BAA was established in 1999. The association is a non profitable association with the main aim of providng a variety of quality, graded accommodation services in Bloemfontein. Members of BAA are compelled to have good tourism ethics and follow regulations of conduct. BAA offers the traveller and tourist the advantage of comfortable, high standard and affordable accommodation. Bloemfontein has become the conference centre in South Africa and has easy access to all sectors of the business community. Within 15 minutes drive of the CBD you are surrounded by the beauty of our landscape where our guests can play golf and also enjoy a quick game drive after an exhausting day of work. Here they can relax and enjoy the surroundings as evening approaches.
