    The only thing we found is that the bed was hard compared to our bed at home. Rather have a harder bed than a very soft bed so it is not a complaint.

    The location was perfect for us as it was 5min away from where our daughter stayed. Superb area of Bloemfontein with a wonderful shopping centre called Northridge mall close by. Liesel and Pries are such amazing hosts and everything was wonderful

    Liesel was an EXCEPTIONAL hostess. All the "ins and outs" of staying there were sent to us timeously via WhatsApp. We were greeted on our arrival by Liesel (ably assisted by two beautiful cross "Shih Tzu/Yorkies" (we LOVE dogs so that was a wonderful bonus for us!) Our accommodation was absolutely perfect - and we SO appreciated the complimentary bottles of water, cool drinks and chocolate which we found in our refrigerator. The beautiful "forest-like" setting was an additional bonus and the only "noise" was the cheery chirping of the birds in the trees! We will DEFINITELY return.

    It is truly a gem. We loved the setting in the magical garden and the lovely hosts. It was wonderfull to have an aircon during a bad heatwave. We will definitely be back.

    I don't have anything I can put under the "I did not like list" for Mountain Gem

    The very friendly and welcoming Liesel and her husband was the perfect hosts. waiting for me to arrive and greeted me with the key on arrival and gave me a walk through the accommodation and discussed some options for dinner nearby. The room was perfect with everything I could need for the 2 nights of my stay. A quiet neighborhood, easy to find with shops and restaurants near by. Mountain Gem is surely on my list of top 3 stays I have had this year and I travel a lot. Look them up on your next stayover in Bloemfontein.

    We loved everything.

    The name says it all. It is most definitely a Gem and the prettiest place to stay. Pries(Johan) and Liesel are the most fantastic hosts. You arrive strangers and leave friends. The accommodation was exactly everything we needed with the added bonus of the most beautiful forested garden to enjoy. It was super clean, and very comfortable and Liesel spoilt us with strawberry cheesecake when we arrived that was to die for. We had our own little covered outdoor spot to sit and they even put out a table for us to eat at which was wonderful. We also got to enjoy seating at the top of the garden where we could watch the sunset over a cup of coffee. It was impossible to believe you were in a built up city. We would stay again in a heart beat and could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys so very much for a wonderful stay.
