Purple Olive Guest House  

Tucked at the foot of the Magaliesberg in Pretoria’s subtropical fringe, Purple Olive Guest House sits next to the Wonderboom nature reserve. It’s about 6 km from Wonderboom Airport and roughly 7–8 km from the city centre, close to Colonade Mall, the N4 and the Rosslyn industrial area. Pet-friendly and wheelchair accessible.

There’s a bar and restaurant on site, a tour desk and transfer service for local excursions, plus 24-hour reception. Laundry, dry cleaning, ironing and a safe-deposit box are available, and a doctor is on call. Wake up to subtropical garden mornings at the foot of the Magaliesberg.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and on-site parking make business travel straightforward. Staff speak English and can arrange transfers or tour bookings.
