Reviews

• "Stunning & Blissful Views"

  25 September 2018

  "The beautiful mountain ranges, the serene atmosphere, birds chirping & warm hosts (John and Jenny). Stayed in J's cottage which is a B&B arrangement. Loved every moment we spent there. There is literally zero network coverage (which is a blessing in today's world of being connected). A must visit place."

  12 March 2018

  "We had a lovely relaxing weekend in Hartbeeshuis. The house is spacious and cool and is situated right on the edge of a vineyard. Lots of balcony space to soak up the beautiful mountain views. Lots of beautiful wine farms near by to enjoy. Next time we will be back for longer! Thanks to Jenny and John for making us feel so at home."

• "Peaceful farm stay"

• "A very welcome getaway"

  21 November 2016

  "Jenny and John are wonderful hosts who made us feel right at home. Our cottage was very comfortable and the views spectacular! A wonderful libary filled with historical treasures was a treat. The cottage is close enough to town to hop in and out but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Highly recommended."

• "Wonderful stay"

  07 May 2016

  "We spent 4 nights at the self-catering cottage and loved being there. The cottage was comfortably equipped and the hosts charming and helpful. The views from the front porch are exquisite - and a tree full of birds alongside the cottage was a bonus. Highly recommended!"

• "Nature at it's best!"

  17 November 2015

  "<p>If you are looking for a piece of paradise away from your busy city life, Olyfenbosch Cottages is perfect for you! Imagine waking up to the most beautiful, uninterrupted vineyard and mountain view from your bedroom. We loved every minute of it. The cottage is spacious and equipped with everything you need. Our hosts, Jenny and John are a lovely and interesting couple, who made us feel at home throughout our stay.Highly recommended for nature-lovers. Be prepared to put on some anti-insect spray. The many vineyards in the vicinity also make for an enjoyable and educational outing. We will definitely be back!</p>"

• "Bad experience"

  16 February 2015

  "<p>This B&amp;B is hard to find and after a long portion of dust road when several B&amp;B are closer in Robertson.</p><p><span class="hps">We found a tarantula</span> <span class="hps">spider in a towel when taking a shower that jumped on our hand! </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">This was very surprising. We also found the nest of it with a lot of eggs, it could indicate that the rooms are not used often or the towel changed/checked often.</span></p><p><span class="hps"></span></p><p><span class="hps">The owners are very nice, the view also but for a B&amp;B at 800 ZAR it is unusual.</span></p><p><span class="hps"></span></p><p><span class="hps">My wife was so shocked that she could not take breakfast and cried a while. We decided to move to another place.</span></p>"

• "OLYFENBOSCH COTTAGES"

  14 January 2015

  "We recently spent two nights at Olyfenbosch Cottages. The cottage we stayed in was comfortable and large however, it was so hot and there was no air conditioner or fan in the bedroom.The cottages were described as you could walk to other farms and this was misleading as we assumed there would be wine tasting etc. Unfortunately it was just a farm where the grapes were grown. We did not have hot water for our shower on the day we left as the geysers work with gas. The gentleman was kind enough to change gas bottles, but that didn't last long as the gas ran out."

• "Secluded cottage close to Robertson"

  11 January 2015

  "This beautiful cottage with large rooms has North facing view over vineyards and dams to the mountains, it is magic. There were a few small drawbacks:A tiny stove/oven that was immensely slow to do anything.Party music drifting over from the nearby town."

• "Amazing views"

  29 November 2014

  "We stayed for one night and were upgraded to Hartbeeshuis which is a very spacious and comfortable .The views were stunning - what a beautiful area. Our hosts John and Jenny were very kind and helpful and served us breakfast in the cottage. I would suggest stocking up on any shopping you need if self catering as although not very far from Robertson you will probably not want to go out again once you reach Olyfenbosch - just chill and relax on the terrace with a glass of something cold. Plan to return."

• "Spoiled"

  23 October 2014

  "What a pleasure to have stayed at Olyfenbosch. Thank you Jenny for a lovely stay. Highlight for us are the amazing view, proper wine and whiskey glasses and the best of all, hot and dry towels every time we came back to the cottage. The history and heritage is also amazing and very interesting."

• "Wonderful relaxing weekend getaway!"

  29 April 2014

  "Beautiful setting overlooking a vineyard and very close to the Dassiesfontein Nature Reserve!
