Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Free State

Absolutely delightful! Johan is a fantastic host. The accommodation is comfortable, the home cooked meals are scrumptious, and the decor is fabulously quirky. We will most certainly be back. The Purple House is unhesitatingly recommended.

My stay at The Melkkan was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, Willemien, the amazing host, made me feel right at home. Her warmth and hospitality were unmatched, setting the tone for a truly memorable visit. The restaurant is a delightful trip down memory lane, adorned with nostalgic memorabilia from days gone by. It’s more than a place to eat; it’s a charming escape into history. The farmhouse, dating back to the 1800s, is a well-preserved gem. Its rustic charm and character, combined with meticulous care, create an inviting and unique atmosphere. What truly sets The Melkkan apart is its family-friendly appeal. Willemien hosts music events featuring Afrikaans musicians, providing a vibrant, welcoming space where families can relax and enjoy. Children can explore while parents soak in the atmosphere. Whether travelling from Johannesburg to Cape Town or passing through Welkom, The Melkkan is an essential stop, offering history, hospitality, and memories to cherish.

Great stay!

A very neat place with friendly hosts

We had a lovely stay. The staff were amazing and so friendly. It made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived until we left.

Great stay! Beautiful room and large bathroom. Was cold in Potch so the extra blankets in the wardrobe and aircon really helped. Location was great and close to the mall. Thank you so much

What a beautiful place. Our dog had the best time, playing with Bruce’s dogs and running around on the farm. Lovely breakfast too. Would definitely come back.

The absolute best value for money one can find. Lovely place!

Laurike's communication is great and she is flexible, for example, we could check-in at anytime.

Great accomodation, friendly, serene🙏

We never met Wendy, EM made us feel like home immediately and it was no problem to change the room, wonderful breakfast and good advices what to do around Bethulie. Thank you so much for your hospitality Em, we highly recommend your lovely place to be.

Beautiful place, with a beautiful garden and very peaceful. I will definitely return here anytime I'm in the area. It's home away from home and Brenda is an awesome host who is very helpful, responsive and accommodating. The place is very serene.

5 Star rating. Vee and hubby were great hosts. Treated us like we were family. So welcoming, and so kind. Definitely looking forward to visiting Vaal Marina Guest House in the near future. Thank you for having us Vee

The place is really lovely. It is better in person than in pictures . If you need a place in Harrismith or take a quick break on the N3 then this is the place to book. Friendly stuff

We were tired travelers and looked Ilna's place up at the last minute to overnight there. Her and her husband were so hospitable and kindly accommodated us at short notice and we had a very comfortable and relaxed stay.

Thank you veryyy much for such a special and lovely stay ...

Loved the stay here, my parents were in town to visit Nampo and luckily they found this gem to stay! The room and building were beautiful and the hosts so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was packed for them everyday to leave for the show at 5:30am!!!!! Absolutely fantastic stay- thank you Leonard!

Thank you for a lovely stay, Isalize.

Thank you very much, They went out of their way to make sure our visit was enjoyable. The house is immaculate, and the views are amazing. Great to take in the beautiful landscapes of the Maluti Mountains.

It exceeded my expectations. The beautiful view of the vaal river and warm hospitality left me spellbound. It was so peaceful, definitely recommend!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The place is stunning and Githea fully considered dietary restrictions and food allergies.

Will not stay anywhere else when we vist Potchefstroom, this place is just stunning and the host are the best people !!

We had a very good time there. My girlfriend really liked the place and even said she would always go there if we were back in Ladysmith. They even allowed us a late checkout, as we needed extra time to take care of some things. It was very thoughtful and considerate of them.

I enjoyed my stay, it was a home away from home, close to everything. The host and the staff are friendly. I’m generally a person who doesn’t like noise and the place was very peaceful. The host went extra mile to ensure I’m comfortable. Thank you.
