Liedjiesbos Urban Olive Farm Accommodation

Beautiful setting

If you ever want a lesson in attention to detail, this is the place to go! From the moment we set foot on the property, it was clear that they have literally thought about everything they do, how they do it and why they do it. The reception/breakfast area is beautiful, welcoming and makes you want to shop. (This may or may not be a warning...but the merchandise asks to be taken home.) After a warm welcome and sign in, we were directed to our room and met there to show us where to park, help us in, and explain everything in the room. As I've said, if you want to a lesson in attention to detail - from the decor, to the layout, positioning of simple things like the kettle, the fridge, the bench in the kitchen to the amenities, biscuits (TO DIE FOR!), good quality tea and coffee etc. etc. It was just a pleasure to stay there from the moment we arrived. The bed was super comfortable and they use high quality linen (which makes a difference to how you sleep - it does for us, anyway). We loved the fact that there is a clear focus on protecting the environment, attracting birds and making beautiful gardens and features. We're keen birders, so we absolutely loved the presence of all the birds and the barn owls (they gave us a proper "owl show"). Keep in mind we were there in the dead of winter so it's not even prime birding season, and the place was teeming with birds. Also, there was a wood stove in the kitchen area and an air-conditioner in the bedroom - so we weren't at all cold. (There was a problem with the aircon when we arrived, but it was literally sorted out within ten minutes.) Breakfast was delicious - and the portions were not too big (we hate wasting food) or too small. I'd love to return in summer.

Everything

Such a fantastic place to stopover. The decor, gardens and high standards were amazing. I will not go anywhere else now when I stopover in Bloem. Just loved this place - from the fresh flowers and apples in the room to the coffee and brownies on the stoep overlooking their beautiful garden. It really was wonderful. You also were wanting for nothing in the rooms. Truly delightful.

Absolutely nothing to dislike at all
