Everything was faultless!!! We absolutely loved every minute of our stay as a family of 5 at thebloem guest suites. We stayed one night as a stop along the garden route and had 2 rooms. Having stayed at over 6 places over the last few weeks, we can honestly say thebloem surpassed all the other accommodations! True 5* luxury experience from beautifully spacious and contemporary rooms and amenities, including fabulous bathrooms to the delicious and perfectly cooked breakfast with amazing variety. Service from Constance, Tracy and the lovely man who helped with luggage was fantastic. The owner/manager Bianca was really sweet. Everyone made sure our stay was great, very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing luxury break amid the travelling.

    We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
