Important Information Before Booking at Liedjiesbos Thank you for considering Liedjiesbos as your accommodation of choice. To ensure a serene and restful experience for all our guests, we kindly ask that you take note of the following policies before making a reservation: Liedjiesbos is dedicated to offering a peaceful and luxurious environment. For this reason, we do not offer family rooms and unfortunately cannot accommodate children under the age of 10. Our vision is to create a calm, quiet atmosphere where guests can fully relax and enjoy the tranquillity of their surroundings. Please note that we are unable to accept reservations for the following purposes: • Bridal parties (including brides and bridesmaids) preparing for weddings • Grooms and groomsmen preparing for weddings • Any type of photoshoots • Events, functions, or social gatherings Our establishment has been thoughtfully curated to offer a high-end, boutique experience. Every detail—from antique and custom-designed furniture to premium bedding and finishes—reflects our commitment to quality, comfort, and character. We also maintain a strict policy regarding room occupancy. In keeping with our values, we do not believe in squeezing extra people into rooms simply to maximise bookings. We rather provide a spacious, peaceful retreat for each individual guest. We therefore strictly adhere to the maximum number of guests allowed per room and do not permit unregistered visitors or additional guests. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us preserve the calm and distinctive charm of Liedjiesbos, and we look forward to welcoming you to a truly restful and memorable stay.
