I liked how perfect it was for one person- had everything you needed
The dogs at the next door property were barking well into the night- which made it difficult to sleep- but nothing the guest house can do!

Reviewed Jul 20, 2026The host was extremely friendly and accommodating! This is a very reasonably priced accommodation that is comfortable and ideal for a one or two-night stay in Bloemfontein. The room is spacious with a private sitting room and kitchenette. The owner accommodated us on very short notice in the evening and welcomed our fur-baby as well. She had heated the room before our arrival, and it felt so very inviting and welcoming when we arrived in the cold of the night into this warm, spacious room.
The owner is fully aware that the facility needs an upgrade and has begun the process. Therefore, the room and its facilities need renovation and a modern facelift.

We stay at Finch & Fern regularly and always look forward to returning. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Check-in was, as always, hassle-free, and we were pleased with our room. We had booked Room 1 though, but were allocated Room 2 instead, which was perfectly comfortable.
The establishment is situated in a quiet and safe environment, with the added convenience of undercover parking. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with a kitchenette offering everything one needs for an overnight stay. The Smart TV with streaming options was highly appreciated again, the bed was very comfortable, and there was more than enough bedding for the cold winter night. The electric blanket was especially appreciated. The bathroom was practical, and generously sized. We also particularly enjoyed the small private courtyard, which provided additional privacy and a peaceful space to relax.
Security is excellent, and one feels safe and at ease throughout the stay.
The only minor downside was that the guests in the adjacent room were unfortunately not very considerate of others. Phone conversations, opening and closing of unit and car doors, and talking and laughing at around 01:30 disturbed the peace. We mention this only for the sake of balance, as it is not intended as a negative reflection on the establishment itself.
We genuinely enjoy staying at Finch & Fern and will certainly return again. We can recommend this guesthouse without reservation to anyone looking for comfortable, well-appointed accommodation in a safe and peaceful setting.

Our room was a delight – spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities we required for a self-catering stay. The bathroom was practical and well-appointed, providing everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and we stayed warm and cosy despite a very cold night. The electric blanket was most appreciated.
Parking was conveniently located directly in front of our unit and was undercover – a definite bonus. We also appreciated having our own private entrance and parking area. Security was excellent, providing peace of mind throughout our stay.
The guesthouse is situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood and is conveniently close to shops, the hospital, and the N1 highway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and always return. We highly recommend this guesthouse to fellow travellers.
