Truly exceptional place
What a wonderful place to stay. Attention to detail is the very best I have ever experienced. Staff and owners are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We were looked after like royalty. We had suite 4 which has the best outlook from its raised decking and great to have breakfast out on in the morning.

Hidden Gem
This was a hidden gem. The most attentive staff we can remember. The rooms are incredibly modern, beautiful and clean. The views from the balcony area were lovely. Free drinks during happy hour. Have almost anything you want for breakfast cooked and prepared specially for you. Great bathroom. Felt very safe and looked after here. The staff are lovely and take incredible care of you.

Just perfect
My wife and I were there for 2 nights in suite four. THEBLOEM is the place of superlatives. No compromise. Just the best in everything : style, comfort, food, views, service, attention to details, little extras which make the difference. It sounds as I were the owner’s friend, so I will add a comment on improvement potential : the taps are too high and water tends to spray a bit outside the stylish but shallow wash basins. Shocking isn’t it ;-)

Beautiful house with great views
Amazing experience. Accommodation superb. The room was stunning. Spotlessly clean with amazing views over to the heads of Knynsa. We were in suite 4. Staff could not have done more for us. There were loads of extra touches which made it a very memorable experience. This included washing our car on the morning we were leaving. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

a memorable stay with incredible views of Knysna
Our stay at thebloem was one of the highlights of our trip across the Garden Route. The service was impeccable - every staff member was so attentive and caring, we were overwhelmed by the generosity! Thank you to the team at thebloem! We hope to be back :)

Wake up to the sea!
One night on the way through the garden route. Stunning property with direct beach access, great breakfast while watching a pod of dolphins swim past

Not value for money
The house keeping switched off the satellite receiver of the TV and the refrigerator and this caused great inconvenience to us. They had issues in giving extra towels too. No one is there in the hotel post 10pm to take care of the guests. It is not value for money for just bed and breakfast kind of hotel.
