91 guests' feedbackEverything we needed was in the room, clean and efficient.
Very well rested, was tired after a long journey. Space of room, hospitality of owner, fresh milk, delicious decaf coffee, biscuits, fresh fruit, couldn't ask for more.
Away from the noise and hum of traffic.
Had a great stay, neat, clean and out of the busy city.
Good service with tasty treats of free range, yogurt, farm milk and rusk.
We had such a lovely stay at Olive Hill Country Lodge. Our host was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were very comfortable, and we didn't need anything. Our girls also had a great time playing around the property. Very neat and comfortable.
Beautiful place! Good reception and very comfortable and clean accommodation! Beautiful.
If you are traveling from South to North, do not drive via the M10. Approach from N1 exit 202. All along the M10 is an absolute hole!
See stars.
Magical farm stay. So peaceful after long drive. Our host had fruit cereal and lovely rusks waiting for us in the room. Such a lovely treat.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is set in a lovely garden just outside Bloemfontein. It was well secured and a peaceful spot. We used the small kitchen to make a family meal and were very comfortable.
All our expectations were exceeded - we really enjoyed our stay.
We had a great time, comfortable and clean room.
In spite of the above, we could hear every word spoken next door. They woke up at 04:15 and that woke us up. To be fair, the other units may not have this problem. It seems that the walls don't go right up to the roof.
Unit was neat, spacious and of good quality. Attention can only be given to the carpets, doors and walls that need a good cleaning. Very nice stay, peaceful and quiet environment.
Neat, clean accommodation, but the morning before we left there was no water.
Water pressure was a problem in the morning when everyone needed to shower. There was hardly any water coming out of the showers. Other than that, it was really a lovely place to stay!
We enjoyed our stop at Olive Hill, the building and garden are beautiful. I enjoyed sitting out under the stars. The milk and snacks provided were much appreciated. Thank you for a comfortable night.
Spacious rooms, neat quality bedding. Cute welcome package with cookies, crackers, fruit and milk in the fridge. Friendly welcome by the owner.
Very peaceful environment.
Unfortunately, there is a problem with soundproofing rooms. With noisy neighbors partying until late, it spoiled our stay. These were contractors who did not consider the rest of other guests. Clear rules must be communicated by the owner to all guests regarding noise and disturbance of rest.
Friendly, clean and affordable. It is a great place to stay when you visit Bloem.
There are a few small things that I feel could be improved (but have discussed them directly with owner). The accommodation is neat and clean. And the fact that there are mattress protectors on the beds makes me completely overlook the little things - thank you very much for that. We had a nice stay. The equipped kitchenette is perfect for a quick dinner or breakfast.
Very well located and off the main routes to have a nice quiet night's rest. Nice farm atmosphere.
Had a nice stay, clean and tidy and very friendly service.
This place is incredibly beautiful and very good value for money. The continental breakfast is more than just a continental breakfast. You get cereal, yogurt, fruit, biscuits and breakfast cookies. We will definitely visit the place again.
It was a wonderful surprise to find such a place. Friendly service and delicious refreshment that not only coffee and tea are provided, but also fresh milk, fruit, delicious biscuits, apples and cereal for our early morning departure. Will stay there again.
Driving to/from plot between city not economical. Owners don’t always respect privacy, and constantly present. Breakfast basket is highly processed foods. Free but slow choppy wifi. The ceiling is made of wood, and therefore all sound from next door guests are audible (snoring, farting, conversations, tv etc).
Olive Hill is beautiful and very well maintained.
We felt very welcome. A lot of effort has been done. We had a really nice stay and will definitely stay there again.
Ideal for sleepovers.
Nice rural atmosphere and yet close to the city.
Room was very neat. Gardens beautiful. Slept well and felt safe. Very centrally located.
Well received and well organised, thank you Derik.
A comfortable stay and well-appointed room.
We arrived at Olive Hill just after 12 o'clock, upon arrival our room was not ready and could not check into the room until 13:00. The room was really nice and clean and the place is very nice, the stoep is a plus. Problems we encountered that were unacceptable to us: We checked in because we had a wedding in the area. When we wanted to get ready and shower for the wedding there was no water. My mother only got enough water to wash her hair at the sink. It cost us to go to another guest house to shower there for the wedding. It wasn't just us, but other rooms as well that struggled with water. And as I understand all the other rooms were also booked for guests attending weddings. We contacted the number on the invoice and were told there was a problem with the pressure which we don't believe because people before us had also complained about the water. I was still talking to the gentleman to find out if there was an alternative solution to the water problem but the phone was then quickly placed in my ear, we then had no further contact with the person and he was not anywhere at all not to be seen. We didn't argue the matter any further and just drove to another guest house to take a shower in order to be at the wedding just in time. Later that evening when we arrived at the guest house after the wedding, my mother tried to take a shower, after which the water ran out again while she was trying to take a shower. Our family who also checked in at the guest house couldn't even make coffee the next morning and we couldn't even brush our teeth, so we used water that we drove with us for coffee and brushing our teeth and washing our faces. Would advise that guests are told in advance that there are water problems and that alternative arrangements are made, such as perhaps putting jugs of water in rooms for use, this is unacceptable to us. The other problem was the bathroom window is not tinted well enough and the curtain in front of the windows is very sheer. When my mother tried to take a shower we just hung a towel in front of the window, for us as women we feel very violated to take a shower in such a place if we could do it but we didn't because there was no water . If it wasn't for the water issues and the bathroom window I would have given this place 10/10. We are hoping for a partial refund on our stay.
Very friendly people. Nice stay and visit.
What a pleasant experience! Friendly reception, quiet farm atmosphere, beautiful clean and tidy rooms. We will definitely stay with you again!
Owner was very friendly and the rooms are nice and clean.
Beautiful, neat place with everything you need. Was so impressed! Even snacks, porridge, fruit, milk in the fridge. Definitely our overnight stop from now on.
Very friendly and pleasant place. Customer service excellent.
Host was most helpful in getting generator going because of electricity supply issues in the area.
Ideal overnight stop. Rooms and garden are beautiful. The bathrooms are exceptional! Kitchen has everything one needs. There was even milk/cereal/biscuits/cookies/fruit for own breakfast in room.
It is not located in a very nice area.
Clean, comfortable and nice farm feel.
Very cute place, host was friendly. Garden is beautiful, every room is beautifully decorated and neat and clean. The rusks, cookies, fruit, porridge and yoghurt were a pleasant surprise. Would recommend Olive Hill for sure.
The location of Olive hill Country Estate was good for our purpose, it being close to a wedding venue but a little out of town. The customer service was good and the owner was very friendly and helpful when needed. I believe the price is good for the purpose, and since you have everything and get what you need it was good.
Beautiful, neat place in very nice surroundings, second time I've stayed there. Can really recommend it. Friendly hosts.
We had a great time at Olive Hill. The place was neat, clean, and spacious. We have all the extras like fruit, yoghurt, porridge, coffee etc. much appreciated This helped get us back on the road nice and early after breakfast.
Beautiful, neat and comfortable place with friendly people. Very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay there again.
The units were well equipped and very comfortable with beautiful bathrooms and kitchenettes. We were very warmly welcomed and enjoyed our stay. Thank you! Loved our stay. Warm and inviting. Super clean and spacious.
Room neat and comfortable. Good facilities. Air cooler leaked as well as shower door. Brought to the attention of management.
It was the third time we spent the night here and as usual it was again great and a pleasure to stay there.
Beautiful, clean place with top class service and friendly staff!
Very nice porch for visits. Nice and neat.
Received a friendly and helpful reception from the owner. This accommodation exceeded our expectations. Peaceful farm atmosphere.
Accommodated our late arrival.
The second time we've stayed here. Definitely recommended.
We had a very nice stay. The place is so peaceful, so you switch off! The room was very nice and tidy! The owner was also very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend the place if you want to rest!
What a pleasant place to stay! Everything was to a high standard, presented with friendly hospitality.
We were down for a sport event and it was so nice to retreat to the lodge and take in the country side. It is still close to town and the rooms were comfortable and very clean.
Beautiful home with a wonderful garden for animals. Our dogs enjoyed the area and we will definitely stay at Olive Hill again! Had too much fun sitting in the garden drinking tea under the Free State night with our "children" playing and sniffing around us.
Very nice overnight stay. Lovely to feel welcome with your dogs. Other animals from visitors no problem.
Will visit Olive Hill again.
Neat and comfortable guesthouse - close to the bigger wedding venues, and conveniently on the road from the airport. I liked how secluded it is.
Easy to reach via a tarred road. The owners area unbelievably friendly and were prepared to help with extras (such as oil heater on a very cold weekend). The guesthouse is beautiful, clean and neat. Delicious breakfast, huge portions. This guesthouse definitely deserves 5 stars. Definitely a guesthouse to visit again and again.
Very neat and clean overnight accommodation, away from the city's noise. It's close enough to the main highways and the room is spacious and fully equipped.
Will recommend it and definitely make use of it again. Very clean and convenient.
Very clean and neat accommodation. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay at Olive Hill again.
Friendly, hospitable reception, rooms is wow! Pretty, very peaceful area. Will definitely recommend it and visit again.
Clean towels on the second day would have been appreciated. The continental breakfast included in the rate was disappointing.
A very peaceful stay. Sorry it's so far from N1. For one night it was comfortable, clean and tidy.
Neat and clean place. Sleeping and bathing facilities were comfortable. Was very well received.
A very comfortable and tidy lodge close to the city. Will definitely stay there again.
The rooms were very neat and nicely laid out. The building's exterior appearance was outstanding. They are close to a shopping center so you can quickly go out for dinner and they are also very close to the highway. The hostess was helpful and friendly. We will definitely spend the night there again on the way home from the Cape or if we have to spend the night in Bloem for any other reasons.
Clean and comfortable. There was no water on the Saturday morning and no alternative arrangements were made. No water to make a cup of coffee. We do understand that there can be problems with lights and water at times, but would have liked to see someone making an effort to an alternative.
The room was very nice. We enjoyed the food. Linda was friendly and helpful.
Very neat room at a reasonable price. Too bad it's not closer to N1!
No complaints.
You might think about changing the DStv package to a better one.
It was a very nice guest house, neat and clean. It's just a bit far from decent shops; we had to drive some distance again for food etc. to get.
A very friendly service and beautiful rooms. Feel very safe.
Very pleasant and quiet.
The rooms are five star quality with a spacious bathroom for Dad who wants to shower and Mom who prefers a bath. The fridge and kitchen with sink, microwave oven and tasty cutlery are an absolute bonus for a family with children who like to store their own food or even prepare it for the next day. The spacious room has air conditioning, a table, seating and enough tasteful sleeping space for a whole family.
Very friendly service!
Friendly people who waited until extra late in the evening for us to arrive. The room is incredibly stylish and very beautiful, with everything one could need.
See the stars below.
Will recommend to everyone. Good and friendly service. Aunt Linda is a great hostess!
Very friendly welcome and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
