Blue Gum Country Estate is hidden in the valley that ascends towards the small town of Stanford, just outside Hermanus. The estate is a working wine farm and developing vineyard. This magnificent 130 acre piece of paradise is perfect for those seeking an alternative route and destination to the garden route or a relaxing break from the city. The delightful estate, nestled among ancient Blue Gum trees, overlooks the leafy banks of the Klein Rivier and encourages guests to relax in tranquil beauty and endless luxury.

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

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.

Beautiful,comfortable rooms and lovely mountain surroundings. (whereas I think guesthouses on the other side of the Stanford road may have less of a mountain view). Bonus: tenniscourt! Can borrow racquets and balls from reception. Dinner and breakfast very tasty. Breakfast : cold buffet and hot menu to choose from. (Note drinks with dinner not included). We had one of the rooms on the corner (of five very large double rooms that is in one building. ie not seperate cottages), so we had an extra interleading child room. Friendly staff. Big jungle gym play area and big lawns. Would return if we had the opportunity. There is also a large house seperate from the guest rooms that looks nice for a group of friends/family

Such a relaxed stay and fantastic staff to put you at ease! The dogs loved all the new farm smells and we enjoyed our meals at the restuarant and look so forward to our next stay coming up in a months time!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the staff was amazing, the place was SO homely, the brekki was out of this world. I would like to have let them know that they should look into hot tubs, it would push this place to a whole other level. I love this place so much. I am not too fond of the brown water though, maybe there is a way to clean it somehow.

We had a very nice stay at Blue Gum. The only negative was that we didn’t stay longer. The room was fabulous. There were very comfortable loungers outside. Our daughter loved the big play area outside. Even though it’s self-catering with a build-in braai outside we had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the restaurant. There was also a pool - obvs too cold as it’s winter but we’ll be back in summer for a swim! Our car battery died whilst there and someone from Blue Gum came to sort it immediately - so kind!
