    Breakfast was made according to what we wanted each morning. Very good. The guesthouse had very convenient access to shopping malls and highways. Our suite was cleaned every day, even public holidays. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times.

Company information

Gerda is a great host and we've always felt like we belong there from the very first time we used her establishment . She's very friendly and helpful and goes out of her way to see to it that you enjoy your stay .

Property information

The owner Gerda who has operated Old Oak Guesthouse for 26 years compares her business to loving and raising a child. She has certainly been a splendid parent and has raised a wonderful child. The house is set in a beautiful garden with roses and lush trees. The rooms are spacious and we'll appointed and furniture, fittings and fixture are understated quality. The breakfast which was included was delicious. I will certainly be returning and would enthusiastically recommend Old Oak Guesthouse to my family and friends.
