Olievenhoutsrus Guest- & Game Farm

Olievenhoutsrus Guest- & Game Farm is a accommodation establishment located in the heart of the Waterberg Biosphere, approximately two hours north of Pretoria. It offers a variety of accommodation options, including two cozy Rondavels that sleep two people, and two to three comfortable Family Cottages that can accommodate four to six people. All units are equipped with a fridge, microwave, and coffee and tea making facilities.

The thatched Rondavels feature a bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, as well as an open-plan lounge and kitchenette. The Family Cottages have two to three bedrooms, a bathroom, and an open-plan lounge and kitchen area. The accommodation is set in a beautiful garden with views of the bushveld, where guests can observe various game species grazing nearby.

The establishment provides central facilities, including a lapa with braai facilities, a fully-equipped kitchen, DStv, a swimming pool, and a large open fireplace, which is popular for social evenings under the stars. Guests can enjoy self-guided game and bird watching walks, as well as horse and pony rides on the farm.

Olievenhoutsrus Guest- & Game Farm is conveniently located en-route to Botswana, making it an ideal stopover for overland travelers. For these adventurous visitors, the farm offers a neat bushveld campsite tucked away in the bush and away from the Main Lodge. The campsite has its own ablution block, and guests can bring their tents, off-road trailers, or caravans to enjoy nature at its best. Camping is an opportunity to experience the wildlife up close and take leisurely walks around the game reserve. It is important to note that there is no electricity at the campsite, and water is heated via a donkey heating system.
