What an amazing Guest House. A warm welcome by Phil was followed by an introductory tour of our rooms and a brief overview of the facilities. Attention to detail in the beautiful and spacious rooms was unbelievable and very welcome. The view over immaculate gardens and pool area was stunning - what a well kept and well run place. Phil's...

This was our 2nd stay at The Gumtree. Phil and Linda are great hosts and friendly staff! The children were able to play in the garden and not disturb the other guests. Breakfast was tasty and the warm freshly baked bread was the BEST. We stayed in for dinner most nights (as we travelled with small children) and Phil and... More

Aside from the warm greeting by Phil and his wife, we were most impressed by the meticulous care in which Phil takes with amenities and advice.

But then that would not be doing justice to the rooms (nice, clean), the lodge (nice pool, view, super location), or the food (everything local: cheeses, yoghurt, ...). We stayed two nights and wished we had time for more. We are... More

The Gumtree was exceptional value and I would not hesitate to recommend it if you're visiting the area. Three of us stayed there for one night and the owners were very accommodating and helpful. The rooms (we had 2 rooms in the cottage unit) were very clean, very well stocked and comfortable with 1 double and 2 single beds. The... More
