Bloomestate Swellendam

The property itself is a tranquil retreat. The gardener does a fantastic job of keeping the grounds looking great. We really liked the view from our room overlooking the garden and the pool. The owners have an eye for detail—even down to leaving treats on the pillows at night after we returned from dinner. They even placed an umbrella outside the door on the morning we had a little rain, ensuring we wouldn’t get wet on our way to breakfast. We had some dietary requirements that we communicated before arrival, and a special effort was made to accommodate them, which I really appreciate. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful setting with beautiful, well equipped rooms. Very comfortable stay. Calvin and Chere were excellent hosts.

Nothing to dislike.

What a truly delightful hotel Chere & Calvin have created! A lovely, tranquil setting with large, peaceful rooms set in a charming garden. Delicious breakfasts with a super selection of dishes and homemade treats. And the couple couldn't have been more helpful, with information about places to visit as well as restaurants to try - and then assist with booking a table.

Our only disappointment was not staying longer!

With passion, a true heart for hospitality, and a keen eye for detail and design, the hosts took on the challenge of managing this elegant estate… just before Covid lockdown hit. Luckily they survived. Now, their project deserves every success.

What’s not to like about this accommodation and the people who put their heart into it?

Very personal bfst service. Spacious. Love chere and Callin

I already suggested to have a small support for getting out of the nice pool. Particularly for elderly people who would like to hang onto to something when getting in/ out of pool. I personally would have loved to use the pool, but abstained, with some minor knee problems. Some other guests had similar comment.

Everything was perfect.
