Sustainable Living & Environmental Stewardship

A few words about us

Let us introduce ourselves

Our Commitment to Sustainable Living and Environmental Stewardship:

As passionate owners, Dawie Human and Henning de Bruin, we are dedicated to positively impacting our environment. Throughout our business, you’ll find evidence of our commitment. From the indigenous gardens and rain tanks to water treatment systems and an environmentally friendly home, we prioritize sustainability.

Our architectural structures, designed by Smit Architects, seamlessly blend into the Free State landscape, creating a harmonious connection with nature.

Emphasizing indigenous plants and organic practices, we extend these principles to our accommodation, slow food breakfast ingredients, and bath products. To minimize energy consumption, we’ve designed our buildings to require minimal heating and cooling. Additionally, we prioritize reusing and recycling original building materials while incorporating energy-saving devices and solar geysers to reduce our carbon footprint further.

The interior of the main building reflects the owners’ love for art, antiques, and travel. It seamlessly blends old and new elements from diverse African, Egyptian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and other cultures. The result is an exciting environment with a chic and comfortable feel, showcasing their passion for aesthetics worldwide.

Our Green Mission

How it all came to be…

At Liedjiesbos B&B, we embrace our connection with the environment and warmly welcome everyone who shares our planet. Enjoy the beautiful bird sounds in the morning, the soothing frog calls at night, and the occasional sight of resident owls.

Our pride lies in cultivating green food, flowers, and fruit on-site. Moreover, we diligently support the Slow Food movement principles, sourcing all other supplies within a 200km radius. Water conservation is paramount and we treat and reuse every drop to nourish our 400 fruit trees.

Please enjoy our indigenous garden as we proudly embrace South African values towards the environment. Join us and be inspired!

You can freely browse our beautiful books about food, architecture, travel and nature in the living room section. Furthermore, for bird watchers, we also provide binoculars!
