We (family of 7) spent a Saturday night at Bloomestate. The ambience of the estate as well as the interior decorating is really special. Breakfast was excellent and plated in a way I have not encountered at any other guest house before. The friendly owners certainly have a unique sense of style and are most accommodating and interesting.

Our family visited Bloom Estate for one night in May, and all I can say is wow! From the warm welcome from Carla, the beautiful funky rooms and all-round hospitality. The beautiful garden also gives that feeling of being at a retreat with views of the mountains. I would definitely recommend the pool facing rooms and the red cloud room... More

We enjoyed our two day visite in March 2013. The breakfast was extraordinary, the rooms are very large. The garden invites you to relax. For the children (and not only for them) the pool was very important. Because it is cleaned with salt, not with chlor, it was possible even for me (I have an allergy against chlor) to swim.... More

We stayed one night at Bloomestate in Swellendam and we wished we had more time to spend there. The rooms are big and spacious, comfortable and inspiring. The gardens around, the swimming pool, the Bar, everything make you calm and relax. The beakfast is very very good and Carla and Maarten are warm, open and helpful people. We will come... More

Bloomestate in Swellendam was our 4th stop of five along the Garden Route. We had stayed at some great places already, so we were delighted that Bloomestate kept the high standard. The hosts, Carla and Maarten made us so welcome. Prior to the visit, they had organised horse riding and restaurants for us, and whilst there provided great breakfasts and... More
