I had to leave

Its a beautiful cottage home away from home. It's peaceful, clean and got that vibe I don't want to leave.

That we only stayed 1 night

That combination of modern with antique "plaas" decor was special. Our baby was happy feeding the horses from the edge of the yard and swinging away in the garden The view= calm and spectacular Noise = no noise but cows. Which was great. Bed= massive and comfortable Everything you need We wished that it was for more than 1 night. This will be our Bloem place!

An amazing setting and well thought trough spacious cabin. An overall lovely experience. Helpful staff and excellent communication. I would happily recommend Olyf guesthouse as the place to stay visiting Bloemfontein.

We had an amazing stay at this luxury cottage! The kitchen is well equipped with high-quality appliances. The spacious open-plan layout created a comfortable and inviting atmosphere throughout the cottage. The view from the patio was stunning, offering a perfect spot to relax. I also appreciated the thoughtful touch of the snacks provided. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Well, this is not property related - It was cold so it forced one to stay indoors yet we wanted to explore places but we could not go because Bloemfontein was really cold. But we are sure to come back when it is hot so we can explore more

The place is what one need for an easy getaway from the busy life. It is secluded and provided the needed relaxation from the hustle and bustle.

Be aware that one of the beds in the 2-bed unit is in the main living area, which limits privacy somewhat

Beautifully appointed with high-quality finishing and appliances. Tasteful decor and friendly staff

This is a really stunning place. Quiet, beautiful, so very well looked after and presented. Felt like a VIP staying here. The furniture, decor, fittings, extra's are all first class. A real haven with a view and horses nearby, loved the wood burning hot tub, the luxurious bedding. Flowers and wine as extra's for my daughter's birthday. Loved our stay. So much space to enjoy, a large garden, swings, firepit. Beautiful bathroom!

It is beautifully decorated and in such a peaceful location but close enough to the centre of town.

The nicest Guesthouse i have ever stayed in. What a hidden gem!! The hot tub was already warm when we came after a long drive in the dark. Bathrobes and towels of good quality were next to the hot tub, a bottle of wine. What can you wish for more??!! An absolute stunning stay!!

Beautifully decorated, clean with a that extra special touch. The amenities are luxurious, the setting so peaceful and the wood fired hot tub an absolute winner! We loved our stay! It’s not often that you find accommodation so beautifully appointed as Olyf.

Would have loved another TV in the bedroom.

Francelle was an exceptional host who exuded kindness, thoughtfulness and attention to detail, Very quick to respond to any queries we had. The heated floors where an added bonus to the warm the fireplace within the amazing cottage. The quality of the home was sublime. The staff where quite kind. Loved the private that came with the cottage with occasional visitors from the horse and pony in the mornings. Well equipped for loadshedding and prolonged stays. The crème de La crème was the bathtub either fountain views and sounds to help one relax while you bathed.
