This is a true rare gem of a place to stay, close to restaurants. Everything is well planned and thought of. All the treats was such a welcome. We loved our stay and will definitely stay here again when we come to Bloemfontein next time.

That combination of modern with antique "plaas" decor was special. Our baby was happy feeding the horses from the edge of the yard and swinging away in the garden The view= calm and spectacular Noise = no noise but cows. Which was great. Bed= massive and comfortable Everything you need We wished that it was for more than 1 night. This will be our Bloem place!

“A stunning place where everything has been thought of.”
This is a really stunning place. Quiet, beautiful, so very well looked after and presented. Felt like a VIP staying here. The furniture, decor, fittings, extra's are all first class. A real haven with a view and horses nearby, loved the wood burning hot tub, the luxurious bedding. Flowers and wine as extra's for my daughter's birthday. Loved our stay. So much space to enjoy, a large garden, swings, firepit. Beautiful bathroom!
