Sekerlik van die beste troeteldiervriendelike verblyf in Bloemfontein.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die plekkie is besonder netjies en baie goed toegerus. Ons sal beslis weer daar oornag op pad see toe!

Certainly some of the best pet-friendly accommodation in Bloemfontein.

Perfect stay, easy to access from the N1.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived - the unit was much nicer than expected. It is tastefully decorated and feels fresh. Bed linen was of excellent quality. We had everything we needed. The 2-plate gas hob was a bonus because we make coffee with our own mocha pot. Highly recommended.

The place was very clean, tastefully decorated and we felt safe. Will be back!

We were pleasantly surprised. I didn't have to wash the dishes first before I used them, something I have to do often at most places. The place was very clean, tastefully decorated and we felt safe. The host supplied us with a list of suitable restaurants and the load shedding times without having to ask for it. There is a gas stove and geyser with some lights, so load shedding was not a problem. Will stay there again anytime.

My eie vakansieplekkie.

The Hobbit Hole was alles wat ek in 'n vakansie nodig gehad het. Ek was die hele dag op die pad en was vuurwarm en moeg. Die kamer is so bitter mooi en netjies. Ek is mal oor die fyn detail en afronding. Dit was beslis nie 'n vakansietrip nie, maar dit het vir my soos 'n onverwagte vakansie gevoel. Ek het niks nodig gehad nie en het heerlik gerus.

My own vacation spot.

The Hobbit Hole was everything I needed in a holiday. I had been on the road all day and was hot and tired. The room is so very beautiful and neat. I love the fine detail and finish. It certainly wasn't a vacation trip, but it felt like an unexpected vacation to me. I didn't need anything and rested wonderfully.

A private, cosy little place.

I have stayed in quite a few guesthouses and this little place is one of the better ones too, very clean, cosy and pretty. The towels are super soft, bedding is crisp and clean with nice big pillows fit for a queen-size bed. The area is so quiet, you don't hear much traffic, mostly the birds chirping. It feels like a safe little cocoon, a hobbit hole indeed. The host, Daleen, is very friendly and keen to make sure you are comfortable. This is the place to stay if you prefer privacy, peace and quiet along with creature comforts. The host has also made sure that you are comfortable during loadshedding.

I thouroughly enjoyed my stay at The Hobbit Hole in Bloemfontein. It's a real little gem!

My hosts Daleen and Reander escorted me to The Hobbit Hole and made sure that I had everything that I needed before they left. Due to the nature of my husband's work, I travel frequently and often stay in Guest Houses, so I have seen many of them and am familiar with certain service standards. The Hobbit Hole well exceeded all of my expectations. The attention to detail was noticeable eg. toothpicks, mosquito repellant as well as a coffee plunger for those of us that enjoy good coffee. The unit is small and cosy but very luxurious, with ample packing space (cupboards). I would definitely recommend The Hobbit Hole to someone wanting to overnight or even possibly a longer stay in Bloemfontein. It is nice and central and therefor close to all the local restaurants, shopping malls etc. For me however coming from a farm, it was a nice quiet retreat, which was surprising, a real little Hobbit Hole!
