Gerieflik, netjies en vriendelik.

Dit was maklik om in en uit te klok. Shaun was vriendlik en het tot 'n kombers op ons voorruit geplaas sodat ons vroeg die volgende oggend, by ons vertrek, nie ys op die voorruit gehad het nie!

Comfortable, neat and friendly.

It was easy to check in and out. Shaun was kind enough to put a blanket on our windshield so we didn't have ice on the windshield when we left early the next morning!

Uitstekend, alles wat 'n mens nodig het is daar. Die hondjies was ook gelukkig om bene te kon rek.

Dis maklik om by uit te kom, netjiese plek waar 'n mens lekker kan ontspan na 'n lang, spanningvolle reis halfpad tussen die Kaap en Oos Kaap.

Excellent, everything one needs is there. The puppies were also happy to be able to stretch their legs.

It's easy to get to, neat place where you can relax after a long, stressful journey halfway between the Cape and Eastern Cape.

Dit was baie netjies en skoon, maar bitter klein. Net vir 'n overnight, nie langer bly nie. Nie meer as 1 nag nie.

Ek sal dit net aanbeveel vir iemand wat 1 aand wil oorslaap en nie vir 2 mense nie - dit is bitter klein. As jy sou langer bly sal dit 'n probleem wees, want daar is geen hangkaste of net 'n plekkie om van jou klere op te hang nie en as jy 2 mense is is daar nie plek om jou tasse êrens neer te sit nie - dit is baie, baie klein. Ons wou ook die een aand braai - maar daar is geen geriewe nie.

It was very neat and clean, but very small. Just for an overnight, no longer staying. No more than 1 night.

I would only recommend it for someone who wants to spend 1 night and not for 2 people - it is very small. If you were to stay longer it would be a problem because there are no wardrobes or just a place to hang your clothes and if you are 2 people there is no place to put your bags anywhere - this is very, very small. We also wanted to have a barbecue one night - but there are no facilities.

Small, but clean.

Clean room as advertised. The room is pretty small - really great for one person or couple needing a place just for a night. They had their power switched off at 10:00, yes check-out is at 10:00, but really now. So you will have to make sure that you are an early bird if booking with them.

Gathering Guest House was perfect for an over night stop over. The unit was equipped with everything you need. Best thing about this unit was the private garden that our fur babies absolutely enjoyed after the long drive. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling with pets.

Omdat ons nie vir Bloemfontien ken nie en moes gaan na Rosepark hospital het ons verblyf gesoek naby en via die webtuiste op die edelsteen afgekom. Vriendelike diens was die pluspunt. Sal verseker weer daar gaan tuis.

Veilig en rustige rusplek.

Ons het heerlik gebraai en daar was l'n ekker privaat grasperkie vir ons woefie. Die plek was rustig en ons het heerlik uitgerus. Koffie, tee en melk was voorsien. Ons kon ons swaar gelaaide treiler veilig parkeer onder die afdak.

Fantasties en gemaklik.

Ons reis meeste van die tyd met ons hondekinders. In Bloemfontein is troeteldiervriendelike-akkommodasie moeilik te vind en as jy kry, is dit nie na wense nie. Die plekkie is veilig, eie omheinde tuintjie, als wat mens nodig het, skoon, netjies. Gasvryheid van die eienaars absoluut fantasties. Shaun het ons geskakel en gesê ons kan vroeër inboek ook, wat ek versoek het. Ek beveel hulle aan vir enige tipe reisiger.

Shaun called us and said we could check in earlier as well, which I requested. I recommend them to any type of traveler. I will definitely use them every time I have to spend the night in Bloemfontein.
