Reviews

• "Comfort"

  11 October 2020

  "Loved everything. Only concern is slippery shower floor."

• "The welcoming staff"

  01 January 2020

  "The room I stayed in needs renovation. I would have liked a bench to put my luggage on. I would have preferred fresh milk and not Cremora. However your staff are outstanding."

• "Warn welcoming receptionist"

  04 April 2018

  "The room was nice and spacious, but please the rooms need more air circulation, they have a very stuffy smell or damp smell."

• "Disappointed"

  01 May 2017

  "We arrived well after check in and upon opening our room, everything was a mess. The bed wasn't made up, used towels on the floor and empty food packets- this was we were welcomed to after confirmation that our room was 'ready'. First impressions count, worse when allocating rooms to people who arrived 2 hours after check-in. This needs to be attended to. The pool was dirty and there was absolutely no network reception in our room unless you stepped outside. I'm not even talking about the wifi limited only to the dining area. Other guests on motorbikes could have been more considerate and accomodating to the fact that there were other people using the same place of leisure regarding the noise levels they made with their motor vehicles, yet management didn't intervene."

• "Wonderful Experience"

  29 November 2016

  "I don't know what I expected, but we got more than we could have hoped for. Our stay was wonderful. Peter and the staff were friendly, attentive, caring and helpful at all times. The facilities are great, and the surroundings are beautiful!<br/><br/>I wish I could go and hang out at Gumtree Lodge every week-end!!<br/><br/>Phillip & Glenda Wood"

• "Second visit to Gumtree Lodge"

  31 May 2016

  "This was our second visit to Gumtree Lodge, unfortunately it did not live up to its 4-star rating this time. The room we were in was extremely noisy, breakfast took quite a time after ordering and once it arrived, one persons' food arrived at a time and it was cold too. The TV in our room had very poor signal and limited channels, on one of the days there weren't any cups in the room to make coffee.<div>We will unfortunately not make use of this accommodation again.</div>"

• "Average"

  17 March 2014

  "Neat. Average. Was disappointed with the breakfast, limited with the selection. No toilet roll in the room when we arrived. Staff were always friendly. Bed was comfortable and bathrooms were clean."

• "Absolutely disgusting!!"

  06 March 2014

  "We booked at the Lodge thinking that it will be a 4* Lodge as advertised and as the plaque in the entrance shows. As far as we are concerned, this is not even a 1* Lodge. It was absolutely disgusting, flithy and full of spiders and spiders' nests! The bedding was washed but had terrible stains on them and were threadbare. The bath mat was in tatters, the blinds were broken and FILTHY, there was only 1 curtain in the one room and therefore no privacy. The shower was FILTHY as was the inside of the main building. There were hairs on the floor and the tiles were filthy. The area around the house was littered with bottles and papers and used soap bars. Needless to say, we checked out immediately. The owner was quite taken aback until we showed him the photo's. As the lodge has a no refund policy, he reluctantly refunded 50% of the total. I am reporting this to the Tourism Board and am sending them the photo's. If you are interested, I can mail the photo's to you as well. I think it is in everyone's interest that this property be removed from your website as soon as possible. Linda du Preez"

• "Fantastic stay"

  16 January 2014

  "We had a great stay during December 2013. The lodge is comfortable, luxurious and peaceful. Also, it is well situated near Gateway, Umhlanga as well as Durban. However, linen had stains on them and this should be looked into. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Thanks."

• "Gumtree Lodge March 2012"

  21 March 2012

  "My two sisters (from Germany) and I enjoyed our stay at Gumtree Lodge very much. Management and staff were very helpful and friendly, and always ready to assist. The Lodge is in a beautiful area and quite peaceful. The pool was refreshingly cool and very clean. Breakfast was complimented by fresh fruit. The braai in the garden on Thursday night was also very enjoyable. I will definitely recommend Gumtree Lodge to my family and friends."
