Liedjiesbos Bloemfontein 3.62

Our green mission.
Here at Liedjiesbos B&B we consider ourselves part of the environment, we understand that there are others who share our planet and so try our best to accommodate everyone.
There may be beautiful bird sounds early in the morning, a rooster or frogs late at night, you may hear the resident owls or see the odd spider. We won’t apologize for these natural noises but ask you to please enjoy them with us.

Most of our green food, flowers and fruit are grown on the premises. All our other supplies are sourced from within 200km from us – abiding by the policy of the Slow Food movement.
We use water sparingly and ask you to help us by putting your towels on the rail if they are clean enough to use another time or in the bathtub if you wish them to be replaced.

Please enjoy our indigenous garden, we are proudly South African when it comes to our environment and invite you to be inspired!
* Should you wish to join our green initiative, indigenous trees can be bought from us for R100 each, we will donate it to a needy school in the area.A small library is available in the living room section. Feel free so page through our beautiful books about food, architecture, travel and nature. Binoculars also available for the bird watchers! Liedjiesbos B&B is one of those rare finds that make you feel special – like you have discovered a secret. With this gem, just 3 kilometers outside Bloemfontein however, you will want to keep it all to yourself! The owners, Dawie Human and Henning de Bruin are passionate about making a difference in saving the environment that we live in and their efforts can be seen in every aspect of the business, the indigenous gardens, rain tanks, vegetable gardens and environmentally friendly home, architecturally designed by one of Bloemfontein’s top architect practices – Smit Architects. The owners have been inspired to plant and only indigenous plants, and to do things as organically as possible. This stretches to the accommodation, slow food ingredients for breakfast, bath products and supplies.The buildings on the property used to be unsightly barns that are now beautiful architectural structures blending harmoniously into the Free State landscape. The buildings where designed to use as little energy as possible for heating and cooling of the interiors and most of the original building materials where re-used or recycled. Energy saving devices and solar geysers where also installed to reduce the carbon footprint.
The interior of the main building reflects the owners’ love for art, antiques and travel. The décor is a blend of old and new, African, Egyptian, Chinese, Vietnamese and more. All this creates an interesting environment with a chic, yet well lived in, and comfortable feel.
Not only will you feel pampered and special at Liedjiesbos – it is also a convenient place to stay whether you are in the City of Roses for business or pleasure, or indeed just passing through. Conference centers, the city center, Loch Logan Waterfront, Mimosa Mall, hospitals, schools and universities as well as tourist attractions are all within a short drive.The five double rooms, are cozy with antique furniture giving a warm farm atmosphere, they are full of natural light with sliding doors onto the “stoep” ensuring beautiful views of the garden.
