We recently celebrated our 6th anniversary with a weekend getaway at Blue Gum Country Estate, and it exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived, the serene setting and warm welcome made us feel right at home. The estate's location is simply breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery and mountain views—a perfect escape from the city. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and grateful for such a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with excellent hospitality, Blue Gum Country Estate is a gem. We can't wait to return!

Having your morning coffee while watching springboks grazing between the barren winter vines was absolutely amazing. Blue Gum Country Estate was the perfect place to unwind and relax, we especially loved our morning visit from Skye the friendly collie. We hope to visit again soon.

My family and i had an amazing stay, the food was good the service better , only to be surpassed by the scenery and stunning sun sets/rises. This place caters for and allows for complete relaxation, as we could sit on our enclosed balcony and listen to various bird species ( and we could even see some springboks grazing in the field). The location also lends itself as platform to visit nearby towns that will take you from a river cruise to shark cage diving.

General comment:- The venue suited our requirements with 7 pax having a 52 year, social reunion. Breakfast was standard fare and adequate. Access and exiting Blue Gum CE was very difficult at this time following recent severe flooding. Some maintenance upkeep required on some doors and window handles and latches. All pax including guests from overseas were very comfortable and satisfied with the accommodation provided. Regards. Class Safmarine Durban Cadet Engineers Class of ‘71

I had the pleasure of staying at Blue Gum for a week with a group. It was amazing. Rooms were lovely, very spacious an impeccably decorated, the food was simply gorgeous, every single meal, the surroundings stunning and the staff wonderfully accommodating and helpful. A huge thank you to Anton, Sybille and everyone at Blue Gum for a wonderful experience

Comfortable room, excellent breakfast and pleasant walks around the Estate and the hills behind. Also, close to the other attractions in the Stanford area. Dirt road was a bit muddy with the recent rain, but easily passable in a salon car.

Blue Gum Country Estate is by far the best family (including dog) accommodation and experience we have had in the Sandford area. It's nestled in nature, peace and tranquility with every amenity you could wish for. The staff are friendly and helpful. A play ground, and pool for summer, tennis courts, little library for story reading and more. The restaurant provides delicious food, some of which we were even able to enjoy delivered ready made to our cottage! There are beautiful fynbos walks and starry skies. The estate is geared for family, so while you have every comfort, the lodgings and furnishings are robust, ready for kids and dogs etc, which is amazing because you can relax and enjoy and not feel you need to apologize because your little ones used every towel in the house making a bed for their fluffy toys! If you are uncomfortable with a farm stay (brown water from the taps) or getting your car, kids and dog muddy and being patient with some of the insignificant quirks of what comes with that - then this is not for you.

If you are looking for a beautiful scenery, friendly staff and just overall tranquil time this is the place to go. Interior of the cottage has a homey luxury feel. Perfect for families as well as for couples who just want a romantic getaway. I will definitely be back again.
