10/10 Exceptional

Oliver’s is outstanding in every way. Convenient to the airport and the Numbi Gate of Kruger National Park, my family had a most memorable stay at Oliver’s. The facility, property layout, service, and hospitality were unmatched. The food was simply astounding and the chef always accommodated my son’s food allergies to make sure he also had an enjoyable meal. If restaurants receive five stars as the highest rating, I would give Oliver’s at least 6! I travel for business often in Africa from the US, but this was my first time taking my family for vacation. Yes, it’s a long way from home, but the service and food at Oliver’s made the journey well worth it. In addition, they kindly arranged transportation for us from and to the airport and also connected us to top notch safari and tour guides. I cannot say enough great things about our experience at Oliver’s!!! Congratulations and thanks to the proprietor for a first rate operation.

Warm ontvangst in dit heerlijk luxe hotel
Zoals bijna elk jaar beginnen we onze Krugerparkreis 2 nachten in Oliver’s. Heerlijk relaxed, mooi restaurant em super vriendelijk personeel. Ook zijn er in de buurt meedere lekkere restaurants gekomen. Ze hebben een mooie tuin, waar je op de green van hole 1 kijkt. Leuke 18holes golfbaan dus er vlakblij

Nice place with lovely staff and excellent food
Some friends told us about Olivers before we went on our journey to South Africa. We had three wonderful days at Olivers, and enjoyed every minute. This place has a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food is delicate and very well tasting. The rooms are spacious and nice. The location is quiet and feels safe. We simply fell in love and really hope to come back to this wonderful place. We will recommend Olivers to all our friends.

Excellente Unterkunft mit hervorragender Küche
Das Haus ist bestens von Tanja (aus Österreich) geführt. Die Luxury Zimmer sind äusserst geräumig, es fehlt an nichts. Das Bad ist gross, und man findet endlich mal eine Dusche mit ausreichend Platz und bestens funktionierenden Armaturen und sehr angenehmen Pfelegeprodukten. Das Restaurant serviert Gourmetküche und der Service ist sehr aufmerksam. Sauberkeit und excellenter Service ist der Stil des Hauses. Für Golfer sehr angenehm: ein 18 Loch Platz direkt hinter dem Haus. Insgesamt mindestens 4 Sterne + + Wir kommen wieder!

Nice relaxing hotel close to a golf course
I visted this hotel with my wife for a weekend away. The location is good for golfers - there is a nice golf course. We are novices in golf, still learning. For that, it was a disappointment that there wa not a drive range there. But they had a training area, where we practiced some chirping and putting. We also went for a ride for some of the scenery attractions. Unfortunately the weather was at its worst in the last days and we couldn't see al we wanted - too foggy. But it was within the reach of several nice scenic routes and places. A bit too far for a one day trip to the Blyde River Canyon. You may consider closer alternatives. But, as a place for relaxing, it is cozy and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. We didn't try the spa, but friends had recommended it to us. Maybe some other time. The restaurant, also recommended by the same firends, is a good one but not the best (3.5-4 of 5, I would say). The service is very good with very friendly and pleasant staff. We plan to return.

6/10 Good

Nonostante non avessero ricevuto alcuna prenotazione il personale è stato disponibilissimo e cortese nel trovare una soluzione al problema. L'hotel è elegante ma un poco obsoleto. Cucina curata. La colazione servita al tavolo con piatti fissi è troppo limitante alle esigenze personali, servizio frettoloso. Per il tipo di hotel le lenzuola con toppe lasciano desiderare. Forse necessita di restailing generale.

Top Class
We stayed for 2 nights in early Jan after an extended trip to the bush and Kruger. Olivers was an awesome place to relax after many days of game viewing and driving. The room we had (no 11) was fantastic, we felt like it was a palace. The food was exceptional and the staff were brilliant and very well trained. Highly recommended.

Lovely stay!
Really lovely stay in beautiful room 9. No lift though so you need to carry luggage up 2 flights of stairs. Room was stunning with lovely view over gardens.. Broken umbrella on private roof terrace and dribble of sherry in the decanter would be our only criticisms. Had great spa treatments by lovely spa staff and then an early dinner of outstandingly good food on a beautifully decorated romantic table. Returned to our room to find rose petals and candles beautifully arranged! Good nights sleep followed by a huge breakfast and another spa treatment. Would definitely return!

Relaxing and luxurious getaway
We stayed in the suite and found it very spacious and luxurious. The room was very clean and the bathroom very spacious. The bathroom even had a bidet which is rare in SA. We also used the spa for some massages which were amazing. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious and we were always treated with great hospitality.
