Bloomestate

Set in the small town of Swellendam, Bloomestate couples modern architecture, nature, and elegance to provide travelers with an ideal retreat in which to relax while visiting South Africa. Built to accommodate those who appreciate the finer things in life, the newly built guesthouse is nestled in a verdant estate of 2.5 hectares. The building's exterior, awash in white, conveys an understated elegance. The hotel's interiors tell a completely different story, as stylish accommodations display vivid colors and cubist elements. With a maximum of 14 guests, you can rest assured that the hotel will pamper you with all the privacy, attentive service and comfort you'll need for a delightful stay.

Bloomestate has seven modern, spacious garden rooms that redefine chic luxury. The "four seasons" rooms, each inspired by a different season, feature fiber green sun orange, purplish pink and Nordic blue. Earth, wind, and fire are the themes for the "elements rooms," boasting tones of red, brown and blue. In addition to their designer furniture and luxurious bathrooms, the rooms have French doors that open onto landscaped gardens. Nature lovers will take delight in a tranquil dam, heated saltwater pool and exquisite views of the Langeberg Mountains. Only the latest amenities, including wireless internet access, will be at your disposal. Grab a drink at the bar and unwind in the lounge area. Small platters and massage treatments are available on request.
