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.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Headlands House Guest Lodge in Knysna, and it was absolutely perfect. The breathtaking views of the lagoon and ocean from our room were like something out of a dream. The staff (Debbie & the kitchen staff) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and special, consistently impressing us with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs. The property itself is beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere ideal for a romantic getaway. The breakfasts were delicious and made with such care, setting the perfect tone for each day. The attention to detail and the team's genuine warmth made us feel truly valued. It’s no surprise that people often call this place a "hidden gem." We couldn’t agree more - it was the perfect choice for our honeymoon, and we can't wait to return someday.

The breakfast was amazing. Michelle was attentive and made us feel relaxed and at home! The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly located, bright and spacious. The garden is perfectly manicured and tranquil. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. The area is safe and the lagoon is right on the doorstep. I've never felt more relaxed.
