Great stopover in a well situated town.

We spent 2 nights at Guntree. The room was spacious and well appointed with a shared patio. The breakfast was superb. Gerry is a great host and made us very welcome, with lots of advice about sightseeing, restaurants etc.

Dit is een van die beste gastehuise waar ek nog oorgeslaap het. My benchmark is.

Die verblyf was baie aangenaam. Die gasheer is hulpvaardig sonder om opdringerig te wees.

Lekker plek met gawe gasheer.

9 nagte tydens KKNK. Die gebrek aan kaste om my hele tas uit te pak het my aanvanklik gepla, maar al die ander lekker dinge het my gou daarvan laat vergeet. Die bed het lekker geslaap. Die ligging is baie sentraal en stapafstand van alles wat ons wou doen. Kon selfs saans na die musiek van feesterrein luister. Die ontbyt is heerlik. Gerry is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die voorsiening wat gemaak was vir beurtkrag was baie bedagsaam. Kamers het elkeen sy eie buitedeur met lekker gemakstoele buite en kuierplekke in die mooi tuin. Het baie lekker daar gebly.

Nice place with nice host.

9 nights during KKNK. The lack of cupboards to unpack my entire suitcase bothered me at first, but all the other nice things soon made me forget about it. The bed slept well. The location is very central and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Could even listen to the music from the festival grounds at night. The breakfast is delicious. Gerry is friendly and very helpful. The provision made for load shedding was very thoughtful. Rooms each have their own outside door with nice easy chairs outside and places to hang out in the beautiful garden. Had a great stay there.

Gumtree was ideaal geleë vir die KKNK venues en restaurante.

Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en gasvry en die ontbyte heerlik en keurig. Die buitekamers is nie heeltemal privaat nie, aangesien hulle aangrensend op 'n stoep uitloop.

Very nice guest house, great hosts.

Although we stayed only for one night we were warmly welcomed. Phil gave us lots of practical tips and even sketched little maps to make sure we got to the right places. We really enjoyed our stay, the tranquility of the garden, the lovely breakfast and we can't thank you enough for your efforts with our left-behind purse. You saved our day!

Thank you for your review Antje! It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and to have you all stay at Gumtree GH. Hopefully, we will see you again at Gumtree in the not too distant future.

Gumtree Guest House 's response

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review although we are a little puzzled by your ratings. It is a pity that you said nothing to us when you were here about your concerns. When you departed, you told us you were happy and said you would return on your next trip to Oudtshoorn.

However we will double check your room and ensure that there are no problems - we do take cleanliness seriously. We have had no complaints or concerns from guests occupying the room you did since you left, but we will still double check this thoroughly.

I apologize for the dust and will take the necessary steps to ensure that this does not happen again.

Regards,

Phil

Uitstekende verblyf - smaakvolle kamers toegerus met alle fasiliteite.

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring om hier tuis te gaan! Ons gasheer en gasvrou het geen moeite ontsien om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak nie - van aanbevelings oor restaurante, die doen van besprekings namens ons ens. Die filterkoffie in die kamers was 'n lekker verassing. Ook die verwelkomingsdrankies in die kroegie.

Excellent accommodation - tasteful rooms equipped with all facilities.

It was a wonderful experience to go home here! Our host and hostess spared no effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible - from restaurant recommendations, making reservations on our behalf etc. The filter coffee in the rooms was a nice touch. Also the welcome drinks in the bar.

Phil was very accommodating and found us alternative accommodation due to a booking error on my part. Very neat rooms - perfect for a family with adjoining en-suite rooms. Breakfast was fantastic.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike aand van ontspan en lekker lag.

Ons is met ons aankoms vriendelik verwelkom. Ons is dadelik na ons kamer geneem wat verskriklik netjies was. Ons het later ook 'n verwelkomingsdrankie ontvang. Die swembad was ook vreeslik lekker en die ontbyt was absoluut vyfster. Ons sal dit vir al ons vriende aanbeveel.

It was an unforgettable evening of relaxation and good laughs.

We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival. We were immediately taken to our room which was very clean. Later we also received a welcome drink. The pool was also very nice and the breakfast was absolutely five star. We will recommend it to all our friends.
