363 guests' feedbackLovely overnight stay in a neat, clean room. Host very friendly, makes you feel at home. Dog friendly.
Very friendly reception. Good location and security very good.
Lovely owners. Nice and peaceful.
Very nice stay. We especially enjoyed the puppy that came to visit us.
Yes we did.
See stars.
The rooms are well equipped, neat and clean. Would definitely recommend Melsetters Gastehuis.
Slept well, clean and tidy. Just awful cheap coffee - ricoré.
We had a really nice stay. Hostess is friendly and very helpful.
It was pleasant and close to the hospital. Definitely recommend it.
Definitely had a nice stay.
Friendly, neat, affordable. Arrived late, went out of the way to let us check in. Will definitely recommend them.
We had a very nice stay. It was a terribly cold weekend in Bloemfontein, but we slept and stayed wonderfully warm. The accommodation is excellent value for money. The available hairdryer and iron was a bonus.
We were warmly welcomed by the host upon arrival and immediately felt at home. Would love to stay another night. Everything we needed was there. Room is beautifully furnished. We would definitely recommend and maybe we will visit again.
Stayed overnight for 6 nights due to sport. Slept hot, showered hot, and the room was cleaned every day. It is in a quiet, safe environment and feels like "home from home".
Fantastic stay, fantastic host!
Pleasant stay. Comfortable bed. Neat and clean.
Well received at arrival and enjoyed the overnight stay.
We had a great time.
We had a nice stay. We were just ladies with twins. It was nice and safe.
Very nice stay, and will definitely go again.
Very neat place. On the way to Cape I checked in and spent the night. I immediately booked there again for the overnight stay of my intended return route a week later through Bloem. It is rare to find such clean places. The first thing that usually happens to me when I stay in a place that is not neat and clean is that I start sneezing. In this little place there was no question of any substance. Very impressed, I would stay there again anytime and I highly recommend it to those who would consider it. Thanks and well done to the staff!
We just slept over and left early the next morning, but slept great. Will stay here again.
Friendly owner. Very good. Nicely appointed.
Good enough to stay. Everything needed is there.
We really enjoyed the place and had a really good time relaxing. It is located in a very peaceful and quiet area and we really felt very safe. Another bonus was the under shade net parking, which prevents the sun from baking the vehicle hot. Very safe parking. The places are really well equipped, some of the very best we have ever used. Big bonus is also the fact that they installed solar and we were not bothered by load shedding at all. Thanks again, you guys have a great place and would recommend it as much as we can.
We had a very nice stay. The neighborhood is also very quiet.
We had a great stay!
Everything was great, the bath was the best.
I had such a nice stay. Everyone was nice and friendly. It is very safe and easy to get there. It was really pleasant.
Melsetter's is exceptionally pet friendly and great value for money.
Good and comfortable facilities. The hospitality made me feel right at home. Thank you very much!
Very nice stay, all the information given, peaceful sleep.
Comfortable, clean, a great little enclosed area for my dog. Perfect overnight stop for our trip.
Arthur was friendly and helpful.
Stay incredibly quiet and clean. Hostess very friendly and helpful.
Very nice stay. Neat and safe. Value for money.
Very neat and safe.
Great, great and great again. No load shedding and very good WiFi. Quiet atmosphere and very neat.
Very peaceful environment and good facilities. The people of the property are very friendly. The room is very well organized and makes it very easy to spend the night there. It is very rare that overnight facilities have an appliance, toiletries, TV access and kitchen facilities all in one space. Will definitely use this site again.
Neat, safe and the most delicious biscuit! Very nice stay.
Very friendly. My woofies and I felt very much at home.
We had a great time. Was received kindly and everything was clean and tidy. Secure parking. Value for money.
Our second time staying at Melsetter's Guesthouse and it was a pleasure. As before, we were kindly received, it is clean and tidy and there is now also solar installed.
Beautiful place, neat and clean. Will definitely stay there again if I have to visit Bloemfontein.
Very neat and beautiful place. There is everything you need, in a peaceful, safe environment. Beautiful garden with silver clean pool.
I went to Bloemfontein on business and had to sleep over. Very friendly hostess. Room and bathroom were very clean and tidy. My car was also 'sleeping' safely.
See stars.
Well received and stayed.
It was as expected.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It was lovely to have an air-conditioned unit in this heatwave.
Very nice. Very clean and you get what is advertised.
Very friendly welcome and slept well.
Stay was excellent and host made us feel at home soon.
Very nice stay. We were kindly received by an employee of Melsetter, but the lady did not introduce herself or explain everything fully. Melsetter is listed as 'B&B or self-catering accommodation', but when I inquired with the owner, I was told that breakfast was not an option; there were indeed 3 biscuits in each room. The rooms were serviced the next morning, but the biscuits were not replaced/replenished. Coffee, milk and sugar were available in the room.
Very nice stay, will use the guest house again.
Both times we stayed there we were very satisfied. Thank you very much, Martie.
Melsetter asked us about 3 days before arrival if we would mind using another guest house opposite them because they had a problem. I suspect that it is also under their control. No problem - the new guest house was excellent.
Yes very much, people are friendly.
Very nice stay, friendly service!
We stayed in room 3, which had everything we needed and promised, such as a hairdryer, WiFi, DStv, clean and tidy. The room is also nice and spacious, with air conditioning. My only criticism is the very tight parking spaces, which will obviously only be a challenge at times when the entire guest house is fully booked. Also the fact that the gate car is out of order, and the parking was therefore technically not safe.
Comfortable stay. Room was freshened up every day with fresh towels.
Everything was nice. Parking was an issue at one point but the owners have sorted it out. The room we stayed in doesn't look like the pictures, but it was fine.
As this was the first B&B we've used in Bloemfontein, we were really pleased to find an overnight stay to break the long west coast to east coast journey.
The reception was not as good as expected. Parking is somewhat of a problem.
It was good thank you.
We had a pleasant overnight stay, however we did find the sleeping arrangements a bit cramped with a double bed, bunk beds, and a single bed all in one room. The beds, however, were comfortable. Next time we will book 2 separate units.
Great place to stay over on a long trip back for the coast. But definitely worth it. Had a good stay, very neat place. Will definitely recommend.
Owners were super friendly. We had number 6 which had direct access to the pool and Braai area. Super clean, everything I would have expected. Would also recommend this unit for business travellers as there was a desk to work at and fully self-catering. Would definitely stay again.
Loved my stay! Great.
Super amazing awesome.
A great de-packing and rest after a long journey. We wanted to check in again on our way back, but were unfortunately fully booked. Melsetter's is a definite place to remember for next time. Your friendly service and welcome was great.
We had a great stay! Very friendly service.
Fantastic, clean, big and everything we needed for our overnight stay! Excellent guest husband and wife who received us. Would 100% recommend.
Beautiful place. Owners are very friendly and hospitable. Room was just as beautiful as in photo and extremely clean and tidy. The owner also spoiled with delicious home-baked rusks. Will definitely visit there again.
Nice stay. We were received hospitably and the host and lady were friendly and very helpful - they also made a baby cot available for my daughter (we were six and a half people; my daughter and her husband with their baby (almost 1 year), and the two grandmothers and two grandfathers).
Very nice. Would have stayed another night or checked in earlier.
We stayed overnight and it was great.
We booked an overnight stay - Bloemfontein being a convenient distance between East London and Pretoria. Melsetter's is a short drive from the N1. Very good restaurants are nearby. The room was clean and comfortable. The hosts are friendly and met us on arrival.
Melsetter's welcomed us with open arms, along with our Bull Terrier without any problems. We had a separate yard for the dog and we didn't need to keep her away from other people all the time. I requested to book earlier due to travel plans and they helped us book earlier without any mishap. I would anytime recommend Melsetter's to those traveling with dogs, looking for a family and pet friendly environment and a good night's rest.
Had a great stay and would recommend to everyone.
Everything you need to spend the night and to quickly make breakfast the next morning. Clean, tidy and friendly reception. Had a great sleep.
Thank you very much, we enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely stay here again.
Holiday at West Coast and stayed over at Bloemfontein.
Very friendly owners and helpful with early pick up of keys and follow up service with invoice etc.
Everything you need, neat and clean.
Everything and more that one needs for a good night's rest. Slept well, felt safe and everything was clean. Located in a very nice area. Thank you again for a very nice stay.
Comfortable and the children were also accommodated with ease.
Friendly reception. Feeling at home and comfortable.
Accommodation was spacious, comfortable and clean. We only stayed one night. This was our halfway stop between George and Pretoria.
Slept well, very quiet.
Amenities were extremely neat. We will definitely use the accommodation again. Sorry for the long wait, but here in Hermanus we were without power, water, internet, any phone or radio reception.
Was able to relax after long day of lectures. Will book here again next year. Thank you very much.
We were warmly received to point out our secure parking and although we did not meet Margaret at reception she was "hands-on" throughout the evening to eliminate possible inconveniences. Lovely unit with everything to ensure your comfort and a bonus is that you can absolutely relax without having to plan around the power situation due to the solar power installed.
Friendly welcome, neat and tidy. Close to town and amenities. Very quiet and safe neighbourhood.
We once again enjoyed the overnight stay at Melsetter's where the hostess, Margaret, received us warmly. Everything worked well and we could rest wonderfully.
My partner and I were there for work. The guest house is perfect and has everything one needs for work or pleasure! Thank you very much!
Our woof had no place outside to play without being on a leash. Place is not really for dogs. The microwave doesn't work so unfortunately we wasted food that we bought but couldn't heat. Apart from that, it's a very nice place!
Is from Vryheid on the way to Paarl, decided to sleep over in Bloem and drive on the next day.
Friendly welcome, nice and warm, even in cold Bloemfontein. Clean, tidy, everything needed — very pleasant stay.
The reception was friendly and helpful. Room with own private bathroom is neat and well equipped. Despite the weather bureau predicting a -1 temperature, the room was very nice and warm and so were the bedding. No load shedding was experienced because the place is equipped with solar power. Thank you very much again.
We were looking for a place for 5 people (2 adults and 3 children) to sleep over between the Kruger National Park and Cape Town. Melsetter's Guest House met all our requirements. The guest house was clean and tidy with good security. The free wifi and resistance to load shedding (inverter and gas stove) were welcome bonuses. We can recommend Melsetter's Gastehuis as a good place to stop on the long road between Cape Town and the old Transvaal. Good value for money.
Rooms serviced daily. Best complimentary home-made rusks. Electric blanket was a lifesaver for Bloem's winter. Solar power - no loadshedding. Free wifi. Extra camp bed provided for the unexpected visitor on last night (at no charge). Value for money!
I could also bring my dog with me. Will definitely stay there again when I'm in Bloem.
Friendly welcome and would recommend.
Was very pleasant. Waiting at the gate, showing everything. Thank you.
Very professional and neat. Have a good rest!
As a family, we arrived at Melsetters early (before check-in time) after a long day's travel. We were quickly invited in and could immediately enter our room. We stayed nice and quiet, had a good night's rest and were on the road home (Cape) early again (4:00). It is a very nice and comfortable place to sleep with more than enough space for our family of 5.
Nice homely atmosphere.
We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely come again!
Clean and tidy. Well located. Owner makes a lot of effort to satisfy guests.
Nice clean and highly recommended.
See stars.
See stars.
The room is well-equipped with everything you need for your stay. The room also has a private bathroom with a bath and shower. The bed was also very comfortable. We also had a delicious breakfast early the next morning before heading back home.
The agent was really very friendly and helpful, even though we arrived very late. Thank you very much!
It is located near the N1 highway. Received a friendly welcome and slept well.
Loved the little details added. There is a personal touch to the place. It is very clean and neat. Very inviting. When loadshedding starts they have a back-up plan.
We were greeted on our arrival and were made to feel right at home. Everything was so welcoming after a long drive from George. Thank you. We'll definitely recommend that people stay here.
Very friendly and nice place to sleep.
Extremely neat environment; very comfortable room with everything needed. Margaret is very engaging and hospitable. She immediately made us feel at home. She is a very considerate hostess when it comes to the comfort of her guests. I can't imagine that we could have been received better or that there could be better guest houses in Bloemfontein. Oh yes, and the rusk was top notch.
Clean with everything you need.
Compliments for the beautiful garden and clean pool. Room has everything you need for an overnight stay. Wifi not used but is available. Neat and clean and nice big bathroom. We will definitely stay there again. Owner also upgrading to cope with load shedding.
Very comfortable experience.
Thank you for so much comfort, and we will definitely stay at your beautiful guest house again.
We had a very nice stay.
We were received kindly and everything in our room was neat and clean.
We traveled with 2 cars and a trailer, as well as a 3 month baby. The hostess accommodated us with a baby bath and we had privacy, adequate space, clean and convenient facilities and bedding very comfortable.
I sent all my family and friends the details. The uncle and aunt have an amazing place.
Unit was tidy and guest house has solar panels. Unfortunately some guests arrived after nine in the evening and were very noisy until after midnight with no caretaker in sight.
Clean, tidy and spacious accommodation.
The hostess received us kindly. The room and en-suite bathroom were neat and comfortable. Secure parking for vehicle behind locked gate.
Everything was neat and clean. The fresh milk and biscuits were a pleasant surprise.
Clean, comfortable and pleasant overnight stay.
The small fridge in the room was silent and did not turn on and off. The going on and off at other guesthouses bothers more than the noise at night. The solar system is a big plus. The water in the taps was purified.
Well located near N1. Several restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Arthur received us and explained everything. Safe and very quiet area. Will use again.
The hair dryer in the unit was a bonus. Just struggled with the TV, DStv might be considered.
The room is very well furnished and comfortable, an ideal place to spend the night.
Als was great, only stayed 1 night.
Thanks to Margaret!
The shower does not work at all during load shedding, i.e. no water. Otherwise it was very nice.
Very safe accommodation, clean and well equipped.
Clean, neat and cosy with a warm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it.
Will definitely use them again. Safe and beautiful area.
Went to buy other coffee instead of Ricoffy. Air conditioner was very welcome. Is there parking at the rooms not allocated to us?
Apart from the gate not working it was ok.
Had a great sleepover on the way to Nelspruit.
Everything ok, accommodation clean and tidy.
Nice stay. Perfect for sleepovers with animals.
More equipped than expected, thank you. Nice comfortable beds, thank you very much.
I would just recommend that 2 ply toilet paper be provided. And to mention that the fridge in room 7 where we slept is noisy.
It was raining and we could not find the address. After a phone call, the guest house owner met us along the way.
Basic overnight room. Felt safe, but there are better places to stay for the same cost per night.
Loved that there was a back up system when there was load shedding.
We were put on another site in an apartment at the back of the yard, as all the rooms were booked. This apartment was clean and tidy. The access to the apartment was difficult as it was at the back of the yard and we had to ask for the vehicles to move in front to get in and out. The owner of Melsetter's Guesthouse was very helpful and friendly.
Very good stay. Friendly and hospitable.
Quite a few turns from N1 to the guest house. Grateful for GPS on my phone! Neat and everything we needed. Bathroom very small.
I booked room 5 and we were placed in room 6. The room is very neat and well furnished but the fridge did not work at all and when I wanted to put on a TV program for the children the Netflix/Showmax did not work. When we asked the owner about it, she said that unfortunately it doesn't work in the room where we were placed. She offered to move us but our things were already unpacked in that room. There is also only a wooden door between us and the room next to us and the people were terribly noisy until about midnight. We have small children who had trouble sleeping as a result and we also couldn't rest terribly before our further journey.
If you have a dog on the premises, they may need to check occasionally to keep clean at all times. The Woof is super cute over and over, but buns are not. The manager who thinks to smoke near and in the rooms is really inappropriate. I thought the mop they used was dirty, but when I saw how half the dishes were washed or should I say stored just as dirty, then I understood a lot more. Braai facilities are there, but there is not a single braai tong that was clean, and we had to request that it be provided. It was definitely not a pleasant stay. The rooms are extremely small and not at all as shown in the photo, and our room was intended for many more people than there were. The "bunk" beds are not bunk beds either, but two single beds placed on top of each other, so you can't turn around, then you'll get hurt. There is no space, although in the photos the site looks large. The neighbours' children shout and make noise all day, and there is work and noise. Definitely not suitable for a weekend visitor. And the parking was sickly very limited because the owner's immediate family came to visit. How is this guest's problem? I would not recommend the apartment to anyone.
Very nice stay. Would recommend the place anytime.
Neat garden and braai facilities.
Very friendly service, beautiful rooms and well located. Will stay there again for sure. Well located and safe.
Friendly service, very tidy and well located. Would recommend to anyone.
Great service. Very clean.
Nice garden setting. Clean, neat. Quiet suburb. Friendly host.
See stars.
Would recommend the guest house anytime. Thank you Margret for all your support.
A very comfortable and well-equipped accommodation.
So beautiful, clean and tidy and very friendly hosts. Was a pleasure to stay overnight, would do again anytime!
The guest house put our interests above theirs. Genuinely appreciate the effort. Will definitely visit again.
Thank you very much for the wonderful stay, was received friendly and hospitable. Clean, tidy and unit was equipped with everything we needed. Secure area and parking. Thank you.
Everything was right and in place as we requested. There was even chocolate for the children. We had a very nice stay. Thank you!
Good value for money. Very clean.
Friendly welcome. Quiet residential area. Close to parkrun.
Ons het heerlik gekuier. Baie netjies en vriendelike diens. Ons sal beslis weer hier oorslaap.
Friendly service. Go the extra mile.
Stayed here for a second time. Always nice.
The kindness with which host Arthur received us was a welcome relief after the long drive. He also made sure that he got all the information we would need clearly. The apartment is very neat and also very well equipped, good value for money. We would stay there again anytime.
The people were very friendly and there was everything and more that one needed.
Parking was secure. The room was neat, clean and tidy and the en-suite shower was easy accessible. All basic needs were available plus a few extras!
Effort was made with us, thank you! The owner was friendly!
Guesthouse very tidy and we were received kindly. Will definitely visit the guest house again!
Nice place, rooms and bathrooms are beautiful. Secure parking. Pillows are a bonus. Would stay there again anytime.
Very neat, comfortable clean accommodation. We had a very good reception and Margaret went out of her way to make it comfortable. Will recommend it anytime.
The place is very safe, tidy and people welcomed us kindly! Would definitely recommend.
We could also use the pool. Smokers must smoke outside.
Friendly hostess. Always go back.
Quiet, clean and comfortable rooms, well equipped and private.
Vriendelike diens! Skoon en lieflike plek soos die laaste keer wat ons daar was.
Sleeping on a strange bed in a strange city with a busy schedule doesn't always let me relax and sleep peacefully. At Malsetter's Guest Rooms we received so much more than we paid for. The kindness of Margaret and Boytjie made us feel so at home. A quality mattress is always the most important to me next to cleanliness. We received both and so much more beautiful to the eye. Thank you for a wonderful night's rest and excellent service. We will definitely stop by again.
Everything was clean, tidy and the owner was friendly and concerned.
We travel every year in December with our young kids and teenager since 2008 and always stay over in Bloem on our way home. This guest house was the absolute best one we have ever stayed at. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, the rooms were amazing and the facilities were great. We normally leave around 7am in the morning from a stay over, but we were so relaxed and enjoying the guesthouse so much, that we only left just before 9am. It's definitely a great experience and the hosts really go out of their way to make you feel like you are at home away from home. There was open WiFi, DStv, Netflix and Showmax. And the hosts recommended an amazing restaurant which is family friendly and just 3km from the guesthouse, called Copper Clover. Wow wow wow, just amazing atmosphere and food. This guesthouse will now be the only one we stay at in Bloem. We absolutely loved it! I told my husband that I would drive to Bloem for a weekend, just to have another stay over at the guesthouse.
Beautiful pool and close to restaurants. The place was very neat and had everything we needed.
The surroundings are peaceful and the rooms are very well furnished. It is located in a good neighborhood.
Very neat and tidy, was very pleasant. Would stop there again if it's on my route to my destination for sure.
Room luxurious and really very clean and tidy. Friendly host and very helpful. Easy access to and from the N1.
We were 5 persons who slept over. The rooms were beautiful and so nicely decorated! Everything was clean, tidy and extremely comfortable. It was the first place of our holiday where everything was in abundance ─ coffee, tea, milk, the most delicious biscuits and more chocolate too. Thank you very much Arthur! You were so hospitable and are a wonderful manager who makes everything convenient for guests. This is really a gem in Bloemfontein!
There was also a nice pool to cool off in after the long drive. Room also had nice air conditioning and a nice big shower to wash off the dust.
Very neat and clean and well equipped, but difficult to sleep with noise every now and then. 02:20 in the morning hours woken up by people loudly greeting each other outside - quite disturbing when you know there is a long road ahead in the morning.
Excellent value for money.
Very good value for money, very well equipped (lovely big fridge if you are travelling with frozen goods) and comfortable, clean bed. I am fussy about my pillow though, so in the future I will take my own. But all round, a very comfortable stay, thank you.
Als was pleasant, from booking on the app, until we arrived. Everything was in order and the reception was friendly and hospitable. Good value for money and definitely recommendable.
I have stayed here before and definitely will again.
The room we had, had only one chair.
7 of us were on a bike race and spent the night here after the race. Margaret was very friendly and accommodated us even though we were an extra person, they also soon helped with an extra bed. We had a great stay and I will remember Melsetters for my next overnight stay in Bloemfontein.
Reception by the reception officer was excellent and immediately made us feel at home and he immediately oriented us on what was in the area, very helpful and friendly.
They provide biscuits and milk, which are delicious. And they specially let us check in after 10pm.
Friendly reception, clean and tidy, everything provided that is needed.
I would recommend anyone to sleep over there. Amenities are neat and everything one needs. Friendly and helpful owner.
Magriet and her team were very hospitable upon our arrival. Will definitely book with Melsetter's again.
It was a lovely place to stay. Nice warm blankets on the beds. Owners available immediately if a problem arises. Biscuit home-baked and delicious! Thank you very much for your hospitality!
The aircon was a plus and much appreciated, not many guesthouses in Bloem have it.
Was first class. Thank you very much.
Wash only 1 bath towel and 1 smaller towel for 2 persons. I'm not complaining, but can recommend that for each person 1 bath towel and 1 guest towel would be better.
Friendly reception. The only thing is the security gate that one has to unlock by hand and pushing open feels a bit unsafe to me in the evening.
Should be given the room you booked online and not wait in the street while others were given the option to view rooms including the one that i booked online.
Only complaint is water gutter in double bed room which makes a lot of noise during the evening.
Wonderful stay, quiet, peaceful environment and owners friendly and very helpful.
Will definitely stay there again.
Very helpful staff. The room was clean and comfortable.
Very neat and clean guest house, recommend for any family.
Very nice, will stay there again.
Enjoyed our stay here. Neat and tidy. Comfortable and friendly hosts.
It was only an overnight place for me, so it met my sleeping needs. I was on the road again the next morning at 5:00. It remains a "custom house" and so the "energy flow" and how everything is put together is not good for me personally. The tight parking space and the 6 point turn I had to do to get in was just not fun. Bathroom's shower is nice, that doesn't make it bad, just different. It's very different from my house, that's all, just different.
Quiet environment, had a good night's rest. Parking safe.
Attention should be paid to small things that are not working properly. No big problems.
Margaret thinks of every little thing. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. I was really impressed.
Conveniently located right next to the N1.
We had a very comfortable unit. Very neat with little extras like the KitKat and home-baked biscuits.
Even before our arrival, we received a WhatsApp message with the necessary information to reach and contact the guest house. Arthur, the manager, received us kindly and went out of his way to make us feel at home. Although we didn't book for dinner, he was willing to prepare a meal for us as most restaurants and eateries were closed. The room was excellently equipped and we each got a chocolate treat on our beds. It was clean and tidy with complete towel sets (bath/face) for each person as well as sufficient storage space for clothes. The fridge/freezer even had ice available. All information i. f. m. the guest house and unit were expressed and clearly visible in the unit, including WiFi passwords and TV functions e.g. Netflix. There was everything and more that a traveler could ask for. Many thanks to Arthur for making our stay outstanding. We will definitely see you again.
It was pleasant, will go again.
We slept very well, thank you very much!
Great service. Clean and tidy guest rooms. Well located. Fair rates.
Neat, safe and comfortable accommodation. No. 1 choice for sleeping over with your pet.
Very safe and quiet area. Very nice stay. Thank you for your friendliness.
Overslept for a wedding. It was very nice.
Was very tidy and has everything and more that you are looking for in the room.
This is truly a place where I will stay again.
Had a great stay @ Melsetter's.
The hostess spared no effort to make us feel at home. Meals were five star!
We had a very nice stay at Melsetter's Guest House. We will definitely go back again for more than one night next time. Hopefully we can get that nice biscuit recipe then too.
Awesome place to stay.
Melsetter is very comfortable self-catering accommodation in a safe neighborhood in Bloemfontein. Ample parking available. Margaret received us kindly. A chocolate bar made us feel special. Everything was clean and tidy. Kitchen provides for almost everything. Ideal stopover between Gauteng and the Cape.
Perfect for a self-catering unit. Everything one needs and more. Very friendly and nice service.
Margaret is an amazing hostess and makes the most delicious food. Everything was perfect.
The room is comfortably furnished with everything needed. Everything is neat and clean. Margaret is a friendly and lovable hostess. I would definitely recommend Melsetter's.
The room is very neat and it is perfectly furnished. Refrigerator, microwave, television and more. A wonderful hot shower after a long day on the long road is heavenly. Enjoyed delicious coffee in our room with the coffee and tea facilities and the rusks are top notch. Definitely our place to sleep for our next trip or even just for a nice visit in Bloemfontein. Thank you Melsetters Gastehuis for your wonderful hospitality. See you again soon!
Margaret and her staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The unit gets cleaned everyday, the staff washed our clothing without being asked/told which was a huge blessing as we were due to further our travels after 1 week stay at Melsetters. We enjoyed the home baked rusks with our coffee in the morning. Thank you for your friendliness.
Good quiet area and accessible.
Clean, tidy and friendly.
Margaret welcomed me very kindly and showed me everything and immediately made me feel very much at home. I was lucky in that I was invited to sit as a guest at the dinner with her family who were visiting her. I really appreciate it and will never forget it.
Clean and tidy. Friendly service. Just go to sleep there.
Perfect spot for an overnight stay in Bloemfontein with everything you need to relax and chill before hitting the road the next day.
Will definitely stay there again.
@Melsetters is very neat and clean. It had been a wonderful experience, we had a good rest and felt very safe. The owner is very friendly and helpful.
Fast WiFi for streaming and TV box was a plus.
It was very cute!
Loved our stay. Our host was very pro-active in communicating with us on our day of arrival, with all the relevant information. We stayed in the unit with a lovely corner bath which was the cherry on top. Very convenient location with many take away or eat out options close by.
See stars.
Had a school assembly.
Very comfortable accommodation. Good location.
Hostess makes you feel at home immediately. Everything in the room is very neat. Would definitely recommend it.

This is the ideal overnight facility for us. It is very convenient, affordable and neat. Safety is also an important factor and this guest house and surroundings create the feeling needed for a good night's rest.
The room was neat. There was hot water. I was pleasantly surprised to find cutlery in the room. We felt safe.
It's a very nice guest house if you have business in Bloemfontein, even just for an overnight stay on the way to your destination. It is very nice, effort is made with the rooms and no problems or difficulties. It's also in a very safe neighborhood.
I think the hole house offers everything one needs at a very reasonable price.
Good overnight place with braai and swimming facilities. Nice atmosphere and safe.
Margaret is a very nice hostess. We were a little early, but she accommodated us. The room is wonderfully equipped and clean. Nice stay.
Located a bit far from the airport, but otherwise great! Tidy. The owners really put in a lot of effort.
We found the room a bit small for what it had in it and would recommend it but mention that it was a bit of a tight squeeze.
Great overnight guest rooms. Staff very friendly. Near shopping center. Rooms very clean and tidy.
Parking a bit of a problem but not a issue.
Clean comfortable rooms. Shower cubicle quite small for an average person. Hand basin was blocked.
Hostess also very helpful. We were all very pleased. Good good good Very satisfied, neat.
The overnight stay was pleasant.
Room very clean and well-prepared, bed comfortable and warm, electric blankets fitted, tea, coffee and delicious rusks supplied. Bathroom spotless and plenty of hot water, complimentary soap, shampoo etc. supplied. Will definitely use this place again.
It was okay, except they complain even you laugh and say you're making a noise.
The owner went out of her way to make everything pleasant for us. Ideal for sleepovers.
@Melsetter's delivered value for money. I am satisfied with the cleanliness of the room and the customer service. It's not hard to find and I felt safe during my visit to @Melsetter's. Will be happy to visit again.
Excellent stay! From now on will only sleep there on the way to the sea! They went out of their way to accommodate us with the two babies, with an extra small bed (which my child talked about the whole holiday) and a cot. The accommodation is so thoughtful, with cold water, milk, a chocolate for each of us and dish soap in the bathroom for washing bottles late at night. We slept very well and appreciate everything so much.
Good accommodation and very friendly hospitality.
Very pleasant experience. Friendly host and the room was as advertised and more. The children enjoyed the Smart TV. Everything in place, from cleanliness to water pressure. Comfortable bed ensured a good night rest before we continued our journey early the next morning. Secured parking and safe area for early departure.
See stars.
Love the Showmax and Youtube that was available.
Sudden illness of my Mother. Margaret arranged everything to take care of her and get her to the hospital. She is an absolute angel. Don't know what I would do without her.
Everything and more that is needed
There was safe parking and was clean and tidy.
Just a convenient and safe place to stop overnight Thank you very much
Highly recommendable. Will use you again anytime.
Was kindly received. Very helpful and pleasant. Room is beautiful, clean and tidy! Very nice stay!
Already my second overnight stay at Melsetter Gastehuis. However, I miss Dstv (Channel 144 and sports channels), but for the price paid, perhaps that is too much to ask.
Very friendly welcome and a practical room.
The room was faultless. Aircon worked, bed was comfortable, shower was great. The host was really most gracious and we had a great conversation.
We had a great time.
Incredibly friendly and hospitable. Room was neat, spacious and comfortable. Definitely worth it and would definitely recommend the place.
Very friendly and good, modern quality accommodation.
A wonderful experience with hospitality, neat, clean and very accessible.
The parking was nice, but the guest house was very full.
We were met by the friendly owner and enjoyed staying in the well equipped unit.
Good, friendly service.
It was perfect for an overnight stay. Clean room. Nice bed. Everything in place.
We were in unit 5, which is a big unit. It met our needs very well. We were very kindly received and they responded well to the single problem that we had. Would love to stay there.
Host Margaret was nice, and a pleasure to deal. Accommodation was very good, comfortable bed. We didn't use tea, coffee, milk as provided only because we had an early departure.
The booking was done and dealt with quickly. The rooms were above expectations for the space.
The accommodation was neat and beautiful. Host is very friendly and helpful. Good value for money! Parking is behind a barred gate, but the sliding doors do not have theft protection. The crockery was a bit dirty and we had to wash it first.
There was a bit of embarrassment though as the driver wasn't expecting us. Fortunately, there was still room and we even got a more spacious unit.
If only they could have sport channels in their TV's, missed watching cricket on Saturday and on Friday I had to go out to town to watch it..
Lovely place to stay. Wonderful host and really neat set up. Highly recommended.
It is easy to reach from the N1 highway. The room has everything you need for just an overnight stay or to use as a base. It is safely located.
Good value for money.
There is only a sliding door that separates two of the rooms, which means that you hear the neighbors all the time.
Pity that there was no real space to eat. We had to sit on the bed without a table which made it a bit difficult.
We were received kindly and immediately felt at home. Close to shops and eateries.
Despite building work, the hostess moved us to a quiet comfortable room.
Very friendly people and very tidy. We had a great stay and highly recommend it.
A quiet atmosphere with friendly hosts.
Very nice stay, will definitely go back again. Just what I needed.
Quiet environment. Very friendly hostess.
Friendly service, neat rooms, will use Melsetter's again.
Really enjoyed our stay at Melsetters. Neat, quiet environment and safe.
It was so night and clean and hospitable. Neat etc. Would stay here again. Everything you need is provided. I was very satisfied, thanks.
They went out of their way to accommodate the children, they had a great time swimming and playing. We are definitely going back next year.
A braai casserole would be helpful. Otherwise, very neat and clean.
Very pleasant and well equipped units with air-conditioning.
We stayed for one night. The guesthouse owner was very nice, she made sure that we found the place in Bloemfontein. The rooms were tidy, well decorated and they made provisions for our young children. The pool is currently undergoing renovations (as of the 12 Dec 2019) but it looks like it should be completed soon. We were pleased to find that they had a smart TV-unit which had a high-speed internet connection for streaming videos. There were no dishcloths in the unit we were staying in so pack in your own. Parking was secure and it is in a nice-looking neighbourhood. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider @Melsetter's again.
Thanks you Margaret for you hospitality. See you again soon!
Was very well received, coffee and biscuits in room, even a welcome chocolate for everyone. It's those little things that make it special.
We stayed there during a rugby tour. The pool helped a lot to keep the kids busy. The free breakfast helps a family of 6 a lot. Thank you very, very much! We will definitely come again.
Felt right at home after a long trip from Worcester! The room is comfortable and meets the requirements for an overnight stay! Will use the facilities again in the future, if we need to sleep over.
Place is good except for insufficient parking.
Plans have been made to accommodate some of our guests at the last minute. Thank you very much.
Very convenient and clean. Definitely worth it and we will stay there again. The room, kitchen and bathroom are very spacious and comfortable!
Neat, comfortable and affordable overnight accommodation. The unit has a room, bathroom and small kitchen. Secure parking on site. The hostess is very helpful and friendly.
Only criticism is that the hot shower water was cold on the Saturday and Sunday morning.
Very nice stay. Everything was fine. Very pleasant hostess. Thank you Margaret and son for your help when the power was off in town.
The service was friendly, very nice stay.
We were only there for one day and the facilities are very good.
Neat and clean. Spacious room with coffee, tea and rusks. Fridge and equipped for elf-catering. Not trendy style. Was silent while we ere there, but if you get noisy neighbors it will bother you. Everything together. Fairly good value for money.
Friendly reception, room was neat and clean. Slept well and felt safe, as well as secure parking. Will stay there again.
Neat accommodation with everything needed to sleep over on a reasonable budget for many people. We wanted a place to sleep on the way home to break up the long drive. Mission accomplished.
We were kindly received. After that we had to sort out parking. Comfortable rooms and comfortable beds. We received guests one night and everything was made available to hold a braai for sixteen people - it was very friendly - thank you. Bathrooms require maintenance. Is a good stopover for a larger group and it's well located.
Welcomed with open arms. We could cool off in the swimming pool, it was lovely. The air-conditioning in the room ensured a great rest for the long road ahead the next day. Very hospitable, felt like we were home. Thanks so much.
We had a wonderful stay, everything was clean and tidy. The pool was a relief after the long road!
Above expectation! Comfortable and flexible! Felt very at home.
I would definitely stay here again. Margret and Zarlus are very friendly and go the extra mile for their guests. Very close to a well-equipped shopping center where you can buy everything you need. Melsetter's is a winner. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for a lovely overnight room with everything needed, especially after a long journey. A lovely warm bed and heater chased away the cold. A wonderful hostess who spoiled me wonderfully. Appreciate the reception and accommodation.
Excellent and great place to saddle up.
We were warmly welcomed in an exquisite place. We immediately felt at home. It's definitely going to be our choice if we come to Bloemfontein again.
Clean, safe and I lacked nothing. I will go back again.
Friendly and homey feeling. Safe and convenient.
Many thanks to the people there. It was a last minute reservation and although we arrived very early, the people were very friendly and looked after us. Many thanks to Margaret.
Thanks a lot for your hospitality! Thanks for all your help! We had a great stay.
Nice room with everything needed.
It would be great if the room could be more soundproof. One can hear everything that happens in the house, during my visit this included a screaming baby. Insulation around the door leading to the house will make a big difference.
Place soundproofing on the door that is between the living room and the kitchen. Friendly service on arrival with a clean room and crisp linen. Good value for money.
The room is well furnished. Extras such as fresh milk in the fridge, a hairdryer and electric blanket make it a good choice.
Everything was very nice, just wanted to watch the rugby. DStv would've been great but not big problem. Thank you for the nice rusks.
Very nice stay thank you.
There are some good things that stood out for me personally. Firstly the bed is more comfortable than I thought. Secondly, the Bible in the room made me feel at home. Thirdly the wash basin made of glass was extremely cool, never seen anything like that.
Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation, especially the linen and the bathroom setup. Will stay there again anytime.
