Absolute.

Ons was aanvanklik redelik skepties toe ons die bespreking gemaak het. Ons was egter aangenaam verras deur die 4-gang maaltyd - Kos is onverbeterlik! Verblyf was skoon en veilig. Sal nou elke keer hier oornag.

An exceptional five-star experience.

From a warm welcome, through a 3-course culinary masterpiece of a dinner, to a lavish breakfast the next morning, nothing could be faulted. This exceptional guesthouse on a working Free State farm is well worth the drive from the N1 on a gravel road. The rooms are individually decorated in a quirky but most comfortable, even luxurious, style. We can strongly recommend this as a destination for a special event or just a stop-over.

Worth a once-off stay. Staff very friendly.

Appears to be one of the best accommodation facilities available in Bloemfontein. Quiet and not too far off the freeway. Staff makes this stay memorable. The interesting history of this family farm seems to be its drawcard.

Werklik 5-ster-ervaring naby Bloemfontein.

De Oude Kraal Country Estate & Spa bied goeie akkommodasie saam met 'n 5-ster-restaurant aan op 'n plaas naby Bloemfontein. Goeie diens, vriendelike personeel en ons hond was ook baie welkom. Die aandete is 'n belewenis en die kamers het als wat nodig is om te oornag.

Goeie oornag, lekker ontbyt.

Ons het oorgeslaap op pad Kaap toe. Ons het in een van die self-catering cottages gebly. Die uitleg is bietjie beknop vir 'n gesin. Daar was 'n paar goedjies wat stukkend was soos die handdoekreling. Die ontbyt by die hoofhuis was baie lekker, die gronde mooi en lekker om rond te loop en diere te sien. Mense hulpvaardig.

Good night, nice breakfast.

We slept over on the way to Cape Town. We stayed in one of the self-catering cottages. The layout is a bit cramped for a family. There were a few things that were broken like the towel rail. The breakfast at the main house was very nice, the grounds beautiful and nice to walk around and see animals. People helpful.

Natuur.

Lekker gebly en veral die aandete geniet. Een fout, die kamer waarin ons was, het 'n baie moderne stort, maar as daar so 'n goeie stort ingebou is, moet die drukking van die water ook sterk genoeg wees, dalk kan die eienaars hieraan aandag gee.

Nature.

Had a nice stay and especially enjoyed the dinner. One fault, the room we were in has a very modern shower, but if such a good shower is built in, the pressure of the water must also be strong enough, maybe the owners can pay attention to this.

Aangenaam, lekker en gasvry!

Uitsonderlike gasvryheid vanaf die intrapslag en lekker aangename plaasatmosfeer. Behalwe dat die eienaar en sy vrou persoonlik betrokke is en jou laat tuis voel, is die personeel eweneens baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het die middagtee met verskeie tuisgebakte koeke terdeë geniet...om nie eens te praat van die uitsonderlike 5-gang maaltyd wat die aand in styl voorgesit is nie...of dit nie genoeg was nie, het die ontbyt uitgestaan! Baie dankie aan die Lombaards vir al julle betrokkenheid...ons sal weer kom kuier en julle gastehuis wyd bekendstel.

Pleasant, nice and hospitable!

Exceptional hospitality from the moment you step in and a pleasant farm atmosphere. Besides the fact that the owner and his wife are personally involved and make you feel at home, the staff are also very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea with several home baked cakes...not to mention the exceptional 5 course meal served in style that evening...if that wasn't enough, the breakfast stood out! Many thanks to the Lombards for all your involvement...we will visit again and introduce your guest house widely.

We had a fantastic stay at De Oude Kraal Country Estate. Staff very friendly, rooms clean and spacious. Pet friendly, beautiful gardens. Our room looked onto eland and sable drinking at a waterhole. The highlight of our stay was our 7 course dinner. Fine dining.

Buitengewoon goed. Veel beter as enige kommersiële hotelle in Bloemfontein en stil omgewing met uitstaande aandetes.

Dit is nou die derde keer dat ons tydens ons gereelde lang reise hier oornag het, maar die eerste keer dat ons in 'n opgeradeerde eenheid geslaap het, wat ongelukkig (teleurstellend) nie vergelykbaar is met die standaard nuwer eenhede nie. Vir die reisigers wat nog die reis die volgende oggend moet voortsit na Gauteng, begin ontbyt ongelukkig 'n bietjie laat, maar is andersins van ewe hoë standaard.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Exceptionally good. Much better than any commercial hotels in Bloemfontein and quiet surroundings with outstanding dinners.

This is now the third time we've stayed here on our regular long trips, but the first time we've slept in an upgraded unit, which unfortunately (disappointingly) doesn't compare to the standard newer units. For the travelers who still have to continue the journey the next morning to Gauteng, unfortunately breakfast starts a little late, but is otherwise of an equally high standard.
