Rustic Forest was thé most beautiful guest house we have ever stayed in. From arrival till we left everything was perfect. The friendly welcome was warm and very informative. Ansie went out of her way to accommodate us on very short notice. The room was spotless and had everything one could need and much more. Comfortable bed, very clean and well equipped place to stay overnight and even for longer periods. The personal touches we appreciated, was the welcome snacks and the rusks that was in the room. I would recommend Ansie and her guest house to anybody needing a place to stay in Bloemfontein. Safe parking was an added bonus. In future it will be our first choice stay in Bloemfontein. Value for money and 5 star for sure.
There was nothing not to like.

Needing an overnight stop over in Bloemfontein, we chose Rustic Forest since it is on the edge of the suburbs and is in a quiet and peaceful area. The room itself is huge and modern with a well appointed kitchen area and a toilet/shower room. There is plenty of cupboard space and a very comfortable king-size bed. backup power had recently been installed, so no problems with load-shedding. We were delayed in our travels and only arrived after 21:00 and left by 8:00 the following morning so we didn't get time to fully appreciate the place. Even so, Rustic Forest is a place that I would be happy to stay at for a few days on any business trip.
The only gripe that I can think of is that the shower cold water is like a switch. It is very difficult to adjust the tap to give a comfortable water temperature. Not a train smash though and will not prevent us from staying here again.

Large spacious room with lovely finishes and decor. Kitchenette excellent with induction plate, kettle, microwave and small fridge. Delicious complimentary rusk. Most of the facilities are off-grid, thus minimizing the impact of loadshedding. Secure off-street parking. Really a wonderful stay and highly recommended.

The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Just the way I wanted it prepared, without me even having to consult with staff. Almost like the staff knew me before I even stepped foot into the establishment.
Nothing.

Very helpful and friendly host. The unit had everything you could possibly need and very comfortable.
Maybe a bit more space but only because we were travelling overseas and had bulky luggage.

Beautifullly decorated, comfortable room. Exceptionally clean and has all the amenities one could wish for.
Quite a drive from the N1, but worth it!

A very neat establishment with a friendly host. It was easy to find and the unit had everything to make it comfortable and to cook a meal. Solar power to make you forget load-shedding.
