The toilet forms part of an open bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. If you prefer this part of your relationship to remain private then this is not for you. :(

We absolutely oved everything. It’s exactly what they promise and the attention to detail is excellent.

It can get extremely windy but that's nature... We had great weather on the 1st night and day but it just turned crazy the next afternoon. The wind was relentless and blew for 14hrs straight, from late afternoon right through the night till the next morning. It was quite an experience. Also the road to get to the cottage is suited for bakkies and SUV's. Apart from that everything else was perfect.

Everything....a great place to unwind and reset. Very private and cozy. The cottage has everything you need and is very well thought out. We especially loved the bathroom with the view, the wood fired hot tub and the pizza oven. We absolutely LOVED our stay.

Although it was a little windy, the stay was awesome! Best place we have been in the area.

Cupboard / shelf space in the bathroom is lacking, but that as bad as it gets.

Pretty much everything. Apart from the secluded location, the beautiful views, the ample space in the units, and the beautiful decor, the attention to detail surpassed anything we have experienced before. The thought that went into making our stay a memorable was quite amazing. You need to experience it for yourself to understand what I mean.

The wind did not always played along, however the weather cannot be predicted/ ordered with the “package”.

Mother Nature at its best and only an hour from Cape Town.

Amazing stay with a great view and all the amenities you could need to get away for a bit. Everything is done exceptionally well. It is the perfect escape if you love making food and the outdoors.

The road leading to the property is not an easy drive and not suited for all vehicles.

This property offered everything it was designed to offer…an off grid escape, without compromising on comfort.

The loo doesn’t have a door and is directly attached to the bedroom which also doesn’t have a door leading to the kitchen! The wind (which the property knows about as it’s addressed in the handbook) is raging and you can’t sleep without earplugs but they are provided. Pre-ordered pizzas were disappointing and massage was very average.

Beautiful setting and view with comfortable interiors.

The final section of road leading to Olive View has parallel strips of loose bricks which were just about passable in our VW Polo. We didn’t feel comfortable using the car during our stay as we were concerned about the risk of punctures - I wouldn’t recommend staying here without an SUV or similar (needs to be mentioned in booking site). Anticipating from other comments that this could be an issue, we came prepared with enough food for our complete stay (4 days). However, the biggest issue was the wind on this hilltop - it was gale force and blew for 3/4 of our stay - very noisy all day and night and preventing use of the outdoor facilities over this period. The window blinds do not block all sunlight so the unit also heats up quickly in the day and the aircon switches off automatically in the evening (not mentioned in the booking site) which made sleep difficult at times. Other niggles included no door to the en-suite toilet so sounds/ smells enter the bedroom and a section of the onsite walking trail being very overgrown. Arrive in calmer, cooler weather, in an SUV and you would have a better experience.

Well furnished cabin with quality kitchen equipment, comfy bed and fantastic braai, pizza oven and outdoor deck. Very friendly and helpful team on site who helped to quickly fix our broken fridge and turn around some laundry for us. The concept is excellent but we weren’t able to fully enjoy our stay, primarily because of the location and associated weather (see below).

Our stay at Untether was unfortunately overshadowed by a serious security issue. Being so close to Wellington, the lights from the town beam up onto the mountain, which not only detracts from the relaxing atmosphere but also seems to pose a safety risk—as we sadly experienced firsthand. I took my pregnant girlfriend for a weekend getaway to propose, but our plans were derailed when we woke up at 3 a.m. to two hooded individuals outside our unit, carrying a large bolt cutter. They smashed our car window and ransacked the vehicle. We were terrified and left as soon as we felt safe the next morning. Initially, Untether offered to cover the excess on our insurance and refund us for the weekend. However, the manager later changed their mind and revoked their offer. I’m deeply disappointed. Whatever positives the place might have had were completely overshadowed by this experience. Such a

The position of Columbus pod, whilst having amazing views is compromised by being exposed to extreme winds. These are mentioned in the literature on arrival and not on any booking information. On Sunday 7th April 2024 it tore off the roof and dismantled the wood burner. Thanks to Elretha and Willard, they helped to relocate us to Paarl in an emergency evacuation. A pity that the owners of Untether did not contact us to enquire about our safety and well-being.

The property (Columbus) has amazing views being positioned on the brow of a hill. It has facilities like the pizza oven and the hot tub which we were able to use on a couple of occasions. The shower worked well and being off grid there are no load shedding issues. The interior is thoughtfully designed with nice touches. Elretha is very quick to reply to messages / questions.
