Absolutely stunning! When Olivanders discovered that the room I had booked was not suitable for my needs, they called me personally to upgrade my room, at no extra charge. We ended up with rooms overlooking the pool and Shongweni Dam - the most breathtaking view. And we had complete privacy. The rooms and bathrooms were pristine and looked newly revamped. We were there for a wedding, but are planning to book in future, just as a family getaway.

Disappointing after a day of hard work. No, not at all. Very disappointing. Lock on door of first room didn't work. Second room wasn't cleaned. Moved to third room, and then had to make bed myself.

Teleurstellend na 'n dag se harde werk. Nee, glad nie. Baie teleurstellend. Slot van deur van eerste kamer het nie gewerk. Tweede kamer was nie skoon gemaak. Is na derde kamer geskuif, en moes toe self bed opmaak.

Hi Lana, thank you for your review of Gavin's stay with us. We always encourage and value feedback from our customers. We apologize for Gavin's unsatisfactory evening with us and are very disappointed that there were a number of mishaps upon Gavin's arrival. This is certainly not something our guests experience on a regular basis and steps have been taken to ensure that all issues are resolved prior to our guests' arrival. We would love to welcome Gavin back in the future and would be happy to offer him a discount on his future stay when he is next in the area. Once again, thank you for your feedback.

Hallo Lana, dankie vir jou resensie van Gavin se verblyf by ons. Ons moedig altyd terugvoer van ons kliënte aan en waardeer dit altyd. Ons vra om verskoning vir Gavin se onbevredigende aand saam met ons en is baie teleurgesteld dat daar 'n menigte ongelukke met Gavin se aankoms was. Dit is beslis nie iets wat ons gaste op 'n gereelde basis ervaar nie en stappe is geneem om te verseker dat alle probleme reggestel is voor ons gaste se aankoms. Ons sal Gavin graag in die toekoms terug verwelkom en sal graag sy toekomstige verblyf afslag gee wanneer hy volgende keer in die area is. Weereens, dankie vir jou terugvoer.

Here are a few points that I believe will need attention. The access road needs attention and better directions. The parking area can be tarred or concreted. That uneven stone paving makes it untidy. The path to the residence's stones is also very uneven and makes it difficult to walk easily. Then what was a real pain, the stairs are totally outside the guideline for normal easy stair heights, I think it's about 170mm standard, those stairs are much higher than that and wow, it wasn't easy. The double bed's height from the floor and then with the soft mattress was extremely uncomfortable. It would count in their favor in my opinion if they addressed these few things. Furthermore, our stay was quite acceptable. Oh, the power outages were annoying, but hey, it's expensive to plan for them. Thank you very much and please accept my criticism as well intended. Thank you

Hier is 'n paar punte wat ek glo aandag sal moet geniet. Die toegangspad kort aandag en beter aanwysings. Die parkeerarea kan maar gerus geteer of gebeton word. Daardie ongelyke klip plaveisel maak dit onnet. Die paadjie na die woonplek se klippe is ook baie ongelyk en maak dit moeilik om maklik te loop. Dan wat 'n erge pyn was, die trappe is totaal buite die riglyn vir gewone maklike trap hoogtes, ek dink dit is ongeveer 170mm standaard, daardie trappe is baie hoër as dit en sjoe, dit was nie maklik nie. Die dubbelbed se hoogte van die vloer af en dan met die sagte matras was uiters ongemaklik. Dit sal in my opinie in hulle guns tel as hulle hierdie paar goedjies aanspreek. Verder was ons verblyf heel aanvaarbaar. Ai, die kragonderbrekings het gepla, maar nou ja dit is duur om daarvoor te beplan. Baie dankie en aanvaar asseblief my kretiek as goed bedoel. Dankie

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with constructive criticism for your stay. Ollivanders embraces nature and all its imperfections and although we are aware that the stones, which are original to the farm, are uneven, it is a good idea that we consider a suitable sign to warn guests that the ground is uneven. Perhaps a handrail to the cottage would help mobility up to the cottage, something we will consider in the future. The beds are 5 star, top of the range, hospitality quality beds, but each person has individual preferences when it comes to beds, but we are sorry you were uncomfortable. We are so grateful that you came to spend the weekend with us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!!

Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om opbouende kritiek aan ons te lewer vir u verblyf. Ollivanders omhels die natuur en al sy onvolmaakthede en alhoewel ons bewus is dat die klippe, wat oorspronklik van die plaas is, ongelyk is, is dit 'n goeie idee dat ons 'n geskikte teken beskou om gaste te waarsku dat die grond ongelyk is. Miskien sal 'n leuning na die kothuis beweeglikheid tot by die kothuis help, iets wat ons in die toekoms sal oorweeg. Die beddens is 5-ster, top van die reeks, gasvryheid kwaliteit beddens, maar elke persoon het individuele voorkeure wanneer dit by beddens kom, maar ons is spyt dat jy ongemaklik was. Ons is so dankbaar dat jy die naweek by ons kom spandeer het en ons hoop om jou gou weer terug te verwelkom!!

Beautiful just worrying though. There were no bins in the units and while we were napping someone came into the room with no warning.

Will never sleep there again if there is a wedding. Breakfast was not possible, because the guests of the wedding made such a mess in the dining area that we had to go elsewhere for breakfast. We will go back when there is not a wedding, just for the horses. The horses were stunning and so well cared for. No reception on site. Because of the wedding there was noise for 2 nights until the morning hours.

Sal nooit weer daar slaap as daar ’n troue is nie. Ontbyt was nie moontlik nie, want die gaste van die troue het so gemors in die eetplek ons moes elders gaan ontbyt. Ons sal teruggaan wanneer daar nie 'n troue is nie, net vir die perde. Die perde was asemrowend en so goed versorg. Geen ontvangs op die perseel nie. As gevolg van die troue was daar lawaai vir 2 aande tot in die oggendure.

Very calm and quiet nature. Beautiful view. Very close to the N3 for long distance overnight opportunities. We had a very nice stay. The accommodation was clean and tidy. We were very spoiled with breakfast where we got special plate cookies the second morning. The owners (Mark and Leanne) and cook (Caroline) were very friendly and concerned about us. We will definitely stay here again in the future. It's ideal for children and the horses were a big plus for us.

Baie rustig en stil natuur. Pragtige uitkyk. Baie naby die N3 vir langafstand oornaggeleenthede. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die verblyf was skoon en netjies. Ons was baie bederf met ontbyt waar ons spesiale plaatkoekies gekry het die tweede oggend. Die eienaars (Mark en Leanne) and kok (Caroline) was baie vriendelik en besorg oor ons. Ons sal definitief weer hier oorslaap in the toekoms. Dis ideaal vir kinders en die perde was a groot plus vir ons.
