Great staff and rooms with views over the lagoon. Nice afternoon tea provided. Very relaxing stay. Good recommendations for local restaurants. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Knysna.
Absolutely perfect stay. Their attention to detail is incredible. The complimentary afternoon tea was unexpected and a beautiful touch. Breakfast on your private veranda was lovely with the most fantastic view. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Knysna.
TheBLOEM is an outstanding place to stay. Spacious rooms, wonderful staff and a fabulous breakfast. Afternoon tea and evening drinks are included. I have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.
One of the most stunning places we've ever stayed at. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, with a lot of great attention to detail (welcome drink, chocolate and fruits in the room, breakfast wishes). The room was spacious, modern and very beautiful, with a terrace overlooking the landscape. Can highly recommend THEBLOEM.
A true 5star experiance , from room to the attentivness of the staff .They were friendly , helpful and always about to please . From ordering taxi`s to serviving breakfast.
Nice touches like chocolate and flowers on the pillow each night, to fresh fruit in the room.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel with room patios that have a spectacular view overlooking the knysna heads. It is set on top of a hill but an easy walk to the mall and waterfront restaurants (not such an easy walk back!) Although the beds are very comfortable, the rooms are a strange shape, and it would have been better to have a sofa in the room instead of the swivel chairs. Also, the bathroom door should be of full length instead of 3/4 length for privacy. Breakfasts were amazing and service was super attentive. The little treats at turndown, the complimentary tea and cake every afternoon at the sister hotel, and the complimentary drinks at happy hour from 7 to 8 made this a very pleasant stay. The owners were very friendly and we very much enjoyed our stay.
Wir waren bereits das zweite Mal in dieser wunderschönen Unterkunft und haben uns wieder einfach unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank an Bianca und Ross, Constanze, Beauty und das gesamte The Bloem- Team, die uns einen entspannten Aufenthalt ermöglichet haben. Wir kommen wieder!
Es müssten mindestens 7 Sterne zu vergeben sein ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ einfach großartig, herzlich und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! 🥰

Ich wusste nicht, dass man einen Roman schreiben muss, sonst hätte ich darauf verzichtet eine Bewertung abzugeben. Das Angebot aber ist wirklich gut. Unbedingte Empfehlung.
A stunning Property with amazing views!
Staff were amazing and welcoming.
The property was beautiful, we loved our room.
Everything was modern and in great condition.
Breakfast was delicious and overall the hotel deserves 5 stars! Would definitely recommend it!
Spitzen Service und sehr nettes und zuvorkommende Angestellte. Kümmern sich um alles. 5-Sterne würdig. Eines der besten Hotels in dem ich jemals war! 5/5
Wir verbrachten 3 Nächte im The Bloem. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Das Hotel war sehr sauber und toll eingerichted. Die Aussicht über die Bucht von Knysna einfach super. Das Frühstück war immer sehr lecker. The Bloem hat sich 5 Sterne verdient. Wir können diese Hotel nur weiterempfehlen. Ein grosser Dank dem ganzen Team für den tollen Aufenthalt.
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.

Ainut laatuinen kokemus. Ihana hotelli korkealla mäenpäällä, mistä upea maisema merelle. Kaunis ja puhdas huone, erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta, joka teki ravintola varaukset ja auttoin omien matkasuunnitelmien kanssa. Aamiainen tuotiin omalle parvekkeelle toiveiden mukaan. Auton saa pysäköityä hotellin eteen ja hotellin kautta saa tilattua kuljetukset ravintoloihin. Alas kaupunkiin pääsee kävellen, mutta ylös tulimme aina taksilla.
