De Rustica Olive Estate - International Award Winning Olive estate in De Rust, Klein Karoo, Route 62, Western Cape, South Africa
De Rustica Olive Estate has been awarded a most remarkable accolade at the internationally renowned and highly prestigious EVOOLEUM Awards in Spain for 2023.
Surrounded by World Heritage Sites and unique floral diversity, De Rustica Olive Estate is situated deep in the picturesque Swartberg Mountains near De Rust in the Klein Karoo, Southern Cape.
Good soils, cold winters, pure mountain water, and Cape sunshine create an optimal olive terroir.
Our carefully selected Italian cultivars are hand-picked and pressed on the estate. These ideal growing conditions, and the artisanal care taken in the production and blending processes, result in the exceptional quality of our ultra premium, award winning, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
Not everybody might know that De Rustica does not only produce olive oil, but also offers the following:
1. Very informative "From olive to oil" tours. Each tour includes an oil tasting session, which can be booked separately from a tour. Our guests love these olive oil-tasting sessions!
2. "From the farm to the fork" lamb-in-the-box, each box with prime cut vacuum packed mixed or braai packs.
3. Delicious platters and non-alcoholic beverages are available at our showroom.
4. Self-catering accommodation at Asher Stable Stay.

De Rustica Farm Style Accommodation
Our accommodation offers 7 comfortable units, 3 twin rooms (2 single beds) and 4 double rooms (1 double bed). Each room is equipped with the basic, but modern necessities. We choose to appreciate the safety, peacefulness, scenery, and beauty of nature around us more than luxury technology, thus escaping the hassle and bustle of day-to-day traffic and rat race!
In addition to these, we also offer The Still’s Residence, a luxury 3-bedroom house (sleeps 6 – 8). With unspoiled views, a modern and fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable rooms, and an outdoor entertainment/braai area, this promises to be an unforgettable Klein Karoo breakaway for a family or group of friends. Unfortunately, it cannot be booked through the normal booking system (like the other units) and you need to call or email us for more information. See more images in the “Gallery” below.
All accommodation includes:
- Free internet access
- Free olive wood (for braai or fireplace)
- Safe under-roof parking
- The complete De Rustica olive oil range (and olives) at factory prices
