• "What a pleasant surprise!!!"

  24 December 2015

  "This was such a nice surprise, the effort Magriet puts into making you feel welcome is really amazing. There is always some issues when traveling with a toddler, you know sleeping arrangements ect, but she went above and beyond what we expected putting rails on the bed so little one won't fall off. The room in itself was well equiped with everything you might need, and even the general information about where to get what in town was readily available. With complimentary juice, milk, teas, coffees and breakfast cereals with yogurt..... All we can say is WOW!!! Will definitely recommend it to anyone needing a place to stay in Bloemfontein!!!"

  "I had real trouble finding accommodation in Bloemfontein, as our visit coincided with the 100th birthday celebrations of the African National Congress (ANC) and everywhere in town seemed to be booked out. After some difficulty, I managed to find the Duinerus Guest House - and what a find it was! Located in a quiet suburb sandwiched between the University of the Free State and the N1 highway. It was a home-from-home and an absolute gem for people travelling on a budget. The accommodation is self catering, but the owner has been very generous in equipping the kitchens with tea, coffee, milk, bread, fruit juice, butter, jam and rusks - in other words, the makings of a perfectly adequate breakfast at no additional cost. The rooms, all en suite, are compact but comfortable and equipped with both fans and heaters to cope with Bloem's somewhat extreme climate. There is secure off-street parking, and the surroundings are pleasant. I should note that there is no air-conditioning and no swimming pool, but for this price, it wouldn't be reasonable to expect this. What makes this place so outstanding is the generosity and thoughtfulness of the host. She struck an excellent balance between being friendly and helpful, yet not intrusive (I can't bear hosts who crowd and fuss over you) and her accommodation is some of the best value-for-money I've experienced in a long time. The guest house is well located for those wanting a break on the long haul to and from Cape Town, and it doesn't require a major detour from the highway. It is also excellently located for the university, from which I suspect it derives a large proportion of its business. Should you wish to self cater, it is also close to a well-stocked Spar supermarket on Nelson Mandela Drive and several restaurants within a short drive. We stayed in a unit comprising three en-suite bedrooms with a shared kitchen-living area, which was ideal for a family travelling together. An absolute find, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!"

• "Home away from home!"

  13 January 2012

  "What a pleasant stay we had at Duinerus Self Catering Accommodation! Very friendly hostess and friendly staff. A beautiful home. Will definitely make use of the venue again. Relaxing and enjoyable stay. Real value for money. Keep up the good work! Thank you Magriet."

• "Nice weekend"

  05 July 2011

  "We had a very nice weekend at Duinerus accommodation last weekend. The rooms are clean and beautiful, we just loved the building. The bathrooms, wow! The kitchen, lovely. The place is like a hotel. We will come back and tell other people about the place. Keep it up Magriet, you are a friendly and welcoming person."

• "Attention to detail"

  16 June 2011

  ""If you can trust someone with small things then you can do the same with big things" Anonymous. I was welcomed with open arms at the guest house and thus felt very welcome immediately. Due to the bitter cold outside, Magriet made sure that my room was 'room temperature' when I arrived and thus scored full marks in my books. The attention to detail (as mentioned above) added value to my stay in Duinerus and thus when I ask myself the following question: "Would I recommend the guest house to my family and closest friends?", the answer would be yes."

• "An Amazing experience"

  12 April 2010

  "Our stay at Duinerus was absolutely amazing, we received a warm welcome from Magriet who made us feel like family who returned home. The room was absolutely clean and very beautifully decorated. Magriet ensured that every need or want was met without us even having to ask. We were really sad to leave and should have planned to stay longer. We will definitely be staying at Duinerus the next time we are in Bloemfontein and have been recommending them to everyone. Well done"

  14 July 2009

  "I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Duinerus and Magriet made me feel very welcome. She also gave me a map of Bloemfontein, as well as tips on which grocery stores were more reasonable. Her booklet included tourist sites to visit as well as information about the sites. She also supplied emergency contact numbers for hospitals/doctors in case needed. I would certainly recommend this establishment to anyone, whether they wish to stay just for a weekend or longer. Everything has a personal homely touch so you do not feel you are in a strange place. Thank you Magriet. Ann Rabie"
