This Is Olivewood Private Estate & Golf Club

On the North Eastern edge of East London, on the southern banks of the Chintsa River, lie 1000 hectares of South African rolling green hills, all within a fully monitored electrified fence for your peace of mind. This is Olivewood Private Estate & Golf Club: live here, wed here, dine here, conference here, play here, stay here and celebrate here.

Olivewood is a world class secure estate comprising residential belts, one of South Africa’s most beautiful wedding venues, a 48-bed boutique hotel, a conference centre, formal and casual dining and a championship 18-hole golf course. To live here is to have access to the tranquil and wild Chintsa River allowing you to walk all the way to Haga-Haga in one direction and Chintsa West in the other.

Secure Coastal Living

Olivewood Private Estate & Golf Club’s stands and homes have been hand-picked to allow residents permanent access to world-class security and freedom. Picture a home set amongst thousands of indigenous trees with habituated Nyala, Impala, Waterbuck, Duiker and a slew of resident and migratory birds.

Here children are free: exploring, riding bikes and playing at will – akin to the lifestyles of our parents and grandparents. Competitively-priced stands provide the nature-loving aesthete with a primary residential, second-home or retirement scenario just 30 minutes from the Eastern Cape city of East London with hospitals, schools and an airport.

Feedback From Our Guests

It was good playing there. Magnificent greens and the service at the gate, clubhouse and golfcarts were excellent. I would love to play there again.

Olivewood Private Estate & Golf club is the perfect getaway, whether it be for just the day or even a whole weekend. Their team of well trained staff are the perfect amount of friendly and professional. The gardens and surroundings are worth mentioning too, as they are to die for. Definitely worth a visit or two.

It’s a beautiful place with a wonderful golf course. The newly built accommodation is absolutely amazing. Wildlife all around and it is a sight to be seen. Located just out of East London central. Do yourself a favor and pay the lovely place a visit.
