Blessful escape from busy city life.

Melanie was super helpful to show us our room. The room we stayed in is grand, the bed is King size with luxury white bedding you get in high-end hotels, finishes in the bathroom and kitchenette is modern with stoneware, aircon to regulate temperature through the night. We slept really well.

For dinner we were recommended to order in from a close by restuarant (Mama Sol) which was a real treat. Generous portions, had ribs and chips. Classic South African cuisine.

The surrounding setting is like a lodge on a game farm. There are lots of bucks (zebras, impalas? Domestic animals, donkeys). We're about to go have breakfast, which I don't doubt will also be great from other reviews and overlooking the farm.

Excellent place.

Very good place. Has a generator and so load shedding do not affect the facility.
The manager was an exceptionally nice lady who takes care of all guests.

friendly and helpful reception. Nice and secluded location and great stop over in Bloemfontein. Slightly away from town which may or may not an advantage, depending on what one is looking for.

It is located in a beautiful area yet only minutes from the city. Everyone treated us more like family than guests. My wife and I will stay there again in any future trips to Bloemfontein.

Most Amazing Place I ever!!!!!!

What an amazing place to stay. The rooms are like 5 star. Stunning and very modern. Amanda is such an awesome host. Even with a full house she still finds time for special attention for her guests. She made us feel at home with her warm personality and spoils. She even took us on field trip to meet Zola & Toks (2 Donkeys). I fell in love with Blue Rain and will never opt for any other guest house in Bloemfontein. You guys know what you are doing and keep up the 5 star treatment.
