Absolutely brilliant. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly Would definitely recommend this lodge
South AfricaExcellent choice in Bloemfontein. We were tired from a long drive, and found A Little Guest House perfectly suited our needs. Great location near N1, easy and secure access, good parking, excellent security and the cleanest olace we have stayed in Sout Africa. Lots of little nice touches, and all the basics. Neat as a pin, lovely gardens and furnishings. Very good bar / restaurant with good steaks at reasonable prices less than 1 kilometer away on the access road, too...Route 66. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a short or long stay.
United States of AmericaExcellent service of the staff. We arrived in stormy weather. They rushed to our aid with umbrellas. They saw I had a baby and offered a baby bath.A big thank you to Gerty who was so friendly and made sure we were sorted. If we had space Gerty would've been in our bag home. We will definitely stay there again.
South AfricaIf the temperatures are high then the aircon is not strong enough. Other than that the place was lovely. They put lots of extra touches that make you feel at home. The place is quiet but still close enough to the main road to get going easily the next day. There are also lots of places nearby to get food.
South Africaservice was fantastic. people very friendly and for the price I received much more than expected
South AfricaIt was the best resourced overnight facility that we used in a long time. All the little things that a traveler needs, were in place. What a little gem!
South AfricaClean Brilliant communication from owner! Secure Modern All facilities required were available (including milk and rusks etc) Annalie even made a plan so I could connect my laptop to the TV to watch the final round of the British Open. Close to many shops and restaurants Braai option too
South AfricaClean and comfortable room with excellent facilities. Superb breakfast. Safe and secure. Friendly and helpful guest house owner.
South AfricaLoved the communication before hand. Everything i needed to know to get in and out of the property without having to have contact with anyone. Place was tidy and exactly what we needed for a stop over and a goodnights rest!
South AfricaThe location is nice and easy accessible. We loved watching animals (chickens, rabbit, goose, etc..). The place was very clean. host was friendly and nice.

We are close to the N1, have all the Dstv sports channels, KykNet, gas heaters, electric blankets, air-con, filter coffee, safe parking, and contactless check-in and check-out. This popular countryside guest house is self-catering, has safe parking, free WiFi, and a lovely garden with a big lawn for the children to play soccer, cricket, rugby, and a view which adds to its rustic atmosphere to provides a happy marriage between platteland and city. Whether traveling for work, pleasure, or both, professionals and families can enjoy a well-deserved rest when visiting us. A new add-on is our conference facilities, pax 25, and one wheelchair-friendly unit. We are prepared for unforeseen circumstances with a backup bore-hole, a small camping gas stove, a gas heater, an emergency light, and an emergency travel sewing kit in all our units.
I always had a dream to change our family house into a guest house and put my heart and soul into the renovation process. I wish it could be perfect, but currently, we do our best in these challenging times. What a pleasure to meet the wonderful guests daily.
Restaurants, pubs, banks, 4 shopping complexes, various garden & lifestyle centres, a hospital, churches, wellness centres & fuel stations with convenience shops, are minutes away. Glide through Bloemfontein to reach the Bram Fischer Airport in less than half an hour, or Tempe airport in 11 minutes, flat. A Little Guesthouse's proximity to Nelson Mandela drive provides effortless access to the University of the Free State, the Central University of Technology, schools, the CBD, malls, Naval Hill, hospitals, sports stadia, etcetera.
