Sycamore Avenue Treehouses & Cottages Accommodation

Many years ago I stayed here by myself and this time I booked 1 night for me and my partners birthday but very disappointed . The unique woodcraft was beautiful and the views and really enjoyed the quietness of the surroundings. The butternut soup served with fresh bread was nice and also the fact that the owner introduced himself during dinner. Also liked that there were a fireplace as it made it cozy. They dont have many treehouses on site which makes it unique. Sleeping in a treehouse is a childlike dream to be able to sleep in a treehouse but this experience was terrible. It has been neglected which is a pity because they've got such an unique property. This was a birthday present to my boyfriend and so disappointed that I paid R2900 to get such an awful experience. Maintaining this treehouse hasn't been done. The heater was cracked, crack in the bathroom wall, the deck and chairs were dirty. The geyser were switched off so we had to wait to get hot water and the treehouse was very dirty. Also if you pay R2900 at least have some proper plunger coffee in the rooms. Its the little things and attention to detail that make guests feel at home.Our treehouse was called the romantic getaway. I would give it some ambience for example: - proper maintenance needs to be done. Varnish the deck. - put other furniture and clean furniture on the deck. - maybe fairylights in the tree on the deck for some atmosphere. - stronger hammock on the deck - plunger coffee would be ideal - maybe put nice burgundy/ white towels on the bed with chocolate or a welcome note. This is just my thoughts. We skipped breakfast because dinner was very bland. Soup was nice but chicken was dry and vegetables were very bland. So I definitely would not recommend this place at all. Unique product but has been neglected and that is shocking

Such a stunning stay. they attention to detail in the cottages is amazing. Owner and staff are super friendly and helpful. Food was perfect. Thank you so much

Arrived to find the treehouse freezing cold and thick with dust, basically uninhabitable – and so my wife spent the night sleeping in the car. The next day we had to find alternative accommodation and the owner still held us to 75% of the contract price for what was meant to be a 3-night stay (what about the owner’s obligation to make the place habitable - it’s not cheap at R2500 per night). So we paid R6000 for the luxury of spending a night in our car at Sycamore Avenue Treehouse!! The owner tried to excuse the freezing temperature by claiming that had we arrived earlier (we did arrive very late) we could have lit the fireplace…well if that does heat up the place the owner could have lit it up prior to our arrival. Wouldn’t advise anyone to stay at Sycamore Avenue Treehouse.
