As you can see on their account, they said that they are a “pet-friendly”. Before we went to the property, I called them and I talked to a lady, informing that we have a “tea cup size dog”. And when we arrived at the property, they moved us in a smaller (to which we did not booked) and they charged us for a R100 for bringing a pet. But, as I checked their account, “you can bring pet with no extra charge”. They giving a misleading information. And the old man is very rude to my husband, the moment he saw my husband carrying our dog he says with a rude approach “so what you gonna do now, we do not allow pet! So what you gonna do?” Also, I think we are a victim of racism.

The roads needs some work but it is a great area and I am definitely going back for a longer stay next time. enjoyed my short stay there. Loved staying at Pure Clarens at Quillets and enjoyed horse-riding from the guys in front of Xtream adventures, those guys are amazing. big ups to them. We had dinner at Charlies restaurant and the staff were friendly and serviced us well. A delicious and filling breakfast was enjoyed at Castello, the staff there were also amazingly great and welcoming, the road to get there was bad though, Castello can at the very least pitch in on the road works and ensure their guests enjoy a drive to their establishment.

My stay in Bloemfontein was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, even though we were late. We were warmly welcomed and given the keys without any hassle.

Harrismith is an outstanding base for exploring this...

Harrismith is an outstanding base for exploring this beautiful corner of South Africa. Rather than constantly packing and unpacking as you move from place to place, you can settle in comfortably and enjoy a series of wonderful day trips to some of the Free State’s most spectacular destinations. The town sits in a perfect location, with easy access to the magnificent Drakensberg mountains, charming Free State towns, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park. One day you can be driving through Golden Gate’s dramatic sandstone cliffs and open grasslands, and the next you can be exploring the quiet rural towns that give the Free State its unique character and charm. What I particularly appreciated was being able to return each evening to the same comfortable accommodation rather than living out of a suitcase. After a day spent enjoying mountain scenery, scenic drives, hiking trails, or discovering local cafés and shops, it was a pleasure to come back, relax, and plan the next day’s adventure. The roads in the area are generally excellent, the scenery is stunning in every direction, and there is a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity that is becoming increasingly rare. Whether your interests are nature, photography, history, road-tripping, or simply experiencing small-town South African life, Harrismith provides an ideal and convenient base from which to explore. For travellers who enjoy slow travel and prefer to experience a region properly rather than rush through it, Harrismith is difficult to beat.

Fouriesburg is a fairly nice and somewhat typical "platteland" town, due to there being a lots of potholes in the streets and many of the streetlights do not work. A few nice places to eat and the town itself is not as commercialised as nearby Clarens.

I enjoyed the eateries and shops I went into.

I enjoyed the eateries and shops I went into. I would have changed my plans had I known in advance that Parys pretty much shuts down by 3 on a Sunday, until Tuesday. I found the town to be quite clean. It would have been good to have been able to access a comprehensive list of shops and food offerings (and closing times) in advance (my internet searches didn't provide that info). It is easy to navigate the town. Of course, the potholed road into the town is awful, but sadly, we're so accustomed to them in SA, that it's not surprising - albeit they are so very dangerous. I cancelled a previous trip due to the risk of driving such roads in heavy rains (or actually any rain!)

the town is gorgeous and charming. many many places to stay, visit and eat - was though worried that outside of the main road, none of the side roads were tarred and has been damaged badly. While lighting in the square was adequate everywhere else was completely dark. Also good to note that many places are closed on Tuesdays. Clarens is an artist's dream with many galleries and pottery shops and the Dino Talk was a highlight for us. The weather was terrible cold, so we chickened out of the walk to the tracks - definitely something to return for in the summer.
