Well located in town, but not in the hustle and bustle, so close enough to be super convenient and have good views, but not in the middle of it all. Staff was exceptional, helpful, professional and friendly. Some stand out staff names Brenden (check in), Steve and Wandile(wait staff). Hotel is small, well maintained and beautiful. I would recommend staying in the larger rooms - Mona Lisa room is excellent with its own terrace.

The location of the hotel was just breathtaking. I didn't know such beauty existed in Bloemfontein. The butler was lovely, charming and so helpful. I loved the extra touch of heated towel rails. The breakfast being 3 courses exceeded my wildest expectations.

Our family holiday was absolutely wonderful, especially for the kids! Everything was conveniently located and within easy reach, making it so stress-free for us as parents. The kids had plenty of activities to keep them entertained, and all the facilities were close by. The layout of the place was incredibly well thought out, with everything placed just where you needed it. It truly made our family getaway seamless and enjoyable for everyone!

The location is very close to nearby grocery stores and restaurants, which made it really easy to get all the necessary essentials. The yard itself is wonderful to have a walk around and has a very beautiful tree. Frankie, the resident dog, is super friendly and very entertaining. The room was excellent and I truly enjoyed relaxing there for hours.

its a nice quiet town. but the restaurant's staff need some vitality. too much attitude from waitresses who were just tooooo casual and even seem disinterested in attending to customers, PARTICULARLY WORKERS AT THE COURTYARD BAKERY. They need to polish their staff a bit

I enjoyed the eateries and shops I went into.

I enjoyed the eateries and shops I went into. I would have changed my plans had I known in advance that Parys pretty much shuts down by 3 on a Sunday, until Tuesday. I found the town to be quite clean. It would have been good to have been able to access a comprehensive list of shops and food offerings (and closing times) in advance (my internet searches didn't provide that info). It is easy to navigate the town. Of course, the potholed road into the town is awful, but sadly, we're so accustomed to them in SA, that it's not surprising - albeit they are so very dangerous. I cancelled a previous trip due to the risk of driving such roads in heavy rains (or actually any rain!)

The view of the dam from the property was amazing. The room/apartment had more than what we expected. The shower was nice and strong and the heater in the room made the room nice and toasty. It was great to have DSTV at our disposal. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Harrismith is an outstanding base for exploring this...

Harrismith is an outstanding base for exploring this beautiful corner of South Africa. Rather than constantly packing and unpacking as you move from place to place, you can settle in comfortably and enjoy a series of wonderful day trips to some of the Free State’s most spectacular destinations. The town sits in a perfect location, with easy access to the magnificent Drakensberg mountains, charming Free State towns, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park. One day you can be driving through Golden Gate’s dramatic sandstone cliffs and open grasslands, and the next you can be exploring the quiet rural towns that give the Free State its unique character and charm. What I particularly appreciated was being able to return each evening to the same comfortable accommodation rather than living out of a suitcase. After a day spent enjoying mountain scenery, scenic drives, hiking trails, or discovering local cafés and shops, it was a pleasure to come back, relax, and plan the next day’s adventure. The roads in the area are generally excellent, the scenery is stunning in every direction, and there is a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity that is becoming increasingly rare. Whether your interests are nature, photography, history, road-tripping, or simply experiencing small-town South African life, Harrismith provides an ideal and convenient base from which to explore. For travellers who enjoy slow travel and prefer to experience a region properly rather than rush through it, Harrismith is difficult to beat.

Fouriesburg is a fairly nice and somewhat typical "platteland" town, due to there being a lots of potholes in the streets and many of the streetlights do not work. A few nice places to eat and the town itself is not as commercialised as nearby Clarens.
