We stayed for 2 nights in beautiful Bloomestate. The room and the environment were really nice and the owners couldn't be more friendly. The jacuzzi was a good bonus as well. Breakfast was delicious and they also gave some good advice for what to do for day trips. What really made the stay memorable was the personal touch of the... More

The breakfast was excellent, well prepared and of a good quality with a personal touch. And beautifull eggmeals prepared by Maarten. A great location to relax for a few days. Besides the... More

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 very much enjoyed our overnight stop at the very chic Bloomestate. Our room was spacious, well maintained and nicely decorated. The owners take great care to make sure that you have everything needed for a comfortable stay. They recommended to us a nearby restaurant for our evening meal and that was a great success. Breakfast was absolutely superb and... More
