"If you are looking for 5 star hotel accommodation - give this a miss --- This establishment is where dreams; fantasies and fairies are revisited. You would expect to see elves; gnomes; fairies and goblins frolicking in the gardens; such is the ambience created by the treehouses.
As you arrive you are likely to be greeted by Tammy and TommyÉ(the resident sheepdogs), who will insist upon the obligatory kick of their rugby ball. Immediately upon arrival, Martin (manager) Gary (owner) and Florence (the culinary wizard) will make you feel part of the family --- nothing for them is too much trouble and if you twist GaryÕs arm ever so slightly --- He will whip out his telescope and he will take you on a tour of the Galaxies way beyond our comprehension É provided the sky is clearÉ
There are 6 treehouses and each one is different and unique from Romantic to Bottle... You can never be bored! Romantic Ð lives up to its name Ð It is quirky; rickety, lopsided and full of little hand carved treasures; from wooden door hinges to door locking mechanisms Ð everything a treehouse should be. The house in spite of being a treehouse is so warm and amazingly comfortable. You can relax in the Jacuzzi with a glass of your favourite drink and watch the sun set over Giants CastleÉ or sit on the deck and watch the sunriseÉ What more can a King and Queen want of their very own tree castle!!!
The food which is served in the main dining room, is 5 star plus a lot moreÉ and there is plenty of it Ð Highest quality.
This is the ideal place to spend 2 or more days Ð It is not a typical B&B --- This is for people who still have adventure in their soul and a child in their heart. I am already planning my next escape to the world of make believeÉ
Only one small drawback -- A little bit of traffic noise from the N3."

The accommodation is quaint, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is so relaxing.

Cannot understand why it's only a 3 star. I could not find any faults and have to highly recommend it for anyone who is still a child at heart!"

"Glad we had the Faraway Tree! Was cozy and a bit out the way.Loved the home- cooked meals and friendly staff"

"We had a great time in a stunning treehouse, with excellent food and hosts. Will go back there, for sure."

"Everything was great, from the phone call while we where traveling to find out what we ate, to the rooms , the food and the hospitality. Everything was 100%. Highly recommended. Thank you."

"The wonderful quirkiness of the Fantasy Treehouse captured all of us on our arrival, particularly our three year old who loved exploring the nooks and crannies. Warm hospitality and a great meal sealed the deal. We will definitely return!"

"The 'Treehouses' are certainly full of character, beds are very comfy and the hot tubs are a nice touch. "

"We stayed for one lovely night at Sycamore Avenue in the Faraway Treehouse. This is a special place and Bruce and Gloria were fabulous hosts - we shared a lovely evening meal with them and the following morning we were served a delicious breakfast. The treehouses are unusual and make for a special and exciting stay. We enjoyed the sunshine on the balcony and later lit the fire for a cosy evening. The treehouses are enchanting and cleverly designed - every comfort has been considered and included where possible."

"As a kid, I always wanted a treehouse but our space simply didn't allow for big trees in which to build one. So as an adult, when I stumbled across this quaint lodge, I just couldn't resist fulfilling a long-standing dream. And my hubby didn't need his arm twisted either. So off we went on our honey..."

"As a kid, I always wanted a treehouse but our space simply didn't allow for big trees in which to build one. So as an adult, when I stumbled across this quaint lodge, I just couldn't resist fulfilling a long-standing dream. And my hubby didn't need his arm twisted either. So off we went on our honeymoon to stay in a treehouse - and what an incredible experience it was! So authentic. So beautiful. So quaint. So much more than even my childhood imagination could have dreamed. And as creative spirits, we so appreciated the quirky little touches Bruce & Gloria put into the decor - look out for the 'A/C' in the Romantic Treehouse ;)"

"We stayed in the Bottle Treehouse on the last night of our honeymoon, and was extremely disappointed that we did not get there earlier!

The treehouse is beautifully decorated with handmade woodcarvings!

The mist rolling in from the mountains and the surrounding trees makes this the most romantic place I've ever been!

We had a lovely dinner with our hosts, and the breakfast was brilliant!

I'll recommend this place for everyone going on honeymoon, or just looking for a romantic weekend getaway! Just make sure that you have enough time, because as soon as you get there, you will find it hard to leave!"

"We found the venue and room incredibly relaxing, to the extent that we feel more relaxed after two days than a week in another establishment.

"We found the venue and room incredibly relaxing, to the extent that we feel more relaxed after two days than a week in another establishment. To hear the birds in the tree's canopy (instead of a TV) was extremely peaceful and it was great to leave the city stresses behind. It's location is convenient within the Midlands Meander and we thoroughly enjoyed driving the quiet roads as opposed to the busy toll road - one easily forgets the traditional lifestyle that exists just meters from the 'fast lane'. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and we thank them all for their incredible hospitality."

"Absolutely amazing!"

"A very different and special experience on our way to the Drakensberg area. Very, very nice people, they really take care."

"We had a great time, will return to this establishment very soon"

"This place is a definite must-see. The tree houses are amazing and you are made to feel welcome as soon as you draw in the gate. Instantly welcomed with a much needed coffee and given valuable advice about what to see and do while you were there. Evening meal was yummy and we were given a lovely breakfast to take with us as we left so early the next day. The actual tree houses themselves are a work of art. How can one possibly describe something as beautiful as they are. Look forward to returning here again..."

"We had an incredible time! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding anniversary. Our childhood dream has been realised!

Thank you!

Jaco & Martie"

"A wonderful experience in a truly crafted establishment lovingly created and maintained by a real craftsman and wonderful host and hostess."

"Wow! What a fantastic get away from the hustle and bustle of Gauteng. Had an absolute joyous weekend and the perfect place to get engaged. Will definately be back for more. The fireplace and spa bath were our highlights for the weekend."

"We booked to stay in the romantic treehouse, and thats exactly what it was, very romantic. we had a great stay, and we felt really welcome by all the staff.

Thank you"

A big thank you to everyone."

"The treehouse was absolutely fantastic! We felt like the happiest children again!

I was truly inspired and cannot wait to go back again."

"A really magical experience. A dream that becomes true ...Staying in a tree house (and what a tree house!!! you can see the hand of Bruce the artist, everywhere in it). Definitely a must!!!

"I have to say I was really pleasently surprised... nicely nestled out the way - yet close enough to the highway to get anywhere you wanted to. Wide open spaces, perfectly maintained spacious garden, a view second to none - and the friendliest most helpfull bunch I have come across - I am already making plans to head back there. Its definitely something you have to experience for yourself though.

awesome place guys - keep up the good work :)"

"Our stay was shorter than we would like but the tree houses were amazing. we stayed in the Bottle tree house and Jacuzzi was fantastic along with the roaring fire waiting for us on our arrival.

Will definitely be back for a longer stay and to see the new tree house being built at the moment."

"My husband and I found it very difficult to leave Sycamore. It is indeed a lovely place that I definitely recommend to everyone thinking of taking a holiday. Bruce, Gloria and their staff are the greatest. Lizie's (Nqeke's) Zulu food is amazing and definately out of this world. Perhaps Bruce should start thinking about exporting some of his 'work of art' pieces-they are stunning and worth the visit."

OUR LITTLE TREE HOUSE REALLY TOOK US BACK TO OUR CHILDHOOLD AND EVEN THE COLD WEATHER COULDN'T STOP US FROM HAVING THE MOST AMAZING WEEKEND AWAY. THE DETAIL IN ALL THE WOOD WORK WAS AMAZING AND WE WERE TAKING SNAPSHOTS OF EVERYTHING. THE FOOD SERVED WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD ESPECIALLY THE ZULU FEAST WE HAD ON THE SATERDAY EVENING.

WE WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK AND ALSO RECOMMENDING SYCAMORE AVE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY."

"What a pleasant surprise, we stayed in the garden cottage with spa bath. Felt like we on honeymoon, private, spa bath beautifull cottage and garden. Will be back, thanx Gloria and Bruce "

"Sycamore is a 8/10 destination. The food was not that great but that was my only complaint. The Bottle tree house was enchanted and a must for a romantic weekend away!!"

"My stay was extremely pleasant. Hosts incredibly unique, friendly and good company. Food was excellent. Will be back......."

"No photographs could ever capture the astonishing genius, the whimsy and the fantasy-world surprises tucked round every nook and cranny of these delightful Sycamore Avenue tree houses. Our visit there really was an experience of a lifetime! We stayed in both the Romantic and the Fantasy tree houses which were immaculate, and had lots of thoughtful touches and provisions that catered for one's every comfort and convenience. We were even lucky enough to be treated to a most interesting night-sky presentation by Gary with the aid of his telescope. The dinners and the breakfasts were delicious and were served in a beautiful dining room furnished with chairs and tables as fantastically crafted as the tree houses themselves. From the moment we arrived, we were accorded with such warm hospitality and personalized attention from Gary, Martin and their lovely staff that we were made to feel as if we were their only guests.
A stay here is a must on everybody's bucket list!"

"Sycamore Avenue offered us a very good stay. Everything was just amazing. I will highly recommend your establishment and will definitely re-visit you guys in the future."

"We loved our time in the Faraway Tree House. Romantic and restful, with superb catering for breakfast and dinner.

"I was very impressed with this establishment. The people at this place were very plesant and I got on so well with all of the staff here. I will be back to visit again. Great Service."

"The overall vibe at Sycamore Avenue was lovely. We enjoyed out stay. This is a place we would recommend."

"We really enjoyed our stay. From the moment we got there everything was perfect. We have already told friends about Sycamore Avenue."

"We enjoyed this guest house. The stay was very good and we look forward to coming back again."

"Incredible place to stay, great staff, excellent food, unique and awesome accommodation. Truly a place where they go the extra mile without expecting any additional payment, great, amazing, incredible! Would recommend Sycamore to everyone!"

"From the moment we arrived at Sycamore we were embraced by the friendly atmosphere and the hospitality of the hosts. The food was excellent and the accommodation was an adventure on its own. We stayed in the bottle house and found it full of woodwork surprises."

"It was a lovely weekend away. The accommodation was great and homely but with a twist. The food was really great and the owners were awesome and friendly. Will be going back soon and will recommend to all our friends!"

The hosts were superb and the food was divine. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away for the weekend as this place is the most relaxing place I have ever stayed at. I am still blown away by the wood finishes and the creative mind that build this place."

"We stayed for a single night, but what a night!
It was just after the snow weekend and there was still lots of snow around to enjoy.

"We arrived late afternoon and were warmly received by our hosts. We were shown to our magical planequarium tree house! It was like walking into a fairy tale story book. We were surrounded by beautiful craftsmanship. Everything wood, with beautiful details to the finishes. We loved the spiral staircase and the cosy rooms, as well as the outside showers and bath. The grounds are gorgeous - lots of little secret places. Full moon strolls around the garden are stunning as all the little houses light up like ginger bread houses of Hansel & Gretel. The meals are beautifully cooked and presented. My daughter and I loved it so much that we can't wait to stay there again and try out all the other tree houses. Summers must be beautiful. Regards, Daryl Webster."

"We had a marvellous fantasy weekend in the Fantasy treehouse at Sycamore. Nice and private with a scenic view on the Drakensburg while you admire the woodwork created by "The Wood Butcher".

Ideal for a romantic get-away or to celebrate an anniversary (10th) as in our case."

"The food is really excellent. The tree houses are highly imaginative and the children loved the Planequarium. They also loved the dogs! The only negative thing was the noise of the traffic on the nearby N3."

"The Welcome we received was warming and inviting. Friendly assistance is what we received. The dinner we received was scrumptious and very homely. The way the guests were brought together to mingle and meeting new different people was exciting."

"I booked the night at Sycamore Avenue as a surprise for my family. And boy, were we ALL surprised! We slept in the Planequarium - house in the woods, and it felt as though we were the only visitors there.

"I booked the night at Sycamore Avenue as a surprise for my family. And boy, were we ALL surprised! We slept in the Planequarium - house in the woods, and it felt as though we were the only visitors there.

The house is magnificently built and decorated - it felt like spending the night in a work of art. The lovely smell of cedarwood surrounds you everywhere you go. The kids especially enjoyed the tower with the jacuzzi and twin showers and loved all the gadgety door handles, etc. My husband and I loved the twin showers and it was awesome to be able to shower together and feel like you're standing in the middle of the woods.

The hospitality was something out of this world. We decided to have dinner in the main house with all the other guests. It was a lovely, extremely tasty homecooked meal - even the children were catered for. Breakfast was just as cosy and delicious. I highly recommend Sycamore Avenue Guest house!"
