Paying tribute to JRR Tolkien and his work, this boutique hotel is located near Bloemfontein’s centre and impresses with exquisite furnishings and a tranquil setting. Radiating a unique charm, Hobbit Boutique Hotel features a small number of luxurious rooms and suites. Start the day with a swim in the outdoor pool. Afterwards, you can dry on a lounger in the sun and read a newspaper before having breakfast. Antique furnishings and elements such as a fireplace in the lounge or fountain in the garden make Hobbit Hotel a tranquil retreat. Enjoy a stroll through the beautifully landscaped garden or study a book from the library in one of the window seats. The attentive staff is at your service 24-hours per day and happy to arrange a rental car, meeting or airport shuttle. Why not have a drink at the hotel bar after a long and active day? The restaurant is specialized in traditional South African meals, making for a delicious dinner.
