Awesomely homely!
Mark Ashworth, South Africa
23 December 2011
We were welcomed and made to feel at home from the very first, to the very last moment. The room was neat and the décor fitted superbly. The breakfast was top notch and the bottle of apricot jam was the cherry on top for a fantastic stay at De Oude Huize.
An amazing stay

A very comfortable place which is styled with love for history and details. Great dinner and lovely hosts. Go there!
A real gem

If you are looking for the best mix of traditional and eclectic in the Free State, this is it. From the minute we arrived, the welcome was genuine and warm. We enjoyed the superb views from the garden loungers of the mountains, and a fire in the bedroom after dinner. Such a treat. Rooms are amazing, full of artifacts, antiques and curiosities. Oil lamps were lit in the evening and we had a fabulous meal. Great service. Seemed a shame it was only a one-night stop.
We left smiling and content!

After a long trip to the Free State, we stayed here en route to our home in Amanzimtoti. We felt welcome from the very first moment as the hosts were friendly and we were treated like royalty. We indulged ourselves in the historical trip in the old Chevy around Harrismith and were amazed how much interesting information there was to be shared about this "little" town! Sandra's delicious meals were of 5 Star quality, with a lovely home cooked taste and a definite air of sophistication. ... more
