Gum Tree Glen

Incredible views! Comfortable beds and good quality bedding.

We had an overnight stay and we loved it. The accommodation is really lovely and everything you need is available. The views are absolutely incredible. We had such a good night's rest. We will most definitely be back for a longer stay.

I was happy.

Awesome place, the road needs attention, suited for 4x4s.

Amazing accommodation at a very reasonable price. Loved our little getaway!

What an amazing place. We only booked for one night stay, as we were swimming Capital K at Midmar Dam on the Sunday. On arrival, we were greeted by Peta, who made us feel totally at home and welcome. The Wrinkly Tin cottage was beautiful, clean and was a lot more than we expected. All in all, it was one of the best places I have been to in the Midlands. My husband and I had actually said whilst sitting on the verandah, we forgot about the "outside" world and all your daily stresses. We will definitely be booking again.

Very peaceful and tranquil.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peta is a wonderful host who made us feel at home.

Rustige, skoon en warm plekkie.

Ongelooflike uitsig van die stoep af. Skoon, warm plek vir die winter. Gasvrou behulpsaam en doen ekstra moeite. Oorslaap was heerlik, ons wou langer bly. Sal definitief beplan vir 'n langer kuier volgende keer.

Cosy with a beautiful view.

Mooiste uitsig, met baie vriendelike diens. 'n Wonderlike gasvrou.

Everything you need, peaceful, amazing host.

Absolutely brilliant. Spotlessly clean. Lovely accommodation. Peaceful surroundings. Very comfy bed and great bedding. Absolute bliss, couldn't wish for more. An absolute gem away from the hustle and bustle. Lovely extra little unexpected touches by Peta, which were such a treat.

A nice stayover in a beautiful part of our country.

Stunning view. The host went through extra trouble to accommodate us on short notice. Nice touches with fresh milk, eggs and rusks for breakfast.

Het omgewing goed verken. Is goed geleë daarvoor.

Baie lekker gebly met 'n rustige plaasatmosfeer. Gasvrou het ons hartlik ontvang. Alles wat jy nodig het is beskikbaar. Is bederf met meer as normale vir selfbediening verblyf.

Oulike huisie met pragtige uitsig met alles wat jy benodig. Gasvryheid en veilig.

Heerlik! Pragtige uitsig. Gasvrou baie gaaf. Ons is heerlik bederf met vars plaaseiers, melk, sjerrie, brood, alle tees, koffie, en beskuit. Die huisie was heerlik knus en is verwarm met ons aankoms. Elektriese komberse op alle beddens, net reg vir die koue weer van die Midlands. Dankie vir 'n heerlike oorslaap!

Pragtige plekkie met pragtige uitsig.

Pragtige plekkie. Het lekker geslaap en die uitsig is asemrowend.

Beautiful spot, even greater if one can use the verandah (in nice weather).

We love the area and had a very peaceful stay. The cottage was great for the 2 nights, superb inside - it's just too difficult to come onto the veranda and entrance or leave the cottage. The steps are hideous, too steep, not suitable for older persons or persons with physical disabilities. The very rocky 'gravel' road leading to the cottage is a bit long and guests really need a stronger vehicle with good clearance.

Great stay. Unit nice and clean.

The stay was great. The dirt road is only 3 km long and is suitable for normal cars driven at low speed.

Mooi plek, wonderlike gasvryheid en baie vriendelik. Grondpad is 'n uitdaging.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Loadshedding was ongelukkig deel van die naweek en het die eetreeëls moeilik gemaak. Die gasvrou het egter vir ons 'n flits beskikbaar gestel en die meeste van die bedlampies in die kamer het gloeilampies gehad wat gewerk het. Die grondpad na Gum Tree is nie 'n baie mooi pad nie. 'n Bakkie / 4x4 / of SUV sal makliker die pad ry, gewone voertuie moet egter baie stadig ry. Die uitsig op die plaas is pragtig. Die omgewing is baie mooi. Die gasvrou en haar broer was baie vriendelik en regtig baie behulpsaam.

Pragtig, skoon & netjies en sal ons vir seker weer sien!

Baie lekker gebly, sal vir seker aanbeveel. Aanwysings van die pad af kan verbeter, moontlik met 'n "pindrop" by die teerpad wat afdraai na grondpadjie tot by GumTree Glen.

Very quiet place, not really much to do besides read a book or sleep.

Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short. Work circumstances called us and we couldn't stay there the full time. Only spent one night there.

Absolutely fantastic.

This was an absolute bliss of a holiday. I can only thank the host for their hospitality and kindness. I will recommend Gum Tree Glen to anyone that wishes for a peaceful holiday with the best views. I can fault nothing of our stay with Gum Tree Glen. Thank you.

Weggesteekte klein juweel in die Middelande.

Peta was uiters vriendelik met baie raad en idees. Die plekkie is knus en volledig ingerig, sal enige tyd weer gaan. Ek kan dit beslis aanbeveel. Heerlik stil en weg van enige gejaag, lieflike uitsig. Dankie Peta.

Die plekkie is oulik en die uitsig is fantasties.

Ons het heerlik geslaap.

Well-equipped, comfortable, and affordable accommodation.

Loved our stay at Wrinkly Tin Cottage, Gum Tree Glen. Peaceful, relaxing location that is easy to access. The cottage was clean with a well-equipped kitchen, and having 2 bathrooms is such a plus. Peta was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again.

Baie lekker. Vreeslik geniet.

Die gasvrou, Peta was fantasties. Vinnig op e-pos-vrae gereageer en vriendelik ontvang. Was vrygewig met reisinligting oor die area vir besoeke. Die studio wat ons in gebly het, het al die tiks gehad, melk in die yskas, tee, koffie en moerkoffie en beskuit plus 6 plaaseiers. Sal beslis aanbeveel. Dankie, Peta.

Excellent value for a comfortable home with all amenities.

The house is a quaint, comfortable one with everything one needs. It overlooks a beautiful valley and is well situated for day visits to the Midlands attractions. Value for money was excellent, and our hostess was very helpful and accommodating.

Absolutely fabulous.

We were sorry that we were only staying for 1 night. Would love to come back and stay longer. Very tranquil in beautiful surroundings and the cottage has everything one needs.

Cosy little cottage with everything you need.

We felt so welcome, Peta makes you feel so comfortable. The little things were noted with great surprise, the cherry that was waiting for us including fruit juice, butter, bread and fresh eggs. It really was a great stay.

Travelled to Karkloof for the MTB race - excellent accommodation and service.

What a delightful cottage. So beautifully appointed and such attention to detail. Lovely host who really went above and beyond. Lovely to have 2 x bathrooms and the water was lovely and hot. Hope to visit again. Sadly, we arrived very late and had to leave very early the following morning so never got to enjoy the cottage to the fullest.

Heerlike oorslaap.

Ek kan Gum Tree Glen verseker aanbeveel. Dit is baie goed toegerus en alhoewel dit baie ongure weer was was die eenheid snoesig warm. Peta het uit haar pad gegaan en baie ekstra bederfies bygesit soos lekker vars melk, eiers, brood en selfs 'n vrugtesap. Ons sal verseker weer daar kuier.

Most awesome place, peaceful and relaxing.

Friendly. Clean, awesome view.

Stunning little cottage. Well equipped.

Truly enjoyed our stay and the view was breathtaking.

Glorious setting.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at the quaint Gum Tree Glen. It was an exciting drive down the dust road through the surrounding farmlands with the most wonderful scenery. The cottage is rustic and quaint with everything we needed. The view is perfect. We loved it and will be back. Excellent value for money.

Beautiful, peaceful. Well-equipped.

We couldn't have asked for anything more. Peta was so accommodating and helpful. We loved the place and will recommend it to friends.

Great view and enjoyed the stay.

The Studio was sufficiently equipped, a nice peaceful area. Peta is a good hostess. We enjoyed the area during the stay.

Peaceful environment.

Peta is a great hostess. Friendly and caring about your comfort etc. Would just say that the bathrooms are dark and need a facelift. Otherwise, it is a lovely cottage!

Relaxed, country setting with old world charm.

Peta was an excellent hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Wrinkly Tin cottage had everything one could need.

Rustige wegbreek van die besige stadslewe.

Ons het in die einde in die huisie gebly, die uitsig met die sonsopkoms was regtig besonders. Die beddegoed was van hoë kwaliteit wat die elektriese komberse wat voorsien was nie eens nodig gemaak het vir 'n goeie nagrus nie.

Perfect country getaway.

Well equipped gorgeous cottage in a fantastic location. Our host Peta was very friendly and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable. Loved our stay.

Voel soos plaaslewe op sy beste, sonder die verantwoordelikheid om beeste of skape op te pas.

Ons was 5 dames en het nie onveilig gevoel nie, als was daar wat ons nodig gehad het, selfs toe dit load shedding was, het hulle lampies reg gehad vir ons. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan.

Delightful place to stay and loved all the quirky little touches. Excellent value for money.

Would recommend Gum Tree Glen any time.

Ii was great.

I will definitely book again. Peta is a lovely lady. She called us to check if we are ok.

Dis hier waar jy kom rustig raak. Mooiste uitsig en natuurskoon om al die stad se gedruis te laat wegvee.

Ons het Midmar Myl geswem en het op die pragstuk van 'n selfsorgplekkie afgekom. Dis baie veilig om daar te gaan rustig raak. Ons het die voorreg gehad om die Vrydagaand reën te kry daar, iets besonders mooi om te sien daar. Die pad daarheen is 'n klipperige tweespoorpaadjie wat jy met SUV of bakkie moet aandurf. Die huis is baie netjies en mooi skoon. As jy wil braai, gebruik eerder charcoal, want hierdie groen deel van ons land het nie droë hout nie, so ek sal volgende jaar 'n ander plan maak.

Lekker rustig met alles wat jy nodig het.

Gumtree Glen het 'n pragtige uitsig en het alles wat jy nodig het. Die rustige atmosfeer laat jou dadelik ontspan. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en laat mens baie welkom voel. Die 3km grondpad is ongelukkig nie geskik vir lae karre nie en die pad heen en weer het ons 'n paar keer laat asem ophou.

Peaceful, beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful, quiet surroundings. Hosts very friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make our stay more comfortable. Studio was perfect, warm and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Definitely recommend it.

Comfortable overnight stay.

Peaceful, clean and comfortable. Good value for money in homely surroundings. Well-stocked fridge and welcoming sherry carafe to warm the soul.

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet. Elke ding in die kothuis is met sorg gekies. Dis keurig, fyn en kunstig. Ons het opgelet na al die heerlike bederfies bv. eiers, appels, elektriese komberse, baie boeke en tydskrifte en vele meer.

Die huisie is pragtig. Kunstig. Vol ekstras. Daar's appels in die mooiste bak gewees, vars eiers, pragtig gemeubileer. Alles laat mens spesiaal voel. Daar's boeke en tydskrifte om te lees, 'n heerlike kuierstoep. Ons het gebraai buite. Die natuurskoon is 'n bonus. Dis stil en rustig. Die eienaar is gasvry. Ek kan regtig hierdie plek aanbeveel. Ek wil graag ook weer teruggaan vir langer.

Wonderful.

Our stay has exceeded our expectations. Peta and Terry were very helpful n accommodating. Great attention to detail. Very clean. Will most certainly go back.

Beeldskone natuur.

Die natuur is werklik iets besonders en die rustigheid welkom na die gejaag van die stad. Ons het slegs een aand oorgebly op pad na 'n ander bestemming. Peta was 'n wonderlike gasvrou en het ons baie welkom laat voel.

Fantasties.

Toe ons daar aankom was die gasvrou daar om ons so vriendelik te ontvang. Alles was so skoon en gerieflik en ekstras om ons so welkom te laat voel.

Dit was 'n voorreg om daar te kon kuier.

Lieflikste uitsig. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was in die huisie. Kon net rustig ontspan of na die vele besienswaardighede en restaurante in die omgewing gaan. Was 'n belewenis. Iets vir almal se smaak. Goeie ligging. Asemrowende uitsig. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Toonbeeld van 'n ou-wêreldse gasvryheid.

Wanneer 'n mens vars botter, brood en eiers met ontvangs kry, weet jy, jy is welkom. Die kothuis is pragtig geleë en baie goed toegerus. Ons gesin het 'n heerlike tyd gehad in die Middelande.

Alles was perfek.

Die mense was so vriendelik.

Most beautiful place on Earth.

Gum Tree Glen is the most beautiful cottage away from everything, if your soul and heart seek rest, this is the place. The cleanest most beautiful place and so easily accessible. There were milk, eggs, butter and bread in the fridge. Not once this weekend were we bothered by people. The view was incredible. This is a place where any person, young or old, appreciates nature again. We will definitely go back again.

Onbeskryflik!

Baie goeie diens. Vriendelike, behulpsame mense. Stunning uitsig! Baie mooi huis met ekstra bederfies! Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer daar stop! Baie dankie vir alles Peta!

Die mooiste kothuis met pragtigste uitsig!

Die kothuis is smaaklik gemeubileerd en luuks toegerus met die heerlike bedlinne en meer as wat nodig is in die kombuisie met ekstra beferfies! Hier wil ek sommer vir 'n maand lank kom bly en sal maklik die stad verruil vir hierdie pragtige plek!

Baie dankie. Lekker gekuier.

Ons gasvrou, Peta, het baie moeite gedoen en gesorg vir vars brood, eiers, lemoensap en selfs botter. Alles was skoon en netjies en ons het heerlik gekuier.

Saligheid in die hoogste graad.

Baie dankie vir al die ekstra bederf om ons verblyf ekstra spesiaal te maak!

Peaceful overnight stay

Well appointed cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Peaceful getaway with stunning views.

The attention to personal comfort and those special little touches by the owner made our stay very memorable.

The road going to Gum Tree Glen is tricky, but the owner advised us of this well in advance.

Rustig, pragtige omgewing en uitsig!

Presies wat ons in gedagte gehad het - rustig, uitsig oor omgewing, netjies en skoon met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Het ons tyd daar baie geniet!

Gemaklik en ontspannend.

Het ons geakkommodeer om bespreking 3 keer te verander. Dankie daarvoor!

Place was clean and tidy.

The roads to get to the accommodation were terrible.

Baie rustig privaat. ’n Goeie rusplek. Baie netjies en baie lekker - sal graag weer wil gaan.

Pragtige plek met mooi natuur. Die eenheid is pragtig en die beddens is lekker. Baie veilig.

Beautiful location.

Lovely, comfortable, clean cottage with amazing views. The milk, butter, eggs, bread etc. was wonderful for breakfast and the sherry on our cold wet arrival was most welcome.

'n Ongelooflike plek, in die hart van die Midlands Meander met 'n super gasvrou.

Ons het 'n fantastiese tyd gehad en die plek was skoon, netjies en vol persoonlikheid. Peta, ons gasvrou doen vreeslik baie moeite om die verblyf baie lekker te maak. Sal vir seker weer oorbly, maar vir meer as een nag.

A very pleasant stay

Gum Tree Glen greeted us with a warm welcome, the studio flat was spacious and clean with everything we needed. What a lovely hilltop view over the neighboring farms, we even heard a jackal. And then they went the extra mile providing farm milk, bread, eggs and butter in the fridge enough to cook our own breakfast. Let me not forget about the sherry which was a lovely spoil. Thank you for a lovely comfortable stay :-)

Pragtige uitsig, lieflike huis.

Aanwysings kort regtig aandag. By geen afdraai is daar ‘n naambordjie wat jou die versekering gee dat jy op die regte pad is nie. Die eerste bordjie wat Gum Tree Glen gesê het, was 80 m van die huisie af.

'n Wonderlike ervaring!

Dit voel soos huis toe kom. Die gasvrou gee om, laat weet indien daar beurtkrag is en hoe laat, beveel besienswaardigehede aan en is betrokke. Dis lekker bederf!

Enjoyable stay.

Pleasant stay, central located as a base camp to explore the area. The main access is a bit difficult when wet, however, the secondary access was much easier. Very friendly reception, made us feel welcome, will visit again.

Baie lekker.

Het dit baie geniet. View is amazing.

Rustige, pragtige verblyf met 'n mooi uitsig!

Ons kan Gum Tree Glen beslis aanbeveel. 'n Baie mooi plek ver van al die gewoel af. Skoon, netjiese verblyf met die rustigheid van plase in die omgewing. Die pad is wel bietjie stamperig maar die mooi van die omgewing maak op daarvoor.

A peaceful stay with a lovely view.

A peacefu place to escape.

Clean accommodation. Coffee, tea, rusks, eggs fresh farm milk and sherry "nogal" was made available to us. Very nice touch!

A bit too far out of our way. A sign "Gum Tree Glen" on the farm gate leading up to property would be most useful. We rode past gate twice until we got phone directions from owner.

Die plek sien my weer!

Wat ‘n warm, knus, netjiese huisie met ‘n wow uitsig! Alles was netjies en skoon en die beddegoed ruik fantasties! Sien julle weer! Volgende keer vir langer.

Rus vir die siel!

Pragtige plek! Die blyplek is goed toegerus. Die gasvrou het ons bederf met 'n klomp kos vir ons selfsorg-ontbyt. Die feit dat dit 'n privaat grondpad is daarteen, het bygedra dat dit heerlik stil was. Daar is baie om te doen in die omgewing.

Excellent!

We had the warmest welcome with hosts really going the extra mile. Waking up to stunning views and going to bed at night in the cutest little cottage. We loved our stay and will surely be back!

It is very fine and friendly accommodation - with love!

It is like an oasis with water and green landscapes as well as friendly people and very nice rooms. This is all near the town. So you can be refreshed as well as entertained by going to town. Keith and Pat are special, kind people.

Perfekte ligging met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Was vriendelik en goed verwelkom. Plek is baie netjies en skoop. Perfek vir ‘n wegbreek van alles af.

Friendly, neat, clean and beautiful views.

A suggestion would be bigger, better sign marking for the roads to the cottage. Felt a little lost while getting there.

Saligheid en pragtige uitsig.

Wat ‘n ongelooflike rustige, pragtige plek. Die gasvryheid en behulpsaamheid van die eienaars was verfrissend, en die spierwit linne en sagste komberse was ‘n noodsaaklikheid in die koel mistige oggendlug.

Lieflike houthuis met pragtige uitsig.

Aangekom in digte mis. Padaanwysings was baie duidelik. Howick is net 'n kort entjie van Gum Tree Glen af. Pragtige omgewing, lieflike verblyf. Vriendelike gasvrou. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

A beautiful, affordable, quirky cottage close to wedding venues in the area with helpful, attentive hosts.

So happy we found Gum Tree Glen! We needed affordable accommodation for a wedding we were part of nearby. We were horrified by the high prices of other venues in the area. So we picked the cheapest one and arrived with zero expectations, simply needing a place to rest our heads. We were so pleased by the beautiful cottage and the helpfulness of host, Peta, when we got lost in the early hours of the morning. Peta is warm and generous, providing us with bread, fresh milk and eggs. She really went above and beyond your standard host. The cottage is an eclectic mix of comforts and quirkiness. Anything you'd need is provided, even though the cottage is self-catering. We felt taken care of in the height of our bridal party panic. Staying at Gum Tree Glen made a really stressful weekend a whole lot more calm and serene. Highly recommended!

Wonderlik!

Die pad na die plek toe is nie lekker nie, as ek geweet het hoe lyk die pad, sou ek met 'n bakkie gery het, maar verder was alles 100%. Die mense is vriendelik, die plekkie is baie baie mooi en netjies en skoon en die uitsig is verby mooi!

Rustige oornag.

Ons is warm en vriendelik ontvang. Pragtige uitsig vanaf stoep. Ons het so lekker geslaap op die sagte beddens ooit, met heerlike beddegoed. Het bietjie gesukkel met gasstoof, want ons is nie gewoond aan een. Sal enige tyd weer daar oornag. Baie dankie Peta vir al jou hulp en aanwysings en kom haal.

Netjiese en knus plekkie vir 'n aande se verblyf.

Gum Tree Glen is 'n netjiese, skoon en knus plekkie vir 'n enkelreisiger of iemand wat 'n aand se verblyf soek saam met hulle eggenoot.

Netjies en goed toegerus.

Netjiese verblyf met alles wat mens benodig. Aanwysings nie baie duidelik, grondpad sleg op sekere plekke na die reën.

Baie netjies en skoon - voel sommer dadelik tuis.

Met aankoms het Peta vir ons gewag by die huisie. Die plek is baie mooi en jy voel sommer dadelik tuis. Ruim huisie met alles wat benodig word. Peta baie dankie vir die lekkernye/kos wat jy vir ons gegee het - my man het die plaasvars melk baie geniet!

Dit was heerlik!

Ons is vriendelik ontvang met 'n heerlike glasie sjerrie en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Die huisie was lekker warm en gesellig en ons het heerik gebly.

Perfekte oornagplek.

Baie netjies en skoon. Ekstras soos eiers, joghurt, vrugtesap was beskikbaar. Thanks, Peta, for the lovely stay, wish we could stay a bit longer!

Beautiful farm-setting.

Very friendly hosts. We stayed in the tin roof house which is beautiful. Well-equipped, spacious, clean with serene atmosphere. Stunning verandah to relax on. The farm eggs, bread, fruit juice, sherry etc. in unit was a really thoughtful touch. Battled a bit with farm roads. Perfect place to stay once there, not to pop in and out of. I would definitely go back.

Lekker rustige wegbreek op 'n plaas.

Ons het in die nag aangekom, eienares en haar dogter het baie moeite gedoen om seker te maak ons ry die regte pad. Ons is hartlik ontvang. Daar was 'n hele klomp eerbare bederfies wat ons ingewag het en 'n glasie teen die koue. Ons was aangenaam verras en het heerlik daar gekuier en gerus. Lekker wegbreekplekkie.

Comfortable accommodation in restful location.

The house is spacious and well furnished and had a lovely view. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with surprise extras. The property is 5 minutes down a dirt road which is not a problem for a normal vehicle and only 15 minutes from Howick.

Sal definitief weer daar bly.

Ek sal Gum Tree Glen definitief aanbeveel vir die wat uit die stad wil ontsnap. Gashere is besonders en die uitsig fantasties, ek sou wel nie met 'n lae motor in reën seisoen daar probeer kom nie. Verder is dit 'n 10/10-plekkie.

Netjies.

Baie netjies. Klein, maar die omgewing is pragtig. Redelik ver van winkels, so maak seker jy koop vooraf jou eet- en drinkgoed.
