This property was well maintained and had secure parking. We appreciated that it was only a block to the Main Street and close to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

A great stopover, very friendly and convenient too
Phil and Linda made us very welcome and made our stay really enjoyable. We have stayed at the Gumtree previously and will no doubt return. The garden is lovely and there is a pool for cooling off after a long drive. Phil cooks a very good breakfast and Linda's fruit salad is lovely. We would recommend.

One of the very best—stay here.
On the road 800+ nights around the world and this is one of the best, in every way. Super location, close but not too close to town—-quiet, beautiful morning birdsong. Clean, very comfortable bed and room—very peaceful, restful sleep. First rate room. Breakfast was superb—locally sourced, fresh juice, excellent cold and hot food, homemade bread. Beautiful breakfast room. And proprietors Phil and Linda all pull off this first rate guesthouse with graciousness and warm hospitality. And very, very interesting and engaging people they both are—just first rate human beings running a first rate guest house. You can’t and won’t go wrong—stay here if you are in or near Outdshoorn. You will be very happy you did.
