Perched on the upper floor of the Paddakloof manor house, The Olive Room captures the essence of Franschhoek’s olive groves – natural, grounded and enduring. With views stretching over the groves, this Superior Room feels like an extension of the land itself. The olives grown at our Luxury Estate are known for their exceptional quality, thanks to Franschhoek’s unique terroir – a perfect blend of the region’s Mediterranean climate and rich soil.
In summer, the groves burst into life, their silvery green leaves glistening under the warm sun, creating a tranquil, almost cinematic scene. Winter brings a serene transformation, with the trees stripped bare, their twisted trunks and delicate branches casting soft shadows over the landscape. No matter the season, the olive groves provide a sense of connection to the land and a moment to pause and breathe.

Inside, the room features soothing neutrals – soft creams accented by gentle hints of blue and muted green. The high ceilings enhance the spacious, free-flowing feel, while natural light fills the space. Two single beds, which can be combined into one king bed or left separate, ensure that this room is flexible, catering to both couples and those seeking more space.
The Olive Room is connected to the Pyjama Lounge, a living space shared with The Sky Room, adding another element of comfort to your stay. Styled with handpicked pieces and layered with luxury, it’s a well-considered space to enjoy your morning coffee, lounge in your robes or just spend unhurried time with family or friends. Ideal for travellers who want the privacy of five-star estates with the benefit of shared spaces.
