It is a beautiful place, with the most beautiful view. Terribly nice patio, even though it was winter we still enjoyed it. The farm dogs constantly came to check in and have fun with us.

Wonderful Tranquility.
We got there, met the lovely dogs. The carp were very cunning in the beginning, but we were able to put their ears on. The bass are just as sneaky, but they also outwitted us twice. Life in and around the river is beautiful. By day 2 you were so calm, nothing could bother you. The staff is friendly. The place is neat. The security aspect is clear and big. Lovely four days.

The location is just what one needs to rest. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. And the dog played wonderfully with the hostess's dogs.

Delicious! Take enough mosquito gear, it's on the river. Beautiful.
We were 2 families of 4 people It was delicious, It is very rustic and the kitchen is a bit small - we took a Cadac with us so we could cook outside. A very nice weekend indeed, especially for the children with the calves as you enter.

Had a great time. If neat and in their place. Home is far from other people so one gets the feeling of being away.
There is a rowing boat and kayak, and large lawn and play park for small children. The cattle and sheep come to say hello at the gate every day. Nice fishing and swimming place.

A neat little house with a beautiful view over the Breede River.
It is very well located with a beautiful view. The cottage is on a farm so just be aware that it comes with all the usual farm sounds and life! Good value for money.

Concise Bat mess.
The location of the accommodation is excellent, but unfortunately does not make up for the cramped space where 5 people have to move - furniture is everywhere. The outside light did not work. The 1 room door handle was off. The shower only had hot water. The kitchen sink faucet is spinning, it's very loose. There was no egg yolk. The 1 kitchen chair, exactly on which I sat down, was broken. The place rots like bat mess to put it plainly and there is bat droppings everywhere. The separation between us as parents' room and the children's room is pathetic. All sound, no matter how softly you were talking or the kids were listening to music, is heard on our end. It's literally a piece of hardboard that has been painted and the children could see through (along the side) to our room. No privacy. I would say: When renting out your place you have to make sure the building is tidy and that there are no rotten smells. Nor does a kitchen and fireplace room squeeze into one small room that no one can move. Even less do we like dogs in our house, let alone the farm's dogs. Definitely not worth the money.

Still waters of rest.
If you are looking for tranquility Blue Gum Cottage is for you. It is perfectly situated on the banks of the Breede River and there is a lot to do in the area if you would like to drive around and do things. The host and wife are welcoming and easy going and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is very compact but clean and the porch is a great place to just sit and read and be peaceful. One can literally just sit there on the shore all day and watch life go by.

We had a wonderful stay. Very calm. Unfortunately the river was full of grass and fishing was not possible. Only negative is the shower facilities. Almost no water pressure and difficult to shower.
