"What a lovely experience we had with our tour on this farm. Learn so much about the production of olive oil and what to look out for when you buy. The tasting was a surprise and so interesting. I must do when you are in the area."

"De Rustica presents a captivating and delightful experience, showcasing its magnificent olive orchards and farm. The on-site restaurant boasts stunning views, providing a serene backdrop to the dining experience. We indulged in a cheese platter, perfectly complemented by the farm's own olives and olive oil, all harmoniously paired with fresh ciabatta bread."

"What a great detour! Instead of going from Pretoria to Cape Town on the N1, we took a chance on a detour, and wow, did it pay off! This is a place that should be visited more often... a peaceful quiet farm dedicated to Olives, ranked 2nd in the world. Come, stop, enjoy some amazing produce and simply while away a few hours."
