Gamka Olives Farm Accommodation

Gamka Olives Farm Accommodation is conveniently situated in the small village of Leeu Gamka which straddles the railway line and the N1 between Laingsburg and Beaufort West.

"Peacefull Accommodation"

28 August 2018

"We really enjoyed the rusticness and spaciousness of the cottage. It was cold was when we arrived but our hostess made sure that the heater in the bedroom was switched on to ensure that we had a great nights rest. Everything was to our liking."
"Great stop over when travelling with pets"

"The cottage is very clean and fenced in, which is perfect for letting pets loose. Passing vehicles on the N1 make a little bit of noise, but it is still easy to get a good nights rest."

"We appreciated a one night stay in a surprisingly beautifully decorated cottage. Although the trucks provided a constant distant noise, we had a good night's sleep. Thank you for the milk and rusks with coffee. Tertius and Christa"

"a great stopover"

28 December 2016

"Ideal if travelling with a dog. The lovely big garden is fully fenced so doggo can safely stretch her legs after a long drive.<br/><br/>Accommodation is roomy, very clean and thoughtfully arranged. Its got everything you need, although a toaster would be good.<br/><br/>Altogether a relaxing place to take a break from the N1"
"Ideal stopover location"

13 December 2016

"I stayed in the place briefly for a night, as a stopover from Johannesburg to Cape Town. It had everything I needed, it was spacious and it was very clean and tidy. It was also very quiet and peaceful. The town (Leeu-Gamka) seems to be quite small and empty, but I did not explore it at all."
"Overnight with 4 big dogs"

"<p>Lovely overnight stay on our way from Jhb to Hermanus, with our 4 large dogs. The unit was exactly what we needed after 1000km of travelling and it was securely fenced off with a large garden for our dogs to run and stretch their legs.</p><p>The owners friendly and very accommodating and we'll definitely book here again for our next overnight stop :)</p>"

"Ek persoonlik was nogal teleurgesteld met die plekkie!<br />Dit was skoon,maar so onpersoonlik! Al die gordyne was styf toe en die ontvangs was glad nie baie vriendelik nie! Kan nie verstaan nie, daar is 'n skottel, maar geen DSTV nie! Sou baie gehelp het as net Kyknet gekoppel kan word!"

The honesty tray had olive oil and different types of olive jars. The owners are very friendly and made us feel so welcome. Thanks a lot! It was great!!!"

"'n Lekker ervaring en ons gasvrou was reg om ons bietjie in te lig oor olywe- dankie Alida. Ons het ook van die plaasproduk aangeskaf teen baie goeie pryse. Trokke pla nie baie in die nag nie. Mens moet net seker maak dat jy voorberei is vir die maaltye. Daar is nie 'n keuse van eetplekke nie en die Ultra City se kombuis maak vroeg toe!!"
