"A huge thank you to Lizette for her kindness, warm hospitality and pristine accommodation in a beautiful setting.
We had an amazing girls weekend getaway at Blue Gum Cottage. Hiked the Wild Flower trail the Saturday and Lizette went out of her way and made sure we have a guide from the local municipality for our safety. We were left in complete peace to enjoy the breathtaking view, just the occasional visit from Lexi the dog but she was so super chilled and we loved having her around lounging with us.
We will definitely be back to this Gem again soon. xoxo"

"Hi all,

I can say with absolute conviction that this was an amazing place to be at for the weekend.

A special touch for me was the bottle that was left as my birthday gift.

Lizette was the perfect hostess and never to busy to assist when help was needed.

I will gladly recommend the cottage for a weekend breakaway on the farm."

"Many thanks to Lizette for ensuring our visit to her Blue Gum Cottage was so very memorable. At all times she went out of her way and made us so very welcome.
A lovely peaceful farm paradise. Stay longer on our next trip."

"Very friendly and accommodating hostess. Cottage was very clean. Complimentary wood and milk was very welcoming. Recommended. "

"Our host Lizette was unbelievably helpful and kind, the cottage had everything you need and the view and outside area are really awesome. Will definitely be back. "

"Lizette is the perfect hostess. Friendly. Heplful. The cottage is immaculate. The views are stunning. Will definitely be going back....."

"Looking at the photos and previous reviews we knew we wouldn't be disappointed, and we certainly weren't! It was beautiful out there, the views are spectacular from the stoep, the house was really clean, it had everything we needed for our stay - altogether a great experience!"

"Wonderful place with an incredible view. We had everything we needed and all enjoyed our stay. "

"From our warm welcome from Lizette on Thursday evening, to our reluctant departure on Sunday morning, our stay at Blue Gum Farm Cottage was just wonderful. The cottage is perfectly equipped, comfortable, cosy and beautifully situated with a view of the fields and distant mountains. There is a fireplace indoors and a braai with grid (and light!) outside. Even though it was cold we couldn't resist sitting outside for hours at the table, enjoying the view and the fresh air and playing ball games on the lawn. We also took several day trips to nearby towns, including Arniston, Napier, Greyton and the enchanting Genadendal. Coming back to 'our' cottage every afternoon was always a pleasure. Our three-year-old loved the games, toys and sweets that were so thoughtfully provided, and the adults enjoyed special sweet treats on our pillows too! This cottage is among the loveliest we have stayed in, and we have done a fair number of self-catering holidays around South Africa. Thank you, Lizette, for a very special farm stay!"

"What an awesome place to spend a weekend.... I will definitely recommend it to others. Friendly hosts, and the little touches made all the difference. Thank you!"

"if you want a supremely clean, modern, but quietcountryside get away, this is what you need. We enjoyed the absolute quite no-traffic anywhere overnight stay.

"if you want a supremely clean, modern, but quietcountryside get away, this is what you need. We enjoyed the absolute quite no-traffic anywhere overnight stay. The owner's friendly instructions and good communication made it easy to locate. I we could, we would have stayed longer. (No TV. forces one to talk and spend time together, instead of looking at a screen all the time - bad habit)"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Blue Gum cottage. Such beautiful scenery and the cottage had everything we needed. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you to Lizette for being so accommodating. "

"We really had a great time at the cottage. A place we will definitely go back to. We like the view and the nice quietness - made it very relaxing to us. We would like to thank Lizette for the clean environment in the cottage itself."

"It was a beautiful tranquil cottage, with attention to detail and the little things that make a big difference. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to relax and get away from the city life."

"What a gorgeous tranquil place to stay. We will definitely stay there again. I have given 4 stars as if I had been staying longer I would have liked an oven but maybe next time we will just bring the weber. Thank you Lizette for supplying such great accommodation."

"We had a very nice time at Blue Gum Cottage. It is a very neat little cottage with the most amazing views! Thank you Lizette for a wonderfull stay."

"It was fantastic and so peaceful. The staff were very attentive."

"We were very impressed with the attention to detail in the cottage. It is very clean and well stocked. Great kitchen, bathroom (incl bath) lounge furniture, stoep couch and braai."

"Lizette was the perfect host on the farm. Leaving us to enjoy our little cottage in privacy while always being on hand if we needed anything. Blue Gum is a place to unwind and my two sons loved the chance to run a bit wild on a real sheep farm."

"The most relaxing, quite and wonderful weekend in a long time. Everything was 100% on our arrival and there is nothing more that you need. Everything is perfect!

Will definitely go back and tell my family and friends about Blue Gum Farm Cottage."

"This cottage is surrounded by beautiful valleys of fields of colour. It is so tranquil here at Blue Gum that it was a pity we didn't stay longer.

Lizette has put so much love and care into this cottage; it has everything you need and the bed is extremely comfortable. Very clean, spacious and well-decorated, it felt luxurious! Definitely a place to unwind and catch up with your partner or friends. I can't wait to return."

"It was great being on the farm at wheat harvesting and sheep shearing time. As photographers we enjoyed the many photographic opportunities. Lizette was a wonderful hostess and made us very welcome. We will definitely go back there when we are in the area."

"Excellent peaceful stay here and the place had everything we needed. Lizette was so welcoming and the little touches made the stay extra special. Will definitely visit again and recommend the place to friends and family"

"We were very warmly greeted by Lizette when we arrived and felt at home. The place was more than amazing. Very well kept and very neat. The kids were so excited to find sweeties on their beds and ate them before Lizette even said bye. The view was totally breath-taking and we sat on the patio enjoying that with a glass of wine. Lizette went out of her way to accommodate a little request of ours and we are ever thankful. We had our 3 month puppy with us as well and he had such a great time exploring as well. Definitely a place we will go back to and hopefully for longer than just a weekend. It's the perfect breakaway from the hustle and bustle of life."

"I had a great time at Blue Gum Farm Cottage. I'd certainly recommend this place to people."

"A true gem if you are looking for peace, privacy and contentment. It is truly a place to restore the soul and get in touch with nature. It has beautiful interior and a warm welcome from the hosts."

"Blue Gum Farm Cottage is the place to go. For peace and tranquility nothing comes close. The view you get from your stoep you cannot describe to anyone. You can try but to describe such beauty is almost impossible.

The Cottage itself is so comfortable you can call it home away from home. All your needs are catered for to the maximum. You feel totally relaxed and refreshed when you leave. I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

Regards and thankyou."

"We enjoyed a very pleasant stay on the farm. The cottage is fully equipped and clean. The indoor braai was a bonus on an unexpected cool and rainy evening. I will definitely keep this farm cottage on my list of accommodation in the Overberg."

"On our arrival at Blue Gum Cottage, we were given an exceptionally warm welcome by the owner, Lizette Kok. She led us to the cottage and unlocked the front door for us. Everything inside was tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. There were canisters filled with tea, coffee and sugar as well as a jug of fresh milk in the refrigerator. Fluffy towels were folded on each of the beds with sprigs of fresh lavender. The magazine stand was filled with interesting publications as well as brochures of all the places of interest in the surrounding areas. Lizette had really gone out of her way to ensure that we were made very comfortable in this beautiful and peaceful cottage. We will certainly return one day as well as passing our recommendations on to our family and friends."
