Olive Grove Guest Farm in Beaufort West, Western Cape (original) (raw)

Olive Grove Guest Farm is a 3 star graded B&B with self catering option, offering Beaufort West accommodation for tourists and visitors of the Karoo.

Olive Grove Guest Farm is a true oasis; ideal for corporate travellers and families alike. There is a special atmosphere evident perhaps due to the olive orchards that are unexpected in the Karoo. This is also a working sheep and game farm.

We are ideally situated only 15km off the main N1 route. Accommodation consists of seven Mountain View Chalets and six Olive Orchard Guest Rooms. All the units are TGCSA Graded and AA Highly Recommended; value for comfort in the Karoo.
