    Everything great!

    Great place to stay in Oudtshoorn - all you need (and more) to feel comfortable in a very nice house with a warm welcome, a cosy pool & garden area, good breakfast and individual advice for your trips. Gerry is the perfect host. He has a lot of excellent recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the region; not only around Oudtshoorn but he also took the time to explain some of his favorite spots on our onward journey. We will come back next time - thank you Gerry - your recommendations all worked out perfectly well and we could profit a lot from your tips & hints!

    During the annual theatre festival it can get noisy (at night) since the festival hub is very close (which is also a big plus!). With earplugs we slept good. This is only ones a year, otherwise very quiet place.

    Our stay at the Gumtree House was excellent. Gerry is such a great host, we loved to talk with him about the life in South Africa. He also called two restaurants for us that normally would not take reservations during the theatre festival Breakfast is superb and the room was comfortable and has everything you need. The pool was very refreshing cause the Karoo can get hot. Absolutely recommended! Thanks Gerry, hope to visit again.

    Our room was very comfortable with a lovely outlook that felt quite rural, even though the town was literally on our doorstep. The best thing about Gumtree was our outstanding host, Gerry. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He is a walking encyclopaedia on Oudtshoorn, its restaurants and the attractions of the entire Karoo area. He went the extra mile to make sure we missed nothing!

    A bit of a musty smell in the room but I am writing this just to write at least one negative :) wasn't an issue at all

    Very helpful owner (waited for us longer for the check in, advised great restaurant and booked a table there for us). Perfectly clean. Breakfast served in a beautiful space and very tasty. Close to the city center, walking distance to good restaurants.

    The host contacted us en route with directions and advice for timings etc I et the Swartberg Pass. He was most particular and attentive. The place is lovely, well maintained, clean and thoughtfully furnished. We wished we could have stayed longer. The pool is small but clean and with a big deck surround so very functional, sunny and a nice relaxing touch after a long drive.

    Gerry is an absolutely friendly host. He gave us tips for local activities and provided us with the best advice for our further journey. With a lot of commitment he brought the accommodation including the pool and garden back into shape. The new solar system supplies all major consumption points, even during load shedding. Also Gerry offers a great Breakfast and there is a small bar which serves you during the day.
