that you can't sleep at night. If they could change the bed the place could be a perfect 10.

Ambience

Nothing

Everything about the property

Absolutely awesome all round service. Spacious rooms, very clean, accommodating staff and superb facilities.

The room was very large, beautifully decorated, very nice outdoor area and very clean.

The taps in the bathroom were broken and not working properly. Also, the batteries in the TV remote were dead. I Ididn't like the excessive control at the hotel entrance and the many papers I had to fill out at the reception. Also, checkout was very early at 10:00.

Facilities. Staff. Location.

Nothing

Room was fantastic. Fantastuc gilf course

Had bed and breakfast option which included only fruit and muesli. Had to pay for alacarte whichbwas a but odd

Hotel Olivewood offers comfort, great food, wildlife sightings, and serene nature — all just minutes from the heart of East London.

The views and the staff

A bit unfriendly on check in and check out times

Friendly staff and just beautiful views from our room

Breakfast was delicious and the hotel was very aesthetically pleasing

The potholes on the road leading to the hotel.

Staff was friendly. The location was secluded. The room was clean. The outside shower was inspiring. The bathroom was spacious. Animals roaming around peacefully. Overall very good.

The instruction to dine at a seperate venue for breakfast must be made clear at check in.
