The room and bath were large and lovely, but what really sets this place above lots of other lodging establishments is the setting in beautiful gardens which overlook a golf course and the surprisingly extensive and excellent menu and service.

Stayed here with family and friends for two nights in May 2012. Right from the moment you drive in, the team at Oliver's treat you like family. The hotel sits on the edge of a golf course and has a fabulous restaurant. We were all vegetarian and they went out if their way to ensure we were catered for. We... More

Then we decided to opr for the Raclette on Tuesday evening 17 April 2012. This was really something very special for the 4 of us. Again superb food in a cosy... More

Upon arrival at Oliver's we were greeted with a welcome drink and congratulated on our marriage. They had upgraded us to a beautiful suite which was very spacious with a lovely terrace. The restaurant at Oliver's was closed that night (Monday), so they had arranged dinner for us at a local restaurant (Magnolia) and transportation. On our return, our room... More

We live close by to Oliver's and have consistently use it for special occasions. Tanya is a most superb host ( don't challenge her to a round of cocktails..she always wins, and you will end up with a headache). The ambiance, is amazing, and you just know that you are in for a special treat. The new menu is now... More

We stayed here for 2 nights before our safari to take in the Panorama route. We arrived early at about 10:30 am, but our room was cleaned and ready for us. A great way to start! The grounds and gardens at Oliver's are absolutely gorgeous! I could have stayed to enjoy them a little longer. Our room #5, was on... More

Quick one-night stopover after safari - we thought Oliver's offered good value and comfortable accommodation. The spa was an added bonus. I had a very nice massage and manipedi for a very reasonable price. Rooms are very floral and country-style. We got upgraded to a luxury room so cannot comment on the standard one, but ours was directly by the... More

We stayed here for a wedding which was near Sudwala Caves, It's very handy for Mpumulanga / Nelspruit airport and took about an hour to the wedding, with great touring around and easy access to the Kruger Park. The hotel is perfectly appointed with comfortable chairs and table outside under cover, a pool and the ability to walk round the... More

Most people stay at Olivers for a few nights so it was extremely unusual for guests to stay for the 10 nights we stayed for. From day one to day ten we were treated like royalty, all of the hotel staff couldn't do enough for us, setting an exceptionally high standard. We ate at the hotel most nights where we... More

Stayed at Oliver's for 3 nights to acclimate to a 9 hour time difference and to tour the Panorama Route. We couldn't have been happier. The staff was fantastic, the food was excellent and the location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Our room had a beautiful view of their grounds and the golf course. As we reflect... More
