    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Oaktree House. It is well appointed, very clean and tastefully furnished and decorated. Good quality beds, linen and towels. The view is breathtaking and the location unbeatable! This establishment comes highly recommended!

    Nothing. Loved everything about the home. Could recommend heaters in the rooms for cold nights. Also, a suggestion for extractors in the bathrooms to maintain the current good condition of the bathroom ceilings...avoiding mildew forming in the future. Bathrooms do steam up.

    Everything was just perfect. Beautiful well maintained home. The location was perfect, a minutes walk into the town.Awesome views. The interior was decorated with pride and joy. Clean and cozy bedrooms with private bathrooms. A great positive was the excellent supply of HOT water to cater for 12 people. Never a shortage. The home is exactly as per pictures on site. The host Rita is truly a Gem.Always available to assist if necessary. Check-in was simple and easy.

    The beautiful decorated house with the big stoep and braai with the most beautiful view of the valley and mountains. The ensuite bathrooms were a wonderful bonus! It was practical for our family needs and very close to the Market Square.

    The house is absolutely stunning with the most amazing view. We had a great time. This place is perfect for a group of friends. All rooms have their own en-suite and more than enough hot water for everyone 😁free wifi for the kids is always a must. Nice big stoep with the best view. A great place to relaxand unwind. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space with everyone.

    Unfortunately we were robbed during the night. Someone got in through the windows (all doors and front gate locked) and stole a couple of items, be mindful of what is left out as the house is easily visible from the street. This experience shook us quite a bit but still enjoyed the house. May just need electric fences or an alarm system to prevent this from happening to other guests.

    The house is even better than the pictures. Really comfortable and well set up for bigger groups, we had a great time out on the porch, braai and board games. House is well equipped and very clean, seems recently renovated. Also has a water tank and battery system which is a must for South Africa, can see owners put in a lot of thought to make it comfortable. Staff come to clean daily which is lovely on holiday. Location is excellent, 10 steps and you’re in the main square next to lovely little cafes and restaurants. Bathrooms are so clean and fresh. Very little not to like about this house.

    Not enough decent blankets for the beds and maybe winter sheeting would be nice. Maybe air conditioning in the bedrooms would be really nice.

    Location is excellent, very spacious and clean, beautiful view, we loved the old, restored furniture and art.
