Excellent accommodation.

If you are looking for a home away from home, a place where you are treated as family, look no further than Mountain Gem. Liesel and Pries were the perfect hosts and catered to our every need. The place was beautiful, super clean and well looked after. The breakfast offered was a 5 star feast. Our hosts did an exceptional job in making sure that we were comfortable. Definitely deserving of the very highest review scores. Will definitely recommend the place to friends and family. Thank you Liesel and Pries for an awesome stay.

Dit was amazing om te sien dat daar nog mense in ons land is wat goeie diens lewer.

Ek het 'n groot blaps gemaak met die bespreking en het die datums verkeerd ingesit vir 'n week later. Johan en Liesel van Mountain Gem het, alhoewel ons na-ure eers daar opgedaag het, ons met oop arms ontvang. Na 'n lang, harde dag was dit 'n groot verligting dat hulle ons kon akkommodeer. Die kamer is lieflik skoon en die bed het soos 'n droom geslaap. Dankie julle vir julle gasvryheid.

It was amazing to see that there are still people in our country who provide good service.

I made a big mistake with the reservation and put the dates wrong for a week later. Johan and Liesel from Mountain Gem, even though we only arrived after hours, welcomed us with open arms. After a long, hard day it was a great relief that they could accommodate us. The room is lovely clean and the bed slept like a dream. Thank you for your hospitality.

Een woord, uitstekend.

Dit was die beste ondervinding in enige gastehuis in Suid Afrika ooit. Vooraf WhatsApp ontvang van eienaar, met regte aanwysings. Vriendelike verwelkoming, pragtige skoon gastehuis, genoeg elektriese proppe, gratis WiFi. Definitief my verblyf in Bloemfontein, nooit weer by enige ander plek.

Friendly, attentive hosts.

The accessibility to the room is a problem, as the steps there and a narrow passage to get to the room could be a problem for older guests.

Thank you for the great score and review Peter. You and Les are always welcome and we look forward to seeing you back again.
As for the stairs and passage, this is unfortunately unavoidable as we are located on a hillside. We do however mention in our fine writing section under house rules that we do not recommend the accommodation for the elderly, disabled or small children.

Gemaklik, rustig en baie lekker!!

Baie dankie Liesel ons het so lekker gebly in julle pragtige plek. Alles was net perfek. Ek het die tuin besonders geniet, en gevoel ek bly teen n berg in die bosveld. As ons weer kom toets ons bietjie die Boma en braai uit. Ontbyt was puik. Wel gedaan.

Thank you very much Liesel, we had such a nice stay in your beautiful place. Everything was just perfect. I particularly enjoyed the garden, and felt like I was living on a mountain in the forest. If we come again, we'll test out the Boma and barbecue. Breakfast was great. Well done.
