Gumtree Guesthouse
The Gumtree is located on the banks of the Grobbelaars River with views of the historic Suspension Bridge and Swartberg Mountains, and our garden is a haven for many different types of birds. We are very central in town, only 2 minutes walk to the nearest restaurants. We also have braai/bbq facilities at the Pool Deck which many guests take advantage of.
Breakfast is included in our rates and features fresh home-baked bread, fruit-salad, cereals, yoghurts, cheeses, meats, plus a hot (cooked-to-order) breakfast of your choice. We are trying to offer as much local produce as possible in our breakfasts i.e. the bacon, sausage, milk, yoghurts, eggs, jams, and most of the cheese are locally produced.
