The FAK should do a story! What an experience to be able to spend the night in such a piece of history! Fouriesburg is a hidden gem in the Eastern Free State, would recommend it to any traveller!

Die FAK moet 'n storie doen! Wat 'n belewenis om in so 'n stukkie geskiedenis te kon oornag! Fouriesburg is 'n versteekte juweel in die Oos Vrystaat, sal dit vir enige reisiger aanbeveel!

Peaceful accommodation in a traditional cottage. My wife and daughter and I stayed at the Pophuisie for one night on our way to our next destination.

Rustige verblyf in 'n tradisionele huisie. Ek en my vrou en dogter het by die Pophuisie oorgebly vir een nag op pad na ons volgende bestemming.

Affordable, neat and great location. Really enjoyed the stay. Will visit Die Pophuisie again.

Bekostigbaar, netjies en goed geleë. Baie lekker gekuier. Sal weer Die Pophuisie besoek.

A precious experience! Thank you very much. The Pophuisie was a special experience. It's uniquely furnished with all the old things. I can definitely recommend Die Pophuisie! We slept warm and safe and relaxed. I will definitely use Die Pophuisie again if we need accommodation in the beautiful Free State landscape.

'n Kosbare ervaring! Dankie baie. Die Pophuisie was 'n besonderse ervaring. Dis uniek ingerig met al die ou goedjies. Ek kan Die Pophuisie beslis aanbeveel! Ons het warm en veilig geslaap en lekker ontspan. Ek sal beslis weer van Die Pophuisie gebruik maak indien ons akkommodasie benodig in die mooie Vrystaat-landskap.

Out on a snow hunt - highly recommended! We enjoyed the stay. Die Pophuisie offers 1 night bookings and does not have a 2 night minimum stay limit. Response to inquiries was quick and questions were answered well. Paula is also very accommodating and would even wait until 11pm to come and unlock if needed. It's 100 m from the main road on the way to the Lesotho border, but the "traffic noise" as mentioned below in a previous review was not noticed or cause for concern at all. If you want to experience the "essence" of Fouriesburg, this is the right place to stay for 1-2 nights. The unit is nicely decorated inside which still gives the old fashioned feel with pictures on the walls, original wooden floors, and lots of books available for reading. It is clean and tidy. Thoroughly enjoyed the flipfile in the unit with original photos. Could see it was put together with a lot of effort and hard work. The entire Free State history of the Anglo-Boer War is well described along with the history of the entire town as well as the Pophuisie itself. If you are a history buff, this will please you and will give you a good nostalgic peasant feeling and reawaken a sense of pride within you! No TV is available but didn't need it at all. All the basic amenities were available. Even coffee, sugar and fresh milk were provided along with towels. It's 1 minute walk from a cozy family restaurant. Highly recommended for a small family on their way to AfriSki! Very close to Clarens and Golden Gate, but cheaper destination for accommodation. And we missed the big snow in Fouriesburg and area by 1 day! Will have to go back in the future to see again.

Uit op 'n sneeujag - hoogs aan te beveel! Ons het die verblyf geniet. Die Pophuisie bied 1 nag besprekings en het nie 'n 2 nag minimum-verblyf limiet nie. Reaksie op navraag was vinnig en vrae is goed beantwoord. Paula is ook baie akkommoderend en sou selfs tot 23:00 wag om te kom oopsluit indien nodig. Dis 100 m vanaf die hoofpad op pad na die Lesotho-grens, maar die "verkeer geraas" soos onder genoem in 'n vorige resensie is glad nie opgemerk of enigsins rede tot bekommernis nie. Indien jy die "essence" van Fouriesburg wil ervaar, is dit die regte plek om by te bly vir 1-2 nagte. Die eenheid is mooi versier binne wat die oudmodiese gevoel nog gee met foto's teen die mure, oorspronklike houtvloere, en heelwat boeke beskikbaar vir lees. Dit is skoon en netjies. Het die flipfile in die eenheid met oorspronklike foto's terdeë geniet. Kon sien dis met baie moeite en opslaanwerk aanmekaargesit. Die hele Vrystaatse geskiedenis van die Anglo-Boereoorlog is mooi beskryf saam met die geskiedenis van die hele dorp asook die Pophuisie self. As jy 'n geskiedenisdier is sal dit jou plesier en sal dit jou 'n goeie nostalgiese boere-gevoel gee en weer 'n trots binne mens wakker maak! Geen TV is beskikbaar nie, maar het dit glad nie nodig gehad nie. Al die basiese geriewe was beskikbaar. Selfs koffie, suiker en vars melk was voorsien tesame met handdoeke. Dis 1 minuut stapafstand vanaf 'n gesellige gesin-restaurant. Hoogs aan te beveel vir 'n klein gesin op pad na AfriSki! Baie naby Clarens en Golden Gate, maar goedkoper bestemming vir verblyf. En ons het die groot sneeu in Fouriesburg en area met 1 dag gemis! Sal moet teruggaan in die toekoms om weer te sien.

Good value for money. More than sufficient for accommodation for travellers on a budget in the Eastern Free State.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Meer as voldoende vir verblyf terwyl jy op reis is deur die Oos-Vrystaat en teen 'n billike prys.

Not the best accommodation. Felt unsafe. The accommodation was clean but the facility is old and not well maintained. Not recommended. Expected more.

Nie die aangenaamste verblyf nie. Het onveilig gevoel. Die verblyf was skoon, maar die fasiliteit is oud en swak onderhou. Sal nie aanbeveel nie. Het veel meer verwag.

Weekend away with some friends. We had a great time in the doll house and the owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

Naweek weg saam 'n paar vriende. Ons het baie lekker gebly in die pophuisie en die eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek sal dit gerus aanbeveel.

Reasonable accommodation for an overnight stay, but not comfortable for a longer stay. We had a discussion at the Pophuisie in Fouriesburg recently. Unfortunately, the stay did not meet our expectations. We were booked for 5 nights there, but then we only stayed there for 3 nights. The house is very nicely restored, but unfortunately in the wrong place for people who want to rest. It's definitely not a comfortable vacation spot for a few days. We would recommend it for a one night stay, but certainly not for more than one night. The house is unfortunately located two yards from the main entrance of Lesotho (Caledonspoort border post), Clarens, Ficksburg and Bethlehem, with the result that we couldn't sleep at all the first night because of all the noise from trucks, taxis, music, people, etc. Because we didn't want to lose money, we were forced to sleep there for three nights. We then stayed on a farm nearby for the fourth and fifth night. The cottage is not holiday friendly at all. There is a lot of dust everywhere, no fan in the master bedroom in the sweltering heat when we were there, no comfortable and private barbecue area. The owner was very friendly and understood when we explained our need for rest.

Redelike akkommodasie vir oorslaap, maar nie gemaklik vir langer verblyf nie. Ons het ‘n bespreking gehad by die Pophuisie op Fouriesburg die afgelope tyd. Die verblyf het ongelukkig nie aan ons verwagting voldoen nie. Ons was bespreek vir 5 nagte daar, maar ons het toe net vir 3 nagte daar uitgehou. Die huisie is baie mooi gerestoureer, maar ongelukkig op ‘n verkeerde plek vir mense wat tot rus wil kom. Dis beslis nie ‘n gemaklike vakansieplek vir ‘n paar dae nie. Ons sal dit aanbeveel vir ‘n een nag oorslaap, maar beslis nie vir meer as een nag nie. Die huisie is ongelukkig twee erwe geleë vanaf die hoofingang van Lesotho (Caledonspoort grenspos), Clarens, Ficksburg en Bethlehem, met die gevolg dat ons die eerste nag glad nie kon slaap vanweë al die lawaai van trokke, taxi's, musiek, mense, ens. Omdat ons nie geld wou verloor nie, moes ons noodgedwonge drie nagte daar slaap. Ons het toe vir die vierde en vyfde nag op ‘n plaas daar naby gaan bly. Die huisie is glad nie vakansie-vriendelik nie. Daar is baie stof oral, geen waaier in die hoofslaapkamer in die snikhete tyd toe ons daar was nie, geen gemaklike en privaat braaiplek nie. Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en het verstaan toe ons ons behoefte aan rus verduidelik het.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I apologize if there was dust as I try to maintain a high standard of cleanliness. In the meantime I have acquired a fan and I believe that it will help with the unprecedented heat conditions currently prevailing.

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Ek vra om verskoning indien daar stof was, aangesien ek 'n hoë standaard van netheid probeer handhaaf. Ek het intussen 'n waaier aangeskaf en ek glo dat dit sal help vir die ongekende hitte toestande wat tans heers.
