Bloomestate Swellendam

Beautiful B&B with charming hosts and fantastic breakfast. The grounds are extensive with beautiful pool area and pick your own citrus fruit available. Rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. Concrete pathways to all rooms make luggage movement easy. Calvin also cleaned our rental car for us. Perfect!

We stayed for 2 nights in this trendy, modern, designer boutique property. It is very much on the outskirts of Swellendam so a car is needed to go anywhere other than the pizza establishment next door. The room itself was very large and bright with patio doors opening on to the immaculate gardens and pool. Having chairs, even fold up one, on the patio would have been a good idea as the alternative was either sitting on the dividing wall bench or inside. Everything was spotlessly clean. The sunlounges round the pool were very comfy and the owner has a bell in the building which sounds every 20 minutes to remind them to come and clean the fallen leaves from the pool – that’s a new one on me! There was a large guest lounge with honesty bar, microwave, crockery etc, a good selection of games and dvd’s. Breakfast was all home-made produce from the owners and was excellent, there is a large orchard on the property which you are welcome to walk round, and this provides the fruit for all the citrus products.

This is definitely the finest boutique hotel we have found in the area around Swellendam. Service, design, location, attention for all small details - it couldn't be better. Library, honesty bar to dwell, gorgeous pool with mountain views, spaceous and lush garden, ... make your stay very special. The 2 owners are a charming young couple who make sure you get a fantastic experience, and their staff is as dedicated as they are. RECOMMENDED.
