No complaints, however breakfast was very basic. More effort should be put into that department.

Rustige oornagplekkie.

Thorn Tree Lodge is 'n heerlike oornag stop Noord van Bloemfontein. Heerlik stil na al die gewoel en besige pad. Kamers lekker groot en gerieflik. Dollie bereid om die ekstra myl te gaan en reg te staan met 'n stewige ontbyt voor die nuwe dag se lang pad.

Quiet place to stay overnight.

Thorn Tree Lodge is a lovely overnight stop North of Bloemfontein. Wonderfully quiet after all the hustle and bustle of the busy road. Rooms nice and big and comfortable. Dollie willing to go the extra mile and get ready with a hearty breakfast before the new day's long drive.

Eenheid baie skoon en netjies. Vrygewig t.o.v koffie en melk-voorraad. Eienaar baie gasvry.

As 'n Gautenger was ek bekommered oor veiligheid en sekuriteit. Die kamers is geleë op 'n mooi plot net buite Bloem. Daar is geen heining of eens 'n hek om die eiendom nie. Daar is vry toegang vanaf die pad vir enigiemand om tot by die karre en die kamers te kom.

Unit very clean and tidy. Generous in relation to coffee and milk supply. Owner very hospitable.

As a Gautenger, I was concerned about safety and security. The rooms are located on a nice plot just outside Bloem. There is no fence or even a gate around the property. There is free access from the road for anyone to get to the cars and the rooms.

Heerlike oornagverblyf uit die stad.

Thorn Tree Lodge is 'n gerieflike oornag stop net buite Bloemfontein. Mens voel sommer of jy iewers in die bos kuier. Magda is vreeslik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons was nie bewus dat ontbyt ingesluit is by verblyf nie, en dit was 'n lekker verrassing. Die kamer is goed ingerig en die bed is heerlik gemaklik.

Great overnight stay out of the city.

Thorn Tree Lodge is a convenient overnight stop just outside Bloemfontein. You just feel like you are visiting somewhere in the woods. Magda is extremely friendly and helpful. We were not aware that breakfast was included in the stay, and it was a nice surprise. The room is well furnished and the bed is wonderfully comfortable.

Nie aan verwagtinge voldoen nie.

Alhoewel die bestuur probeer om die standaard op te hou dink ek die ligging van die "lodge" is die grootste probleem. Die onderhoud laat veel te wense oor. Stortvloer nie op standaard nie. Toiletpapierhouer los en hang skeef. Rook van naburige gaste kan duidelik in kamer geruik word.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Not meeting expectations.

Although the management tries to keep the standard up I think the location of the "lodge" is the biggest problem. The interview leaves a lot to be desired. Shower floor not up to standard. Toilet paper holder loose and hanging askew. Smoke from neighboring guests can be clearly smelled in room.

Restful!

Was very disappointed when we got there as it was not what we expected. The hostess's kindness did brighten up the place. Thank you Dollie for your helpfulness and kindness.

Awesome.

Dolly was van die begin af ongelooflik behulpsaam, sy het berge versit om aan al ons behoeftes te voorsien. Ek sal en kan haar enige tyd aanbeveel.

Awesome.

Dolly was unbelievably helpful right from the start. She moved mountains to meet all of our needs. I would recommend her any time.

Vriendelike ontvangs met gesellige gasvrou, netjiese, veilige verblyf.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou, Dollie, wat ons en ons 2 honde welkom laat voel het. Sy het deurentyd kom sekermaak dat ons alles het wat ons sou nodig hê. Sy het gesien ons is diereliefhebbers en het haar 2 klein hondjies aan ons kom voorstel, ook sodat hulle kan sosialiseer met ons eie honde. Die verblyf was netjies en die ou hout-huisie was 'n uitsonderlike alternatief tot 'n normale chalet. Die gronde was so goed onderhou dat mens kon kaalvoet rondloop ondanks die doringbome wat daar groei.

Friendly reception, lovely host, neat, safe accommodation.

Friendly reception from the host, Dollie, she made us and our 2 doggies feel at home. Made sure throughout that we had everything we needed. She saw we were animal lovers so she introduced her 2 little dogs to us, also to let them socialize with our dogs. Neat accommodation and the old little cabin was a unique alternative to a normal chalet. Grounds are in a great condition we were able to walk bare foot despite the thorn trees growing there.

Onveilig gevoel en die huisie is baie verwaarloos.

Met aankoms was daar vuil skottelgoedwater nog in die wasbakke, ander gaste moes eetgerei in ons eenheid kom haal en die muskiete was in oorvloed. Ons het onveilig gevoel aangesien dit baie afgeleë is.

Unsafe feeling and the cottage is very neglected.

Upon arrival there was still dirty dish water in the sinks, other guests had to come and collect cutlery from our unit and the mosquitoes were plentiful. We felt unsafe as it is very remote.

It is very quiet, away from the city noise.

The place is hard to find though. There aren't really any signposts that are clear and easily visible. The place is also far from the city but for a break from the city it is ideal. It is also very convenient for people with horses and animals.

Rustige omgewing met baie vriendelike diens.

Ek het baie lekker by Thorn Tree Lodge gebly. As jy daarvan hou om buite die stad te bly en genoeg spasie soek vir troeteldiere is dit die ideale blyplek. Volledige toegeruste kombuis, eetkamer en sitkamer bykomend tot slaapkamers, en 'n gasvrou wat uit haar pad uit gaan om seker te maak jy is gelukkig.

Quiet environment with very friendly service.

I really enjoyed my stay at Thorn Tree Lodge. If you like to live outside the city and are looking for enough space for pets, this is the ideal place to stay. Fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room in addition to bedrooms, and a hostess who goes out of her way to make sure you are happy.

Dis netjies, skoon en baie gerieflik ingerig.

Dit is egter 'n entjie uit Bloemfontein en moeilik om te kry, wat dit nie gerieflik maak vir oornagverblyf nie. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het met twee groot honde gereis en hulle was bereid om ons te akkommodeer.

This review is being shown in its original language.

It's neat, clean and very comfortably furnished.

However, it is a bit out of Bloemfontein and difficult to get to, which makes it not convenient for overnight stays. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We traveled with two large dogs and they were willing to accommodate us.

Ons gaan gereeld Kaap toe en sal definitief weer hier oornag. Die plek is ingerig met meer as wat nodig is. Baie mooi en baie gasvry. Definitief troeteldier vriendelik. Baie lekker plaasatmosfeer weg van die stad. Ons was baie tevrede.

Dit is nog nuut, daar is nog 'n paar dinge wat moet gebeur. Baie potensiaal. Net nogal ver uit die dorp uit.

Gawe eienares. Daar was 'n paar items in die yskas wat dit laat lyk het of daar moontlik soms iemand in die eenheid bly. Die kamers en linne is heerlik. Mooi badkamer.
