Furniture and fittings is royal, too exquisite-more like your 5 star hotel. Everything is well placed in the room, from kitchen, bathroom. Parking, wifi, big screen tv etc. It is a very safe place, the manager made sure we had everything we needed, allowing flexibilty in her service offering. The fact that it is about 8km from town makes it even more ideal, serene and refreshing. Its more than what we bargained for. I would do it again should I come this side again.

I loved everything about the place, the treatment was awesomely exceptional.

This is one of the nicest places to stay in Bloemfontein. Very upmarket and thoughtfully designed. Equipped with the best appliances and wants. This will be my number one choice for Bloem. Value for money for sure!

The braai room was smelly (due to someone using it for a braai) - so cannot blame the establishment although I couldn’t use that part of the unit. I guess generally this will not be an issue…after-all, it is the braai area

The unit is neat and tidy with very nice fittings and high end appliances. A big screen TV is a pleasant addition too. A range of coffee options allows for a pleasant start to the day. The area is very quiet, which allows one to get decent rest. Bed is comfortable, with decent linen. Shower heats up immediately when running the water. I would recommend this accommodation to business travellers as well as couples who are visiting Bloemfontein.

A way to prevent light from entering the unit at the kitchenette in the morning would be a ideal.

The facilities, the cleanliness, the location, staff friendliness, and the tranquility far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I would certainly recommend the guest house to any traveler.

The fact that online booking does not have an option for selecting rooms, e.g. when travelling with family. My wife and I were booked far away (Executive Room 1 & Premium Room 1) from from our little children of ages 7 & 10.

Everything about the house, welcoming drinks, the clean house and very comfortable bads. Even the area is peaceful. The check in was very easy, the staff were friendly... uhhh how can I forget the Nespresso 🤪 woow we had a great stay with my family at the guesthouse

The fact that I booked a suite that was already booked, but we managed to solve the problem thankx to Silma...

It’s in an excellent part of Bloemfontein, close to the N1 with some lovely restaurants close by too. But its beauty is its quiet when you there which makes you feel like you on a farm outside Bloem. The room is super large and very comfortable. Barry, who was our host was excellent and very helpful even before we arrived.

I assume the property is very new, so things like wifi still needs to be sorted for the TV entertainment, but sure Barry will sort this out quickly.

Everything was seamless, you get a message detailing all you gonna need, keys by the door. Access code to the gate given in advance. Place and facilities are really awesome. it is quite a peaceful place (its location) ,

I just struggled to get the right shower water temperature - but once i read the instructions provided - all worked well.

Home away from home. Great location and our room was clean, neat and bigger than expected. Staff were friendly and helpfull, especially Silma, who welcomed us and made us feel at home. Would highly recommend Summer Palace

Maybe an umbrella or two for a bit of shade at the seating areas at the back of the rooms?

Christiaan was such a lovely host. One of his staff members resigned this week couldn’t be served food as I had previously arranged. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were catered to and more than comfortable! The place was BEAUTIFUL! Nice and quiet and perfect for some downtime away from the city. I would 100% recommend the place.

The entire stay went well. I was so heartbroken to be leaving this exceptional place. A lot of the stays in Bloemfontein are very old fashioned in regards to their aesthetic. Summer Palace Executive 2 was beyond my expectation for Bloemfontein. I have lived in BFN for sometime and my stay in Summer did not feel like i was in BFN. The finishing, the styling, the aesthetic, the ambiance of Summer Palace is hands down top tier in Bloemfontein. Exceptional is an understatement. The ground staff (April) go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and need for nothing. Brilliant service overall.

There was nothing not to like. Perhaps a larger swimming pool near the rooms (a lap pool instead of a plunge pool)? Although there is another pool near the reception but a larger pool nearby would be great.
