Detailed Reviews
From the moment I stepped into the entrance hall of the Old Oak Guest House I received a hearty warm welcome - it was as if I walked into a family member's house!
Gerda went the extra mile to make me feel at home.
Packed lunches for late night meetings, tasty breakfasts served extra early to make sure I am in time for work.
There is so much more I could mention! Best guest house experience ever!
Gerda - thank you!

A fantastic little guest house north of Cape Town, 'Old Oak' is perfect for short stays to the region. The property is exceptionally well maintained and managed with staff keen to please whilst remaining unobtrusive. I would certainly look to stay here again were I in the region. Thank you for a great stay.

Employee was sent to Cape Town for training, received nothing by very friendly service. From the booking to follow up confirmations, nothing was too much of a trouble. Highly recommended and will definitely be making use for any future requirements.

We always stay with Gerda since we first found the Old Oak Guest House, usually twice a year. The place is very clean and well run, excellent facilities but relaxed ‘at home’ atmosphere. We always feel welcome and well looked after. Highly recommended.

Lovely place. We have been to many places before but not so many with the sort of personal touch that Greda gives. We never felt like guests but more like family. Will definitely miss the breakfast that the owner puts so much thought and effort into.

Gerda is a great host... she makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive at the Old Oak. The house is spotlessly clean and the breakfast is excellent. A great idea are the drinks and snacks available at anytime, with an "honesty" book to record "consumption!!"
Gerda went out of her way to make us welcome... many special touches are the welcome chocolate bar, the Valentine's gifts at breakfast and a special request being from the UK being met with such a delightful response from Gerda. I cannot recommend this guest house highly enough.

The Old Oak is a very nice and convenient place to stay in Cape Town. Food was very good and the comfortable and cosy rooms are done every day to perfection. I stayed at the Old Oak already 4 years ago but would be more than happy to return again. Gerda makes you feel very welcome.
