Thank you for making us feel welcome in your guesthouse. Your hospitality and friendliness has made our stay in Bloemfontein so much more pleasant. We want to take the time to commend your exceptionally beautiful garden and your absolutely gorgeous dog. Our stay there was very comfortable and we would recommend it to any and all.

Dear Pieter & Raisa I really can't forget the warmth of your welcome from the night are came in, it was very late not sure as to where it is exactly till I called Pieter, and so humble he gave directions even willing to wait just for me to get the right directions. I really touched not my heart but also the well being as a client was of high quality, daily when i think about your Guest House my floods with joy because who became to me, a friend indeed that I can't forget my whole life, for your consideration became of a high quality on food, bed & room, let it not be for me alone but others who are to stay at your place, let the same determination & commitment you gave me be to them. Best Regards Sam Thotelo

Ons het in Oktober 2010 'n troue bygewoon en by Oom Pieter en Tannie Raisa se oornaghuis gebly. Oom Pieter en Tannie Raisa was baie vriendlik en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Dit het soos 'n tuiste gevoel. Als was netjies en lekker ingerig gewees. Ons was nou weer so week(19/12/2011) terug by Oom Pieter en Tannie Raisa se oornag huis en dit bly maar net uitstekend! Dankie Oom Pieter en Tannie Raisa vir alles, julle sal ons net kry by Oom -hulle in boek!

Baie dankie vir julle wonderlike gasvryheid en ontvangs by die Odessa Gastehuis. Dit het ons tydjie in Bloemfontein waarlik ‘n plesier gemaak. Die netjiese kamers, warm komberse en verhitting het die kamers ‘n toevlug gemaak teen die koue. Ons waardeer die liefde en moeite wat julle by julle plekkie insit! Ons hoop om julle gou weer te sien! Groete

Sincere thanks for our short overnight, but very pleasant, stay on the 2nd March, 2009. Your welcome was WOW!! We meet many people as we go through Life but some, like yourselves, leave footprints on our Hearts. All being well, we will definitely be back next year.

in December when we made our halfway stop over in Bloem on our way to East London from Joburg (my mom, my baby and me) we stayed at one of their pricy hotels but this time around we decided to go for self catering with room service, i wasn`t sure what to expect especially at their way reasonable price, but i was more than impressed the place and the owners are fantastic, from the moment we made the telephonic booking to the moment we left ...they gave us excellent treatment and service and always willing to accomodate our needs, i will never stay anywhere else when in bloem. I salute your excellent service!

We were very impressed with the guesthouse and compares with the best that we have stayed in all over South Africa and overseas and you would definitely receive a 5 star tourism rating overseas.
