“The perfect quiet escape”

Reviewed May 10, 2013

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet escape offered at Blue Gum. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer to have more than a few days of rest. Initially we were surprised by the change of pace as we left the city but quickly settled into the quiet countryside. Their service was personal and kind. We wished... More

“If you like relaxed and comfortable, this is the place”

Reviewed April 12, 2013

We stayed at Blue Gum over the Easter weekend, looking forward to a relaxing few nights of family time away from it all. What I can say is that Blue Gum is exactly the sort of place we were looking for, and is very nearly the place it hopes to be. Once a few more of the planned developments have... More

“An oasis of calm with comfortable accommodation, great food and service”

Reviewed February 11, 2013 via mobile

Located a few kilometres from Stanford at the end of an unmetalled road, Blue Gum is a wonderful quiet location. We were welcomed on arrival by the local troop of baboons and amazed by the bird life every day. Comfortable rather than luxurious accommodation but very pleasant. Wonderful healthy breakfasts. We also dined in twice - excellent food and attentive... More
