Review Summary
Anonymous Guest - Aug 2024

Very friendly, safe and peaceful visit.
The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was very cute and there were no problems with electricity or water. The village itself is very peaceful and safe. My only criticism (which is beyond the control of the owners) is that the dirt road to get there is a bit rough, especially if you drive a small car like mine. Otherwise what a great experience!

Delicious! Beautiful view. Hostess very nice. We were deliciously spoiled with fresh farm eggs, milk, sherry, bread, all teas, coffee and biscuits. The cottage was wonderfully cozy and was heated upon our arrival. Electric blankets on all beds, just right for the cold weather of the Midlands. Thank you for a wonderful sleepover!

Claudine, I am so sorry the steps were difficult for you. We are aware they are not ideal for disabled guests, and we are planning to adapt the small step at the other end of the veranda for easier access. I'm sorry too for the poor weather! Regarding the 3km access dirt road, we have never yet had a car that hasn't been able to reach us. A guest with a very low slung Porsche recently travelled on the road several times during his stay without incident, albeit very slowly! And our neighbour, with his little Hyundai Getz, makes the journey into Howick every day along the road. I'm sorry again for any discomfort suffered by you both but we are delighted that you loved the cottage itself as much as we do!

Nice place, great hospitality and very friendly. Dirt road is a challenge.
We had a very nice stay. Loadshedding was unfortunately part of the weekend and made the eating rules difficult. However, the hostess provided us with a flashlight and most of the bedside lamps in the room had bulbs that worked. The dirt road to Gum Tree is not a very pretty road. A bakkie / 4x4 / or SUV will drive the road more easily, however, ordinary vehicles must drive very slowly. The view on the farm is beautiful. The environment is very beautiful. The hostess and her brother were very friendly and really helpful.

Hi Henk, apologies for the load shedding... It is always hugely inconvenient! We are happy you enjoyed your stay, and yes, the dirt road is not entirely comfortable for tiny cars or low-slung cars, being a bit bumpy in places, but we have never yet had a car that couldn't cope with it.. including a recent guest in his Porsche who made several trips into town and back on that road during his stay here! We hope to see you again!

This is where you come to relax. The most beautiful view and scenery to wash away all the noise of the city.
We swam Midmar Mile and came across the beauty of a self-catering place. It's very safe to go and relax there. We had the privilege of getting rain there on Friday night, something particularly beautiful to see there. The road to get there is a rocky two-lane road that you have to tackle by SUV or pick-up truck. The house is very neat and clean. If you want to barbecue, use charcoal instead, because this green part of our country does not have dry wood, so I will make another plan next year.

Monsone, it was such a pleasure hosting you guys. Sorry about the weather, we had been having exceptional rain for several weeks but we are delighted you enjoyed the wetness. We've had an unusually rainy summer but normally there would be plenty of dry wood available. The roads are usually easier to travel on when it's dry. We hope to see you again soon.

We really enjoyed it. Every thing in the cottage has been chosen with care. It's elegant, fine and artistic. We noticed all the delicious treats e.g. eggs, apples, electric blankets, many books and magazines and many more.
The house is beautiful. Artistic. Full of extras. There were apples in the most beautiful bowl, fresh eggs, beautifully furnished. Everything makes you feel special. There are books and magazines to read, a lovely patio. We had a barbecue outside. The scenery is a bonus. It's quiet and peaceful. The owner is hospitable. I can really recommend this place. I would also like to go back again for longer.

I am delighted you loved Wrinkly Tin Cottage at Gum Tree Glen.
Regarding signage, there is a Gum Tree Glen sign on the main road where you turn on to the 3 km dirt road and then a sign at the property itself! I am not quite sure where else we could put a sign, as the farm road doesn't really have any turnoffs so it is difficult to get lost.

Regarding the sign; that's why we always advise guests to follow the physical directions on the website, not go by GPS as Google earth doesn't recognise our farm road! You had taken the wrong route, so we're on a back road, the gate you refer to being someone else's private property! But we are delighted you enjoyed your stay nonetheless!

Bliss and beautiful view.
What an incredibly peaceful, beautiful place. The hospitality and helpfulness of the owners was refreshing, and the pure white linen and softest blankets were a necessity in the cool misty morning air.

Lovely wooden house with a beautiful view.
Arrived in dense fog. Road directions were very clear. Howick is only a short distance from Gum Tree Glen. Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation. Friendly hostess. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful!
The road to the place is not nice, if I had known what the road looked like, I would have driven with a van, but otherwise everything was 100%. The people are friendly, the place is very very nice and neat and clean and the view is beyond beautiful!

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay! Towing a trailer is not always ideal on our farm road, especially after the heavy rains we'd had, which had loosened all the gravel, but we hope to see you again, this time in your bakkie!

Quiet overnight.
We were warm and friendly received. Beautiful view from patio. We had such a good night's rest on the soft beds with lovely bedding. I struggled with the gas stove because we are not used to one. Will stay there again anytime. Thank you Peta for all your help and directions.

Nice peaceful break on a farm.
We arrived at night, owner and her daughter went to great lengths to make sure we were driving the right way. We were warmly received. There were a whole lot of respectable treats waiting for us and a glass against the cold. We were pleasantly surprised and had a great time visiting and resting there. Nice getaway spot.

Will definitely stay there again.
I will definitely recommend Gum Tree Glen for those who want to escape from the city. Hosts are great and the view is fantastic, I won't go there in the rainy season with a low vehicle. Other wise it is a 10/10 place.

We did only sleep over for a few hours that night, but the place was very nice, and Kerri was very hospitable and friendly. The dirt road is very rough.

Thank you very much for the snacks that are provided to ensure that we don't go hungry on the road. Thank you very much for the neat little place and hot water bottles, beautiful view that we could enjoy and your hospitality. It makes your place unique. Truly a place where one can unwind and relax. Thank you very much for making us feel so at home and welcome. Even though the road is a bit rough to get there, it was good value for money and I recommend your place to everyone I can.
