A ONE-OF-A-KIND GUESTHOUSE
The Love Story Guest House
Love Story is the perfect place to relax and reconnect. It is a unique three-bedroom guest house in the quaint Free State town of Paul Roux.
Our Gracious Sandstone Lady
Love Story Guesthouse offers guest rooms and is located in the hamlet of Paul Roux, in the Free State. The guesthouse offers a blend of old-world charm and fresh, modern touches within peaceful, tranquil surroundings. This rustic, country-style guest house features 3 en-suite guest rooms. The room contains a queen or double-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, one offers a bathtub, whilst the others offer a shower only. The rooms feature exposed sandstone walls paired with warm, peaceful earth tones and pastel notes. It includes complimentary toiletries, a wall-mounted heater for cold nights, and a tower fan for hot summer nights.
Why Love Story?
We wanted to tell the story of a grand old sandstone lady, a house that has experienced decades of family and friends meeting together under her roof. Sharing their love, joy, heartaches, and hope around a table or a braai.
Several generations living in the beautiful hamlet of Paul Roux, reminiscing on the many stories, marking the land with memories of what was and with hope for what is to come.
We dare to dream of a sandstone lady dressed and beautiful, ready to host friends and family around her table again, enjoying the peaceful sounds of birdsong and country living, tasting the fruits of the garden, and cherishing the memories being made.
A story of love for a grand sandstone lady and her fruitful garden, a story of love for the beautiful nature of the eastern Free State, the Majestic Malutis in the distance and their stories of perseverance and love.
EN-SUITE BEDROOMS
This beautiful sandstone home with its peaceful surroundings offers three equally restful en-suite bedrooms

THE COMFORTS
The home has a large built-in braai made from the old fireplace and chimney. Each room is equipped with a tower fan for those warm summer nights and a wall heater for the cold winter nights. The beds are made according to the season, with a comforter and/or duvet, pillows, and sheets.
The headboards and side table are made from the old, repurposed floorboards as is the bookshelves in the lounge. Here you will find books and games to pass the time with during your stay.
THE KITCHEN AND DINING AREA
A large extendable table can host many lingering conversations and ponderings. Game nights could liven up the afternoon tea with a built-in counter for the appliances and space to make a cup of tea. Also, bring your own pods for the right cup of java with a Nespresso machine.
The kitchen has a built-in basin, gas cooker and oven and fridge. You will find pots, pan, mugs, plates and bowls for your use.
GARDEN
The garden has several fruit trees and a grape vine, the fruit of which you are welcome to pick from when they in season.
We have a variety of flowering plants and rose bushes with their various winged visitors, insects and birds.
A gazebo in the garden is just the place to have a picnic underneath.
