Thanks for a great weekend!

Easy to find, had everything we needed and Ross went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend a hike up to the deck at the top of the mountain, incredible view!

Tranquil, host with the most and relaxing.

Wish you could rate the host as well because the host really deserves 5 stars for how he hosted my mom and I. We had a lovely time, it was peaceful, a real reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. Would not only recommend but go there again myself.

A great place to relax with enough space for a big group.

We loved sitting under the big trees by the pool. The walk up the hill is well marked and maintained with a magical view from the deck.

Dit was heerlik rustig.

Dit was heerlik stil. Lekker om weg te kom van alles af. Die mikrogolf werk nie en ons het dit nodig gehad. Ons het laat weet van die probleem, maar dit is nie opgelos nie. Daar is geen selfoonsignaal nie. Nie van enige netwerk nie.

It was wonderfully peaceful.

It was wonderfully quiet. Nice to get away from it all. The microwave doesn't work and we needed it. We have reported the problem, but it has not been resolved. There is no cell phone signal. Not from any network.

Kinder- en hondehemel in die koepel.

Heerlike midweek-wegbreek gehad met ons 3 brakkies en dogtertjie (2). Die ligging van die plaashuis is fantasties, met 'n ongelooflike uitsig oor die koepel. Verskillende braai-areas, lekker swembad en die groot, groen grasperk was perfek vir pieknieks. Ross se kommunikasie is uitstekend en hy loer daagliks in om seker te maak alles is in orde. Die plaashuis is eenvoudig en onopgesmuk, maar presies wat ons wou hê met 'n besige kleuter en hondjies. Ons kom weer terug saam met vriende en familie!

Child and dog heaven in the dome.

Had a wonderful midweek break with our 3 brats and little girl (2). The location of the farmhouse is fantastic, with an incredible view of the dome. Different braai areas, nice swimming pool and the large, green lawn were perfect for picnics. Ross's communication is excellent and he checks in daily to make sure everything is ok. The farmhouse is simple and unadorned, but exactly what we wanted with a busy toddler and puppies. We will be back again with friends and family!

Rustigheid.

Ons was 'n groep vriende daar vir naweek oor New Years en dit was presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Plaashuis is baie goed toegerus met pragtige uitsig op berge en sonsondergang. Die verskillende braai- en boma-areas is fantasties, elke aand op 'n ander plek braai was lekker. Swembad het heel gepas gekom vir 'n lekker, warm dag. Kamers was baie mooi en skoon en die hele huis het ons baie tuis laat voel. Baie dankie Jeanne en Michael wat so mooi na ons gekyk het.

Calmness.

We were a group of friends there for New Years weekend and it was exactly what we needed. Farmhouse is very well equipped with beautiful view of mountains and sunset. The different braai and boma areas are fantastic, braai in a different place every night was nice. Swimming pool came in handy for a nice, hot day. Rooms were very nice and clean and the whole house made us feel very much at home. Thank you very much Jeanne and Michael for looking after us so well.

Huis en huisinhoud is verwaarloos.

Alhoewel die area en die plaas baie mooi uitsigte het, is die huis verwaarloos. Die huisinhoud, veral die kombuis, is glad nie op standaard vir die prys wat mens betaal vir die huis nie. Jy kry die gevoel goed in die kombuis en ook res van die huis, is goed wat eienaar nie meer wou gehad het nie. Kombuis en badkamers kort 'n goeie skoonmaak. Beddegoed het merke op gehad en handdoeke was oud en in 'n slegte toestand. Waterdruk was sleg en baie ongereeld met soms geen warm water wat deurkom nie. Die dreinpype van die huis moet skoongemaak word. Oor die algemeen het die plek baie potensiaal maar kort aandag en moet vir seker beter toegerus wees.

Home and home contents are neglected.

Although the area and the farm have very nice views, the house is neglected. The house contents, especially the kitchen, are not at all up to standard for the price one pays for the house. You get the feeling that the kitchen and the rest of the house are things that the owner no longer wanted. Kitchen and bathrooms need a good cleaning. Bed linen had marks on it and towels were old and in poor condition. Water pressure was bad and very infrequent with sometimes no hot water coming through. The drain pipes of the house must be cleaned. Overall the place has a lot of potential but needs attention and should be better equipped for sure.

Wonderlike naweekwegbreek saam vriende.

Die huis het alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n naweekwegbreek. Daar is genoeg om die kinders besig te hou en die plaas is pragtig met die mooiste sonsondergange. Daar was konstante loadshedding die naweek, maar dit het ons glad nie geaffekteer nie, aangesien die huis toegerus is met lampies asook 'n gasstoof en gasbraaier. Ross se kommunikasie wat uitstekend en Mike wat skoongemaak het is 'n super ster. Ons sal vir seker weer 'n draai gaan maak by Wild Olive!

Wonderful weekend getaway with friends.

The house has everything one needs for a weekend getaway. There is enough to keep the children busy and the farm is beautiful with the most beautiful sunsets. There was constant loadshedding at the weekend, but it didn't affect us at all, as the house is equipped with lamps as well as a gas stove and gas grill. Ross' communication which is excellent and Mike who cleaned is a super star. We will definitely visit Wild Olive again!

Dit is plaas - dit is lekker.

Om van die dorp af te kom, die son sien sak oor die berge, die oranje-gloed van die son, die melkweg wat so helder is, dit is om af te sluit van die buitewêreld. Alles is net reg.

Coming from town and seeing the sun set behind the mountains in striking orange with the milky way so clear, is to remove yourself from the outside world. Everything is just right.

Lekker groot huis op die mooiste plek!

Die huis is baie goed ingerig en dis lekker dat dit verskillende vleuels het. Baie mooi omgewing en grasperk. Kinders kon lekker en veilig speel. Sal beslis weer gaan! Onthou om vooraf te reël as jy 'n skoonmaker soek.

Aangenaam met pragtige uitsig.

'n Pragtige huis met baie potensiaal, maar bietjie verwaarloos en netheid nie op standaard nie. Sitkamerstel se kussings nie mooi skoon nie. Deure wat kraak, gloeilampies wat nie werk, wasbak in slaapkamer naaste aan swembad se prop werk nie. Stort in die middel verstop. Die dreineringspype in huis moet mooi skoongemaak word. Van die borde, koppies en pierings was gekraak.

Pleasant with a beautiful view.

A beautiful house with a lot of potential, but a bit neglected and cleanliness not up to standard. Lounge set's cushions not clean enough. Doors creaking, light bulbs not working, sink in bedroom closest to pool plug not working. Shower clogged in the middle. The drainage pipes in the house must be cleaned well. Some of the plates, cups and saucers were cracked.

Baie lekker plek, skoon en netjies.

Wild Olive Country retreat is net buite die dorp, baie goed gelee en maklik om gou in en uit te ry. Die plek is baie mooi skoon en netjies en het al ons verwagtinge nagekom. Ek sal die plek aanbeveel vir enige iemand, baie goeie waarde vir geld!

Rustige atmosfeer. Baie netjies en georganiseerd. Ongelooflike natuurskoon.

Die enigste tekort was groter potte (casserole ens.), asook dinge soos opskeplepels en opdienbakke. Ons groep was 8 mense en ek het gevind dat die potte effe aan die klein kant was vir kosvoorbereiding vir 'n groter groep mense. Die huis is baie gerieflik ingerig met die skoon en netjiese beddegoed en handdoeke.

Calm atmosphere. Very neat and organized. Incredible scenery.

The only shortage was larger pots (casserole etc.), as well as things like serving spoons and serving bowls. Our group was 8 people and I found the pots to be a bit on the small side for food preparation for a larger group of people. The house is very comfortably furnished with clean and tidy bedding and towels.

Bliss in the countryside.

We had a very relaxing weekend for my birthday. The house is spacious and the setting is off-the-grid, yet close enough to Parys to explore the town. The grounds are well-kept and the outdoor seating under the large trees were a highlight for us. The views from the patio were also very special. Ross made sure that we had a comfortable stay and even put out fresh flowers from the garden before our visit. My 2 Jack Russel's loved the large outdoor space! Definite must to re-charge and get away from the city and the rush.

Baie gerieflike plaashuis.

Stil en rustige ongewing met baie mooi uitsigte in elke rigting. Vir ons wat as 'n klomp vriende bymekaargekom het, was dit die perfekte verblyf om drie gesinne met kinders te akkommodeer. Anders as baie ander plekke het Wild Olive Country Retreat dit toegelaat om net vir een dag te bespreek, wat dit baie goeie waarde vir geld maak.

Very comfortable farmhouse.

Quiet and peaceful environment with very nice views in every direction. For us who gathered as a group of friends, it was the perfect accommodation to accommodate three families with children. Unlike many other places, Wild Olive Country Retreat only allows booking for one day, making it very good value for money.

Rustige plaasatmosfeer waar mens kan ontspan en die batterye herlaai.

Die fasiliteite was van hoogstaande gehalte en die geriewe was deurentyd netjies en skoon gewees. Die personeel was baie behulpsaam en het in al ons behoeftes voorsien. Die opsionele bediende wat ons versoek het, het die huis baie skoon gehou. Daar is genoeg braaiplekke sodat mens enige tyd van die dag lekker in die koelte kan kuier en braai. Vlieë is natuurlik hierdie tyd van die jaar oral baie lastig in die Noord-Wes provinsie en die eienaar kan dalk belê in 'n insekdoder wat die insekte sal lok en dood skok of in ander metodes om die vlieg bevolking onder beheer te hou. Ons het baie lekker gekuier en sal beslis weer soontoe gaan.

Peaceful farm atmosphere where one can relax and recharge the batteries.

The facilities were of high quality and the facilities were always neat and clean. The staff were very helpful and catered to all our needs. The optional maid we requested kept the house very clean. There are enough braai places so that you can hang out and braai in the cool at any time of the day. Flies are of course very troublesome at this time of year everywhere in the North West province and the owner may invest in an insecticide that will attract and shock the insects to death or in other methods to keep the fly population under control. We had a great time and will definitely go there again.
