Warm hospitality awaits you at RubyRed Cottage. We offer comfortable self catering accommodation in Bayswater, (the Northern Suburb) of Bloemfontein. It is ideal for all travellers, conveniently situated near the N1. Northridge mall with a wide range of restaurants, Epic Cinemas, Mug & Bean, Dischem, Woolworths etc is situated within 2 km from us. Baysvillage Shopping Center with a variety of take-aways, restaurants, clicks, Spar, a Meat Market etc. is located 1,5km from us. We are near most schools and medi clinic. Guests can enjoy the whole unit, a private built in braai, safe underroof parking on the premises and free WiFi. Guests can access in front of the premises and park in front of the cottage.
We renovated and decorated the cottage ourselves. The idea was to create a space where guests can feel relaxed and at home. We love every little detail that we've put into this cottage and can say with pride that guests who stayed with us feel at home, relaxed and well rested when they check out.
RubyRed is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
