Bloemfontein, South Africa skyline: the 38 most iconic buildings and best views in Bloemfontein

Such an amazing piece of art but I can’t believe the restaurant closed down. It’s sad to see how busy the place was about 5 years ago and now people don’t appreciate it as much. Loved the upkeeping of the place and lawns.

What a wonderful art museum close to Naval Hill, Bloemfontein. Old South African masters and contemporary art on exhibition and on sale. Beautiful gardens to wander in with the larger sculptures exhibited there. Only R10 parking fee, entrance for free in May 2025.

Saw a well curated exhibition here a few weeks ago, very knowledgeable and personable young Man TK should us around aswell. Top top experience that I didn't expect. We'll done to the curators and artists exhibiting aswell. Exciting pieces, great works of varying techniques.

The place is worth visiting. To appreciate the work of others and unwind outside, while enjoying the view of outside sculptures and the feeling of outdoors. The place could really use a restaurant or at least a cafe because, after exploring different parts of the museum personally I was worn out and needed a drink or something sweet to recharge. What I've noticed about the museum is that they give people an opportunity showcase their craft, if that is not the reason then I suppose they can do better because some pieces weren't all that if you understand what I mean. The best highlight for me was the section for blind people, yes if you have a blind friend(s) or a family member who appreciates art, then allow them to tag along! Fyi: there are cats and the ones at the back love attention #smiles

Lovely place. Nice manicured lawns for picnics. Art is interesting. Always something new on display.

The experience was awesome because I'm an Art lover but I specialise in poetry and acting,I somehow wished one of my poems could be framed and be part of other pieces in the museum

-It's safe and beautiful. -Accommodates kiddies -Perfect for those romantic picnics -My only problem is that it closes early which is at 5pm. -Entrance is free

Wow!!! We had an amazing time at the museum!!! We enjoyed each exhibit so so much!! The exhibits are beautiful and extremely well looked after. Will definitely recommend. Kids loved it.

This place was very clean and amazing saw all kind of fossils, animals and interactive stuff. Entrance fee of R10 per adult is surprisingly low for the place. Highly recommend visiting

The NMB is a nice museum to visit. The building is rational and solid, with a nice garden around. I especially liked the snake fountain. The collection is well explained in English, there is a lot of information to be learned. As a vegan person I keep uno star down because I don't appreciate the use of alive animals, like spiders and other insects, snakes and the alikes. At the entrance the cashier was very nice to me. -R!cca+

This museum was a complete surprise! For only 10 rand as an entrance fee, you can learn a lot about South Africa, the Free State, and Bloemfontein. I definitely recommend this place.

The exhibitions are not only beautiful and interesting, but very educational as well. 4 hours was not enough to absorb all there is to see and experience. A very big and special thanks to Jacob and Thomas for their EXCELLENT service and the friendly and professional way they helped us with our wheelchair when we were unable to use the elevator. We will definitely be back..🏛️

I’ve been to this museum probably 50 times. It’s still one of my favorite places to visit when I get to Bloemfontein. I wish they had more funding to expand, but its still one of the best places I go to. Everyone is friendly, everything is clean and really informative. Yes there’s updates needed but you can’t go wrong with a fantastic museum. Family friendly, my favorite area is the Solar System section. Take a chance on this museum it might just surprise you!

Absolutely incredible! Well kept and organised, a wide diversity of displays and exhibits. I recommend spending at least two hours in the museum to see all the museum has to offer. Perfect place to take children to learn about natural history as well as Bloemfontein and South African history. I will definitely be back to go through the exhibits properly. I arrived late on Saturday and didn't get time to go through everything properly. Take note of the correct opening time: Mon - Fri: 09:00 - 16:30 Sat: 10:00 - 15:00 Sun: Closed

I'm thoroughly impressed with the Naval Hill Planetarium in Bloemfontein! The planetarium offers an out-of-this-world experience, literally. The shows are informative, engaging, and visually stunning, making complex astronomical concepts easy to grasp. *Key Highlights:* - *Stellar Shows*: The planetarium features a range of shows that explore the wonders of the universe, from stars and planets to galaxies and beyond. - *State-of-the-Art Technology*: The facility utilizes cutting-edge technology to project stunning visuals and provide an immersive experience. - *Educational Value*: The planetarium is an excellent resource for students and educators, offering a unique learning experience that complements traditional classroom instruction. - *Family-Friendly*: The planetarium is a great destination for families, with shows and activities suitable for all ages. *Overall Experience:* The Naval Hill Planetarium is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in astronomy and space exploration. With its engaging shows, state-of-the-art technology, and educational value, it's an excellent spot for families, students, and enthusiasts alike.

Naval Hill planetarium is one of the iconic building one has to visit in Bloemfontein, it's a pity they don't have shows everyday but I think it's due to the lack of customers, the only show you can watch is on Saturday at 7:00pm and what a show, it's a must watch. While there, look out for the range animal roam around the reserve. You can take a drive to the west side and see the Mandela's statue and breathtaking views of bloomfontien city. The reserve is very famous for running and cycling as there is no entry free.

Their website says they open 06:30 to 08:30 on Saturdays. We sat waiting an hour before we were told they open 19:00 at night. They should really update their website

We were very worried that we would be the only people there but to our surprise it was almost full. It was an adventure to outer space that we will never forget. The show was very informative. Only getting 4/5 because one of the ladies toilets was disgusting. Not sure what else can be done on Naval Hill but there is wildlife to be seen on route to the Planetarium.

Seeing this huge Nelson Mandela statue is worth a visit and it's for free! Chilling from up high over looking the city in quietness.👌

We attended a "drive in" picnic style jazz concert, with the musicians performing on the stoep of the planetarium. The atmosphere was festive, music great, and the surroundings incredibly beautiful. My photo certainly won't do justice, but may just entice you to give the next concert a go.

Awesome experience seeing how big the solar system is. School and private groups will find it very interesting. Check out their facebook page to see next shows.

What a surreal experience. The sadness I felt was just something else. My people. 27k people perished during a dark time in our history. The museum looks amazing with the new look. They've done an incredible job. Absolutely 10/10. Clean, safe atmosphere, learning about new artifacts, reading new stories, feeling new emotions every time we visit. Keep doing God's work. Keep their names alive. And a final R.I.P. to the 345 Fourie souls that perished in the concentration camps, and 75 Fourie Souls on the battlefield. We are all a family, in some way or another.

An absolutely heartbreaking experience to see all the names of the people ( mostly women and children) who died in the concentration camps. The reality of it all is just so overwhelming and sad. Grounds and museum and monuments beautifully maintained.

For anyone interested in the Boer War, this is a must! A whole day is need to taking everything that is presented. The facility is extremely neat and maintained, and the displays are excellent. I am sorry I haven't visited the museum before

The War Museum is a poignant and thought-provoking destination that offers a powerful glimpse into the history of conflict. The museum's extensive collection of artifacts, exhibits, and personal stories brings the past to life, providing a deeply moving experience for visitors. *Key Highlights:* - *Comprehensive Exhibits*: The museum's exhibits cover a wide range of conflicts, providing a thorough understanding of the historical context and impact of war. - *Personal Stories*: The museum shares personal accounts and stories of those who lived through war, adding an emotional depth to the exhibits. - *Artifacts and Memorabilia*: The collection includes a vast array of artifacts, from uniforms and equipment to letters and photographs, offering a tangible connection to the past. *Overall Experience:* The War Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of war. The museum's thought-provoking exhibits and personal stories create a lasting impression, serving as a reminder of the importance of peace and the sacrifices made by those who served.

The exhibitions are not only beautiful and interesting, but very educational as well. 4 hours was not enough to absorb all there is to see and experience. The receptionist is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back..🏛️ Visited on

This is a very good museum with a lot of original exhibits, well designed rooms according to different periods of the war, and prominent people who were involved in those events. I can't say that I enjoyed it as the topic is very sad and hard - I had tears in my eyes for most of the time we were thete, but it is so well designed, presented, and preserved! Visit to this museum was certainly a highlight to our visit to Bloemfontein.

Very neat and well kept, from the grass to the top floor. Very reasonable prices too, we payed R50 in total for two pensioners and a adult. Beware that it will be an emotionally moving visit when you realize the scope and horror of the war. It is not a huge museum and you can take everything in under two hours or less. No cameras allowed inside. Bathrooms were neat and clean and there is an elevator, allthoug you would move from one hall to another by stairs.

This is a government building where you can find the mayor. Remember it is heavily protected. SAPS on site 24/7

Absolute gem of a small museum in Bloemfontein. If you enjoy historical architecture and SA history in general, the house, the items in it, and the fantastically presented tour are an absolute must-see.

Really a wonderful place to visit and unwind. The tour guides are absolutely and the Victorian aesthetic in the house is mind-blowing ! I will definitely be visiting again.

It is an amazing trip back in time. Kids and I loved it. A great piece of history.

Under construction boards is up on site but no dates of more or less this museum will be open again.

Wonderful to see the architecture of John Edwin Harrison. The house consists of mainly Edwardian style artifacts, tastefully decorated and beautiful wooden floors! a Must visit when in Bloemfontein

Excellent. The knowledge of this curator is unbelievable. The place is spotless clean, showing you her care. The same with the garden. The lifestyle of the Edwardian period , 1897, can be strongly noticed. The bricks was hand made and can be clearly noticed. Harrison was a very good architect and builder. The most amazing to me was the original items as use by the owners , still in place as used. Well kept history

Enjoyed the tour yesterday through Freshford House Museum. Not my first time. Thats how much I love the old places. Our tour guide Shani is so informative. She is really passionate about her work there. After taking us through the house and explaining everything in such detail you really get the feeling of how the people lived in those days in places like that. Obviously it was for the more privileged people of that period. But wow, so interesting. We also walked through the English country garden which is cared for with so much love. She told us to smell the roses and boy I have never smelt roses like that before. Thank you Shani and Aphavia for taking such good care of Freshford and its visitors.

If you are new here or just passing through. This is a must stopping/exploring point for all. Great views of the city around you and also some wildlife right here in the heart of bloemfontein. Ranging from dassies to wildebeest. Here you can also find the planetarium to go see some stars(was not open on our arrival) but dates are indicated on a board there. Also a massive statue of Nelson Mandela. The restaurant that was there unfortunately looks abandoned and closed. Definitely add this to your sight seeing list.

Came as a surprise. Hiked up expecting to only see the Nelson Mandela statue. However, beware as you walk along the pavement you will encounter some buffalos, ostriches, ducks, and impalas…. Don’t scream even if you are scared

This place offers the best, unobstructed views of Bloemfontein city, a must visit for photographers. The entry is free which is very rare these days. You can enjoy early morning run in the reserve or cycling or drive up the the viewing deck for a beautiful sundown, you can also have lunch or dinner at The Edge restaurant next the viewing point. The tallest Nelson Mandela statue makes this place even more special and of historic significance.

The ultimate running 🏃 place with a well paved way to jog on the side of the road… this place is amazing with a good variety of animals whilst doing your rounds! The view from the top of the hill is out of this world where you could see the whole of Bloemfontein! Good place to be

This place has the most beautiful view of Bloemfontein. You are able to see Bloemfontein's city from here. There's also a statue of the Late World renowned Nelson Mandela.

Great place to get a view of the city of Bloemfontein, the Mandela statue. Excellent place for running. Group Park Runs every Saturday morning. If you are lucky you might see a giraffe or two.

The scenery is amazing, perfect for a walk date or family outting. This place shows you all angles of our beautiful city and the entrance is free which is amazing! I saw on my last visit that there's an Earth and space planetariam but it was still under construction, I can't wait when they open it. ❤️

Such a hidden gem. Well maintained and the tour guide, Pulani, is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well worth the visit.

Friendly and helpful staff. I had a quick tour over my lunch break. Good displays with clear information and its free. Really worth a visit. Enter at the new security gate to the left (east) of the building.

The First Raadsaal in Bloemfontein is a historic gem! This iconic building played a significant role in South Africa's history, serving as the seat of the Volksraad, the parliament of the Orange Free State. Today, it's a museum that offers a glimpse into the country's past. Visitors can explore the beautifully restored building, which features impressive architecture and historic artifacts. The Raadsaal's museum showcases the history and culture of the Orange Free State, providing insight into the lives of the people who shaped the region. The building's significance extends beyond its historical importance, as it also represents the country's rich cultural heritage. With its stunning architecture and well-preserved interior, the First Raadsaal is a must-visit destination for history buffs and those interested in South Africa's past. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this iconic landmark offers a unique and educational experience. Don't miss the opportunity to step back in time and explore the history of the Orange Free State at this incredible site

Helpful and friendly staff willing to explain the fascinating parts of this building. Free but gladly donated. Worth a visit, truly.

A very interesting museum. This is Bloemfontein's oldest building and has a really sizeable collection of pioneer era wagons. This is the place where the Free State Republic was declared just to give an idea of the historical significance. The museum is free but please donate if you can.

Pulane Mashiyi the Museum Officer was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the First Raadsaal . She was very patient with my children and always happy to answer their questions.

Sometimes you travel past these historical buildings everyday without notice. So glad we finally visited the First Raadsaal and the Wagon Museum guided by the enthusiastic Pulane. Thank you Pulane! You are so insightful and passionate about our history!

In important part of history took place. Well designed and refurbished museum with very helpful staff. It is not 'another' museum. You can really feel the atmosphere of old presidential days. Fantastic experience.

We phoned and checked the website, when we arrived when they was supposed to be open, they were closed, and the place is a mess and stink.

Beautiful place full of history. Original art works. Accurate depiction of old Afrikaner lifestyle. But very neglected, cleaners were playing music throughout the whole house, garden hasn't been tend to since 1867, garden equipment were laying on an antique couch, plaster cracked, ceilings molded, display doors were open and best of all- the security guard was high.

its a historic place with fresh news both good and bad

According website / Google maps they are open on Sundays from 14h00. No person in site and the garden look terrible. Please update your times and if you are still open?????

I just can't wait for the place to open so that I can have the full experience of museum.

Not worth going to. The place is a mess, the staff doesn't really care for the monument.

Not as majestic as you'd expect from the second highest court in the land (after ConCourt) but she's still beautiful.

Beautiful old building. Would need to come back on. Weekday to see the inside - hopefully still as a visitor!

What a beautiful building where justice is serve.

Very cool like the building kinda big tho but those pillars dam

Such a beautiful building and an extremely special place in our justice system

Heritage monument great place to be

The one and only Supreme Court of Appeals of South Africa.

I have very mixed feelings about this place. It needs serious maintenance. But the staff are making a very brave effort in safekeeping South African literature, especially Afrikaans and Sotho. Their book launches are well organised and attended.

Apart of it being the only Afrikaans Literary Museum, it holds information of the most Highly Prominent writer's, upcoming writer's. Not just information, but their artefacts as well. It caters for all, including people with disabilities as well across the the country and world wide. I highly recommend it.

The selection of artifacts is commendable, but the presentation is outdated. Would be awesome to see this presented in a way that would encourage visitors to interact

The most beautiful architecture with the most helpful staff! Abel at the front desk is always a favourite face!

Nobody answers the phone that appears on their home page

Beautiful place. Well kept. Worth a visit!

Beautiful old building, rich in Afrikaans history and upcoming SeSotho literature.

Lovely experience. Went there for fun and games got exactly that and more. Quality time at the restaurant and nice shopping 🥰

Nice mall but every second week the escalators is out of order. I don't mind climbing stairs but I honestly think that if the escalators are breaking every odd week then management needs to attend the matter promptly. This has been going on for years.

Worst place i have even been.. my bakkoe was stolen in secure parking area with security.. would not recoment it to anyone

Clean place beautiful shops and kind people. The rolled ice cream from there is superb not to mention the fact that there's a SPUR restaurant serves delicious foods and drinks..

It's actually a great place... Clean... Which I like the most.. wheelchair ramp, Clean toilets and baby charging areas...

The mall is huge with many shops. You can find almost everything. It's easy to locate

This incident happened around 20:00 on Wednesday 2 July 2025. Wallet got stolen at Fantasia. Fantasia employee came to ask us if we all had our belongings because a man just ran out looking guilty, we then realised our friend's jacket containing his wallet was taken. When we asked the male security that was standing just up the stairs if he saw anyting, he got defensive and said that he didn't see anyting very unwilling to help. I then went to the security/ camera footage room and Sylvia from Fidelity Security was very helpful and patient while we looked through the footage. We saw the exact description of the man that the Fantasia employee described to us running out of the arcade. Unfortunately he somehow conveniently knew exactly where the cameras were placed and therefore we could not get any proof. Please look into the security hired because that might just be one of the core crime problems in this shopping centre. Security helping criminals steal is not security.

Loch Logan Waterfront Mall is generally a clean and well-organized shopping center with a good variety of stores and restaurants. But I want to warn other shoppers about a specific experience I had at a kiosk inside the mall. I stopped at a kiosk called Superior Accessories (photo attached it's near the escalators in the middle of the mall). I wanted to replace the screen protector on my phone. I asked the man behind the counter how much it costs, but he didn’t give me a price and immediately started working on my phone. I assumed it would be around R200 to R250 like most other places. I then gave him my wife’s phone as well, thinking it’s a simple job. While he was working, he kept trying to convince me to buy a phone cover and other accessories. He talks very fast and keeps you distracted. When I finally said I only want to pay for the two screen protectors, he suddenly told me the price was R750 each. I was shocked. That is way too expensive for something that normally costs R100 to R200. After an argument and nearly walking away, I ended up paying R1000 just to be done with it. They also have a small sign that says “No Refund / Exchange Only,” which tells me I’m probably not the first person this has happened to. Please be careful if you visit this kiosk. They do not give prices upfront, they try to distract you while working, and once they start, you're stuck. This is not an honest way to do business, and it’s unfortunate to find this in an otherwise good mall.

I love Waterfront Shopping Mall, it has most of the things under one roof and the largest in Bloemfontein. Situated next to the Toyota Free State Stadium and almost at the centre of Bloemfontein City. The shopping experience is marvelous with friendly environment.

This mall is outdated and a little disappointing. It needs a make over and better care must be given to accessibility to payment for parking. Why don't you have card payment facilities at the pay points? And if a card payment is available at the exit boom, why don't you notify customers at the pay point about the option? Going back into the mall, from the basemen parking to the top floor to draw cash is not fun. Come on Waterfront up your game a bit!

My first time visiting. Lovely stores and staff are very helpful when you try to find your way around. Keep it up!

Really strange mall with a confusing layout that's hard to access. Who designed this place? Lots of good shops here but the property is designed for car access moreso than pedestrians. Interface with the small lake is unusual and portion of the property facing the lake has no windows and feels run down. Lake itself is poorly maintained and full of floating garbage. Seems like it is a shared responsibility between the mall owner and local government but nobody taking the initiative to keep the property clean. Very unfortunate outcome. Low quality retail experience to say the least.

It's okay, has the largest retail shops in their respective groups. Safety issues as ehailing service providers are intimidated by meter taxi operators in collusion with mall security guards.

Amazing mall. Many places to shop and eat. Typo and Ocean Basket is my personal favorite. Would highly recommend. 👌 10/10

What an absolute treasure! We were treated to an overnight stay by our family and in our opinion, every aspect of the venue is 5-star. Friendly, attentive staff. Accommodation superbly presented with every fine detail of comfort included. Breakfast perfectly balanced & personalised to suit each one of us. A highly recommended stay. Thank you so much

Tuscan Rose hosted a week long conference for my firm and the atmosphere of this venue is exceptional! We had 5 star quality tea and lunch and the staff is friendly and very helpful. I will recommend Tuscan Rose as a top tier conference venue!

Dont respond to whatsapps , wanted to bring in our own decor and then the owners attitude changed, she did not want to meet with our decor team and wanted to charge me a consultation fee to meet to arrange anything else very bad experience- Luckily we parted ways and we found a venue that gave us certainty and is willing to to accommodate all our needs

Had our wedding there this weekend and it was everything we could ask for. A special thanks to Veronica and her team with special notice to Eric , Frans , Anieta , Annie , Sonja , Mpho , George , Mmamotse and Andries who catered our function the weekend. From Friday ,Eric recieved us to our room, till Sunday after breakfast everything was amazing till the smallest detial. The staff were amazing profecional at all times helpful and cater to our everyneed and desire. The food , the venue was done to perfection and we could not ask for anything more. This was really a one in a lifetime experience with not one hickup. Everything was on time and perfect in everyway. Well done all and thank you for an amazing time spend at your venue. Will highly recomend Tuscan Rose for any event the team really go out of there way to accomadate every disire. Thank you agian.

Was so looking forward to have this venue on our list for our wedding, but they never got back to us. We emailed them twice, with 2 weeks between emails, and nothing from them. We think this is very poor service, I mean if they cannot even answer an email to book a viewing, then how will they be in coordinating the actual wedding?! I would not recommend having them as an option for your wedding.

This is a beautiful place. The ataff is friendly and service top notch.

We had a celebration of one of our colleagues there. It’s a beautiful venue for all kinds of events. Beautiful gardens for pictures as well, not mention the food they serve. I recommend for weddings and parties.

This place is really just for a sleepover, but Host made up for what is lacking, his friendly way of greeting people and assistance in need was awesome.... Just need a fridge and toilets should have privacy.. Enjoyed the break fast, it was very filling and get prepared in your presence.. for that you earn 10 Stars.. the restaurant is clean and well set up, just a sorry that you can't enjoy lunch or supper..

Beautiful location and friendly hostess Found the fully open toilet a bit off putting and no kettle or microwave Breakfast was good and the restaurant is fantastic

Nice peaceful space. Feels like you are miles away from the nearest town. Only issue was the open plan setup is a bit too open (no partition for the toilet)

The Sunday buffet is definitely not worth the almost R300 per person. Service started off great but declined rapidly from there. Food was only served well past one pm. When dishing i got the feeling that they felt they where doing me a favour as i begged for a second peace of chicken (at a buffet). The wrong bottle of wine was brought twice. There was not enough of the desert for everyone. We had to ask them to bring the correct bill three times before giving up and working out what we actually owed on our own. Overall the food was nice but not great, would not say the experience was exceptionally bad. But by no means was it good or pleasant. Would not recommend to others.

Warm karoo is an exquisite venue for events but dinning hall is nothing to write home about. The air conditioning system is not working and peoples table was jam-packed. You can't pass freely to go and ease yourself or grab your food at the kitchen arrangement. No usher to show you your nominated sitting arrangement even though the lists are on the wall. Imagine squeezing the His Royalty the king in a compacted area without enough aeration. It was my first experience there and I was not happy about it, unless if its because its black peoples event. The network was so bad and needs improvement with free wifi if I may say.

Beautiful venue with an equestrian feel. Various options for functions both in- and outdoor available. Excellent food and attention to detail. A bit more on the pricey side, but worth it. The road is unfortunately not very car friendly, especially when it has rained.

Definitely the best wedding venue and service in Bloemfontein. Thank you to the team - LeRoux, DJ and Lindsay. From the first day up to after the wedding, the staff were friendly, professional, helpful and FANTASTIC at what they do. I felt assured and had no worries on my wedding day. Highly recommended.

To ALL the Staff, Francois & Chane; I want to take this oppertunity to Thank you your team !!! what an exceptional experience!!! Friendliest staff, excellent food and catering!!! Regards Louis

The staff were friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to help, make us comfortable and to cater to our needs. The breakfast was delicious. We look forward to going there again.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall very clean. Great supper and breakfast.

Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Will most definitely recommend them.

Friendly staff and great facilties. Rooms are clean and spacious

I recently stayed at a 4-star accommodation that felt more like a 5-star experience. The spacious rooms provided a luxurious feel, complemented by incredibly comfortable pillows and large bathrooms with impressive showers. The in-room entertainment exceeded expectations, offering not only Easy View options on the TV but also access to Netflix and various channels. One standout feature was the complimentary breakfast – a delightful spread featuring generous portions of bacon and eggs, along with the usual cereals and quality filter coffee. This amenity added significant value to the stay, making it ideal for both short visits and extended stays of up to 7 nights. Overall, this accommodation truly delivered a top-notch experience, proving to be excellent value for money.

The place is quite and friendly and very clean.

EDIT - Lovely venue however challenging to check in after 19:30. We arrived at 20:15 after notifying the owner at 16:00 that we would be later than 19:30. He lives on the property. Electricity and WiFi issues on two of the three days of our stay. Owner unavailable between the hours of 10pm and 7am if you have an emergency as the phone is off.

We had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse! The location is absolutely perfect – close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and had a cozy, welcoming feel. One of the highlights of our visit was the mini golf course – such a fun and unique touch! It added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-located getaway. We’ll be back!

N lovely place to stay over. Great service and friendly welcome received by the owners. There is so much detail in the rooms. Absolutely loved it. Would recommend it to everyone!

Best for a stopover in Bloemfontein. Rooms are neat and clean with everything you could need. Well situated, and very affordable. I'll definitely be back

Highly recommended. We enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was available. Very friendly hosts. We wil definately stay there again.

1. We did book in advance. 2. We fully paid in advance. 3. Very bad reception. I was told to wait outside till I paid. On my response that I did pay, I was told it was not enough. 4. When realising their mistake their was no apology. 5. I did ask if I could pay what ever the shortfall is. I was never answered on that. 6. At long last after this embarresment he took me to a different room than we had booked without a bath. Our reserved room was not cleaned. 7. The remarks about the relationship between me and my girlfriend were unasked for and totally out of line. Important: I am not a bum (not yet) and I am not bullied!! 8. Please keep the fee we did pay in full in advance, but please use it for some self improvenent 9. My gratitude to Solo Gracia Guesthouse for accomodating us on short notice with superior service and facailities

High end furnishings. Well equipped room. Maintenance required to minor areas.

Interesting visit, was assisted last minute.

Like a museum.Bar with great food served for special occation

If you want to visit a panzer museum, 1 SSB Bloemfontein is the place to go. You need a spot to layover 1 SSB can help. I stayed in the old NCO quarters (+-R200 p/p per night.) with only one draw back, no mess facilities for visitors. Fortunately there is a shopping centre within 2Km from the Base (Tempe). Check it out, try them.

World War history in South African equipment used in the era of 1950 of armored warfare.

Truely a small jem of a museum inside a working unit. Only for those interested in Armour and the military. If there do not miss the individual unit exhibits, and the annual photograph books. I recommend that arrangements are made with the unit for a guide as no one is there normally. 1 SSB has a very distinguished history. School of Armour just up the road also has an impressive museum, and especially preserved examples of many tanks.

Stayed over at T CLUB. ONE THING ABOUT THE ARMOUR FMN, THEY TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR UNITS. CLEAN and Regularly maintained.

Very interesting stories and history stored in 1 location. Makes for great Saturday afternoon visits just before a braai.

Comfortable and beautiful rooms. Breakfast was delicious. Value for money. Friendly and helpful staff and owners. Had a wonderful stay. Will definitely stay there again.

This is such an awesome place for a breakaway with a group. The layout of the rooms create the perfect atmosphere for a good party and social. All amenities are there and the owner will also go out of his way to make your stay perfect. Rooms are really nice and spacious. Nothing more I can ask from a place.

A very chilled, affordable and comfortable accommodation. Location is perfect and away from the city's noise

Lovely guest house. Old stables converted into great rooms. Had the family suite. More than enough space. Lovely and clean. Good breakfast for decent price. Very friendly service.

Beautiful extra ordinary Guesthouse! Friendly & accomodating host, comfortable rooms with furniture made by the owner. delicious ample breakfast. Highly recommended. Will visit again in future - Thank you Johan

Great experience.. wonderful hospitality. Awesome people and service.

Beautifully done! Friendly reception, rooms are very clean and beautifully recorated. Aircon in room 7 didn't work properly and we didn't notice the open window, my daughter did not sleep wel because of mozzies. Our entertainment was a stunning great dane pup! Will visit again, thank you for a lovely stay!

Room and safety issues are shared elsewhere. Overall, the wi-fi connectivity in the room and the conference facility was unreliable. The staff servicing the conference facility where mostly unavailable (did not check in regularly to assist with issues/requests). Since events are hosted in the evening right outside the rooms, guests must be prepared for noise after 9 pm. Also be prepared for some dirt road when traveling to the property.

Compliments to the chef and his/her team. The food was delicious 😋. The place can use a few renovations and new bedding plus sheets. Overall the place was worth trying out.

Rooms are clean, but the doors of the room are not in good condition, which threatens the safety of guests.

Great Wedding Venue Very Beautiful with big green lush grass area's with stunning rose gardens makes amazing photos with all needed decor and cutlery as well as lights and catering and Amazing people very helpful. The surrounding areas in the field and by the river make amazing couples wedding fotos. Accommodation is great with A\C and full bathrooms. Great Food very tasty! Great boat ride and river houses to rent for the weekend big enough to house 12 people.

What a beautiful place . Ideal for weddings and other get away. Had a very Enjoyable wedding for our kids. Evering thing done to perfection

Great accommodation, just off the N1 and about 18km's north of Bloemfontein. Nicely fitted rooms, with a/c, full bathroom and little kitchenette. The views are great - Modder river and beautiful gardens. There are more halls (for any occasion) than what I could count. The food are to die for. The service are great, from everyone. A definite stop if you're in the area.

Great place for a nice weekend get aways. The food is delicious and the staff very friendly. It has a more summer vibe but the bedding is great, place is clean and has a bar fridge and a TV in the room

This place is 80% perfect. The rooms are clean, has friendly staff and good breakfast. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Its in a nice and clean neighborhood with restaurants and a mall nearby. An improvement required is to install sound proof windows for the rooms facing the street. The traffic noise is frustrating as its located on a busy street so the noise goes on the whole night making it difficult to sleep. Another is security. There is no gate at the drive way so anyone can walk in anytime and the room we slept in had no burglar bars or any form of security and was facing the street. However there is a remote controlled gate to access the parking at the rear of the building.

Guesthouse was good. Service was up to standard. Was only dissatisfied that at booking wasn't advised that chef was on leave, only got to know when was already there.

I loved this guesthouse. It is exactly as in the pictures online, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and enough space to move around.

Was a great stay at the Milner House. Very nice suburb and close to Bloemfontein central district. Everything was neat and clean and the staff was very friendly. If I go to Bloemfontein again I will definitely book my stay at the Milner House again.

The Milner House was responsible for taking good care of the cast & crew of the production GodgOdgoD during the Free State Arts Festival. What a pleasure! When looking for accommodation in Bloemfontein be sure to book with The Milner House. The wooden floor in number 2 immediately made me feel at home and the team at The Milner could not be more welcoming. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day - thank you for fuelling our team to perform at their best this fest!

It serves breakfast and the housekeeping staff is friendly with a great wifi connection, beautiful range of rooms and the owner is very much welcoming..... Its a good accommodation for anyone who is looking for the great view of a mountain and adventure

Great guesthouse in a good location. I will recommend it easily especially as value for money and safety. Decor is good and rooms a nice size and the hosts are very friendly

Rooms were clean.Bed was comfortable.The only let down is we were not informed prior to check in that we had to order breakfast beforehand, and that breakfast was available.

Beautiful place, warm welcome from the guy at the reception and very helpful, However the place need to have someone on side to assist guest especially in the mornings to help with essential things. Our stay left a very bad impression about the place after our encounter with the lady who owns the place, no regards for what so ever for her guests, my sister greeted her and gave her a bad look and did not bother to respond back. We had to beg her to move her car in order for us to enter the place which she took her time to do so, which was very rude and unprofessional. She need to understand the nature of her business and how to behave around customers.

I was there 2weeks ago i have seen Ehrlich Park Lodge on Google and when i call the lady was very friendly when we arrived we received great service the rooms and the whole premises are very neat and secured you would get your own key to the main gate and the breakfast very delicious really worth for your money

Place still needs alot of work in terms of the interior of the rooms. Bedding definitely needs an update, plug by the side of the bed sparked the whole night, had to switch it of... Needs to install wifi and get rid of the open view hd and use dstv... Paid for breakfast but only had breakfast there once and we had a 3night stay... The food was blend and the juice tasted like water with a dash of some guava

1. They only have 3 family rooms incase u are traveling with children 2. Otherwise the place is clean & the Gentleman working there was very kind. 3. I will recommend it to others.

Dis place does not deserve 3 stars. My friends booked here via phone and told them they can pay on arrival but when they arrived there booking was not there and they dont even want to help you find some where els to sleep. Dis is very unprofessional and would never come here again and recommend you to look elsewhere.

Super friendly staff, spacious units, perfect for large groups booking different units. Safe parking although there aren't always enough parking. Will go there again because of the friendly staff

Good study area.Chairs are fairly comfortable for good sit and back supporting for long hours.But the are very limited plug socket for your chargers.So this limits the time you can spend there.But above those.Like the view near the windows ( level 7 ) as well as that its quite.

Great place to study. Always motivated

It is perfect just increase the number of power outlets for student's studying with laptops. We are really struggling.

It was so quiet and honestly productive. The toilets weren't tht clean but besides that everything was on par with what a study area shld be.

It was amazing:) it's nice and quiet and the students who go there are also nice to people

The library is so incredible inside and it is so peaceful. It has sections that are clearly defined and oh my god, it's amazing

It's a great place to study at but it's cold

Waterfront has almost all the needs every customer may need. However, they should consider rest places on each floor to accommodate elderly and the sickly people

Lovely Good service and has respect for other people

All is well except the Rose Garden Park. The state of the park has declined drastically. Poor management and maintenance. Looks spooky compared to early 2000s.

Not much to say, but it a pleasure to be there

The mall is a nice place to visit

Very nice

Best experience ever

It's sad to say people in this place are unprofessional,disorganized,dishonest and crooks. I reserved to sleep for a night on the 18th of January 2025 via Booking.com(Whom I wonder why they still advertise this place on their site). I followed and did everything needed to stay in their place,did my booking paid on the 15th timeously only for this place to cancel my booking midnight on th 17th whilst I was enroute knowing I had a place to sleep.Reason being water disruptions and directed me to cancel my booking with full refund.Needless to say it's 2 months they still haven't refunded me.I have being calling a thousand times with one story to another,from one person to the next. The last straw is this lady(Supposed Manager) is the conveyer belt of lies...called me on Saturday 22nd March(after I threw a fit 2 days prior to this)to say the accounting department has paid my refund back and I should check on my account. It's Monday 24th still no sign of my refund,I called asked for POP midday,which she promised to send...nothing.Called again to say hey where is the POP 4 hours later.She decided not to come to the phone.2 full months running around asking for my money as if I borrowing.Imagine having to still go somewhere without an idea where you to sleep,personlly needed to make last minute reservation somewhere else(unnecessary costs),stress that what I don't find a place.What if the fee will be so high due to last minute booking,having traveled over 600 kilometers. Still beg and wait months for a refund.I will never ever consider this place for nothing.

Me and my entire team stayed at the lodge fo weekend during an event we held in bloemfontein. The staff were friendly and catered to our every need. The rooms were clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed after a long day.

Very bad service and bad communication they spoilt my birthday plans this spa.iv bin to many SPA lodges and it's a first time I receive such low class service wit bad communication to top it with.......

1. 2. First day sheets was dirty, Shower is nice but the water is all over the house place . The blinds were not fully closed,I felt like there is no privacy on that room. . Unfair behavior, I’ve booked jaccuzi for 2. N the lady said it can be Saturday @ 12:00 nd checked out that day. I explained to her that we have to drive back home. She said 12 is the only time that they have. We stayed around and 12:00 we went back to the lodge and I found the receptionist with 2 people. They tell me that they have booked another 2 people for spa on the same time they will speak to the couple i can wait outside they will tell after 5 minutes then I went outside like she told me. After 5 minutes I went inside because she never returned to me like she said. I found no one at the reception.my husband even asked is the lady running away now because I was just standing there without anyone assist me he kept on looking at the time because we have to drive back. After few minutes the other lady passed and she asked if were assisted i explained everything to her and she said I can check reply on WhatsApp and they said they will have to move mine to 13:00. We couldn’t wait anymore because it was late and to think what if they made a mistake again Unfair treatment.unfair behavior they couldn’t face me anymore that’s why they replied on WhatsApp.

The booking was excellent with receptionist. Room was neat and lovely. The Spa, WOW, AMAZING. You must make use of the messages! Thank you for a great service, you guys are top notch...from Etienne and Thelma Beukes. For our 20th Anniversary

Our two bed room didn't have a proper bathroom, the room was just devided with a glass wall (that was not going up to the seiling) to make a bathroom... Not very convenient. Otherwise the bed was pretty comfortable.

Stayed over for one night! The room was lovely with a great spa bath! Friendly and helpful staff! The breakfast was delicious! Coming again next time to try the spa!

Beautiful sound. I now feel emotional regulated.

The concert of Edith Pfiaf was a great success but the advertising of this event was poor. I feel ashamed that people didn't do their work by just promoting or advertise this huge event. You missed out on a beautiful concert.

13 April no show like entertainment but true focused music at top level from the Grand German Trios. Free State- world class!

It was an awesome experience to sing in the Odeion, the sound was amazing amd created a nice atmosphere!

FSSO with Albie v Schalkwyk and Charl du Plessis. Excellent

The place is so amazing in terms of music 🙏

Brilliant performance!

This was extremely disappointing! The artifacts were ruined, paintings cut open, lights not even working/ switched on, I had to use my phone’s torch as a source of light. No guide, and disgustingly damaged museum! Make a change!

This historical site has become an embarassment to our city. The exibits have been vandalised and many of them such as "Die Vryburger Loop" have been closed. This was the most difinitive historical weapons collection in our province. Where are these priceless artifacts????

From previous visits I know that this museum is very informative, but these days it is almost never open for visits. The visiting times are not being adhered to. Today, Friday 10 August 2018 at 12:30, I wanted to visit, but I found a locked gate, eventhough the visiting times on the notice board at the gate clearly states that the museum is supposed to be open till 15:30. This is not the first time I find a locked gate. If the museum does not want visitors they should rather close it permanently.

Unfortunately not being maintained. Has potential

Sad. Neglected. Old historical building falling apart. Not open due not having lights in the museum. When I visited in 2019 they had the same problem!

Is there any other entrance we don't know of? It says open, but the gates are wide shut.

It was good seeing military machinery and all but they could do better in terms of cleaning up the place

I went there for business. Nice and friendly staff, best view from the church over langenhoven park

Best place to worship

Worship, Worship. You must visit and listen to them

Best church to be part of.

Beautiful place

(Translated by Google) Order at all times (Original) Orde ten alle tyd

Not really my place to go and look at old rusted army stuff🙄

Grate i enjoyed

Was at a funeral. The service was excellent. A beautiful church inside and the gardens awesone

Such hidden beauty in the heart of Bloemfontein.

Very historic!

Only people who work here are special. They park on a bicycle and wheelchair walkway, so people with wheelchairs and bikers have to pass on the road because they are not important enough. It's been happening since forever, and nobody cares.

Beautiful well maintained historical building worth a visit when you find yourself in Bloemfontein, you can enjoy the supreme court of appeal right next to it as well as the Fourth Raadsdaal historical masterpiece and the president museum next the the court.

Hub of Mangaung's political activity kept in her maiden architectural design.

Beautiful building, but terrain is littered

This our Heritage in Bloem and FS as whole.But what I can say People don't ever be angry and destroy our children's legacy.Now is beautiful again than last come and see.

One of the old buildings in Bloemfontein, used as a venue for various functions such as conferences, workshops, weddings and community social gatherings. The venue was also used by IEC (Independent Electoral Commission Of SA) as their Free State Provincial Results Operations Centre (ROC), during 2014 National AND Provincial Elections in South Africa.

Best Venue in the sentre of the city. For any function, conference,weddings, aniversaries, church services or graduations with dining halls and plennary rooms.
