This low bungalow with the traditional covered veranda, situated in a large tranquil garden is an oasis of chic, contemporary style with vibrant, invigorating splashes of colour and modern technology.

Your hosts, the owners of Bloomestate, Carla and Maarten will ensure that you are comfortable and will be pleased to recommend activities and restaurants in the area. However, you could easily just laze around the very large garden, by the natural pond with the dogs or on a lounger next to the heated swimming pool.

Take advantage of the Jacuzzi in the garden or be pampered with one of the Wellness Therapies offered at Bloomestate.

The guesthouse itself is separate from the garden rooms and offers a bar area and a large, light lounge area, complete with fireplace for those cool country evenings.

Bloomestate is in Swellendam in the Overberg area of the Western Cape.
