Excellent all round & fantastic location
Our host Jerry could not be more charming or helpful. He’s a font of knowledge and nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in places that look more plush, but this was by far superior in every way. Powerful shower, quiet air con and ceiling fan, and the best breakfast.

This property was well maintained and had secure parking. We appreciated that it was only a block to the Main Street and close to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

A great stopover, very friendly and convenient too
Phil and Linda made us very welcome and made our stay really enjoyable. We have stayed at the Gumtree previously and will no doubt return. The garden is lovely and there is a pool for cooling off after a long drive. Phil cooks a very good breakfast and Linda's fruit salad is lovely. We would recommend.
