Bloemfontein / Mangaung, Motheo Region, Free State

Liedjiesbos has a peaceful farm like atmosphere and is snugly situated just 3 kilometres outside Bloemfontein, the Free State’s capital. A ten minute drive will take you to all the major shopping centres, conference centres, the Loch Logan Waterfront, zoo and botanical gardens.

We offer you rest and tranquillity, in luxury, romantic accommodation. Here you can relax on the “stoep” while sipping on a drink or eating something delectable from our kitchen. Explore our grounds or stroll through our indigenous garden and nursery before resting your feet in a herbal footbath, watching the beautiful Free State sunset…

Come unwind, lounge in the sun and experience true Free State hospitality. The owners of this property are passionate about making a difference in saving the environment that we live in. This way of thinking inspired us to plant and sell only indigenous plants, and to do things as organic as we possibly can. We started planting hundreds of indigenous trees and shrubs in 2008 and will continue doing so all the time. What used to be agricultural land will eventually be an indigenous bush that will be home to many species of birds, insects and other small animals. From there the name Liedjiesbos (happy songs coming from inside the bush). The call of nature will be heard again!

The buildings on the property used to be unsightly barns that was turned into something more functional for our needs and are now beautiful architectural structures that blends well into the 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 our 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.

Letsatsi: (sun) As the name suggests, this room is sunny and full of  light as huge windows floods the room with natural light and heats it up during our cold winter days. The sliding doors gives you access to the “stoep” and also insures beautiful views of the garden.

Kgwedi: (moon) This room is on the “quite” side of the house and has a private patio where one can relax with a glass of wine or read a book undisturbed. The room is cosy and the antique furniture gives it a warm farm like atmosphere.
