    A lovely option for when you are in town for a short stay. There is quite a large kitchen/ dining area so it is ideal for self catering. It is located close to shops and the university.

Ruresta embodies an "indigenous" concept that combines the character and the spirit of the Free State. A magnificently decorated en-suite self-catering flat and a deluxe twin unit invites you to unwind in comfort and style. Conveniently, close to the N1, Ruresta is situated in a quiet, up-market suburb of Bloemfontein and offers you excellent self-catering accommodation in a luxurious flat. A queen and single bed in the bedroom and a double sleeper couch in the lounge, make accommodation for 5 persons possible in the Deluxe unit. Guests can enjoy the use of an open-plan kitchen and lounge, fully equipped with cutlery, utensils, microwave, stove, fridge and TV with DSTV, M-NET, and SABC & E-TV. A private braai facility also gives you the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing evening at Ruresta. A Deluxe Twin unit give an extra opportunity for the solo traveller. A choice can be made between two single beds or a king size bed in the Delux Twin Unit. An en-suite bathroom features a shower. The unit is equipped with a kitchenette and TV with DSTV, M-NET, and SABC & E-TV. Secure off-street parking ensures an enjoyable stay in Bloemfontein. Both units do have free WI-Fi.
Your hosts are Johan Coetzee. With personal attention and excellent hospitality you will experience the feeling of "arriving as guests and leaving as friends". As host I like to see that guest experience complete privacy, and try to address all needs as far as possible.
