Es war einfach nur super! Tolles Zimmer, super Service.
Das Frühstück, v.a. das Surprise Omlette, war ein Traum.
Man braucht definitiv ein Auto (kann nachts gesichert geparkt werden), da nicht in Nähe der CBD. Aber idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Kaphalbinsel zu erkundigen.

Comfortable Guest House in Newlands
I have stayed at the Wild Olive Guest House on a number of occasions. The standard is consistently very good with staff being pleasant to deal with. As usual the breakfast was excellent. On this occasion I encountered a problem with the TV set in Room 5 and I trust that management will sort this out.
