Guests can hike directly from the property into untouched wilderness, where they might spot baboons and kudus. The garden also has a succulent garden and a swing bench with panoramic views. Two fireplaces (lounge and bedroom) and a private hot tub (jacuzzi) are available.

Wild Olive Cottage is 11 km from Urquhart House Museum, Anglo-Boer War Memorial, and Reinet House Museum. Valley of Desolation is 24 km away. Graaff-Reinet Railway Station is 12 km, and the Military History Museum is 11 km. The cottage is on a working farm with a gravel road - a car with higher ground clearance is recommended.

Guest Services and Amenities

Free WiFi is available throughout. The property is non-smoking and has family rooms. Air conditioning, parking, and fire extinguishers are provided. The host responds quickly to questions and allows early check-in when requested. The cottage is solar-powered and off the grid, with a pool pump that runs automatically.

“Wild Olive Cottage's location on a working farm grants it a serene quietude, yet it remains conveniently close to Graaff Reinet. The restored rustic accommodations excel with their blend of comfort, notably plush beds and generous showers, and thoughtful amenities like indoor fireplaces. Its true character shines in the expansive Karoo views and the refreshing splash pool, making for a decidedly romantic escape.”
