117 guests' feedbackDefinitely worth it. Ideally equipped for short and long stays. Beautiful place, very well equipped and very friendly welcome.
Michelle was very friendly and helpful.
Friendly hosts and helpful.
Excellent value for money. Friendliest hostess in the country.
The place is very cozy and tidy.
Rest@blake's communication from booking until we left was great. We only arrived very late in the evening, they were willing to accommodate us. The big plus point is they have solar power, which helps a lot. Upon arrival, delicious surprises awaited us. Sherry, cold water, coffee, fresh milk and even mini chocolates on the pillows. The place is neat, clean, safe and beautiful. We will definitely book there again. May their business grow in abundance.
Thank you very much, everything was perfect, neat and safe.
The owner, Michelle, was very friendly and helpful. The place was neat and tidy on arrival. I will recommend the place to family and friends. Most importantly, there is no load-shedding at Rest @ Blake.
We were received very kindly. The hostess introduced us to everything and was helpful. Good value for money and suitable overnight accommodation.
Well appointed with everything and more needed for an overnight stay or even longer.
See stars.
Since I arrived I've received nothing but smiles and friendliness. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. and this place was ver neat on arrival. Truly home away from home, and total privacy with 24hour assistance when needed. Michelle a true and unique hostess, I'm recommending this place to everyone!
We only stayed overnight on our way from Centurion to Port Elizabeth, and Rest @ Blake was absolutely perfect. The little things they thought of were unexpected and made the stay very special. Friendly, very neat, and definitely safe.
Comfortable bed. Really enjoyed the sherry on arrival.
Area was very quiet and safe, beds are clean and comfortable.
Very comfortable, clean and quiet!
I will definitely visit them again, it was very nice and convenient. All I would like to add is a grill to the braai.
Was nice. Will go again.
Rest@ Blake more than met our requirements, comfortable, quiet, all the necessary to make the stay pleasant.
Felt very safe. Nice little garden where you can relax. Problems were discussed with the owner and she attended to them immediately.
See stars.
The unit is very well equipped and the service is excellent.
Nice and clean and perfect for a stop on the long road.
We slept over with a big dog. Michelle accommodated us with a room to one side with its own garden.
Very nice, clean and friendly reception. Everything in the place that is needed and more. Thank you we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it.
Was in Bloemfontein on business. Was very neat and clean. Very private. Bed was amazing. Hostess very pleasant and helpful. Will stay there again in the future.
Owner is very friendly. Feels like a home. All necessities are available and would stay there again anytime.
I immediately felt at home when Michelle met me at the gate. She was interested in my well-being and insisted that I call her if I needed anything. The apartment was in immaculate condition, clean and tidy. The apartment has every imaginable kitchen utensils and appliances you may need. I can recommend anyone with great boldness to make use of Rest@Blake!
A peaceful overnight stay, very clean and neat and we had a friendly welcoming.
A very neat unit with a closed area for our dogs. Very nice overnight stop.
Thanks a lot for a neat stay. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you also that we as a family could braai together at your place. Very affordable. Thank you that you went the extra mile with extra bedding etc.
We had an overnight stay (with our dogs) on our way to Joburg. Our stay was comfortable. Michelle was a great host. The room was neat and kitted with everything we needed.
The accommodation was fantastic I fully recommend the accommodation. Everything is clean and neat, here is a hostess who knows what she wants. There is even a chocolate treat, these are the little things that will make me use Rest @ Blake again, and I will do it if I have to go to Bloem again, Michelle thank you very much for our stay. as mentioned you are first on my list when i go to Bloem!
Friendly reception, clean, safe parking, nice bathroom, good bed, close to Boerenmuseum, restaurants and shops. The sofa is also a sofa bed for a third person and is not really comfortable.
Comfortable, quiet and safe and close to shops.
As they say, home away from home.
For me it is a refreshing place that offers everything you need. A versatile place for in-between breaks of a trip. Friendly hostess and absolute value for money. Close to the main road and petrol station this makes an excellent overnight stay for the Traveller. So would definitely recommend it.
Was a great place, close to everything.
Convenient, close to the shops with a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for a quick sleepover. It is definitely worth 5 stars!
Of outstanding quality and immaculately clean, had everything I needed and really great to know I can spend the night there again on my return trip. Friendly and helpful.
See the stars.
Great value for money. Clean and tidy. Little additional treats like Cherry, chocolates and fancy coffees and teas. A bit far from restaurants.
I'll stay there anytime again. Very neat, spacious and very comfortable. Brilliant price.
Apart from 2016 and 2017 when we followed other routes and did not spend the night in Bloemfontein, we have used it for years, and again this year, as our resting place from the Southern Cape to Pretoria. I think that says enough about our satisfaction with Rest@Blake, otherwise we would have stayed somewhere else a long time ago. In fact, over the years, development and improvement of the unit can also be seen.
It was a very pleasant time. I was very impressed with the standard of accommodation. I would easily sleep there again. Thank you for the friendly service.
Beautifully safe and clean. Will definitely stay there every time on the way to Hartenbos. Would recommend it.
Very good service and value for money! Everything you need. Very clean and tidy, close to the N1. Nice quiet area, slept well! Going to stay there every time I visit Bloemfontein, hope they have room? Had a great stay. You can also spend the night there with your family.
We had a very nice stay. We were received very kindly and our hostess was very helpful. Our dinner was delicious.
Rest@Blake is the type of season home where you don't want to go back home. It is fully equipped and well located. We felt safe and enjoyed the sherry.
Very friendly reception and welcoming. Felt at home. Everything in excellent condition. Would visit again anytime and recommend.
Quiet, safe with a central location.
Michelle received me in a friendly manner. I immediately felt at home on arrival. The place is very neat, clean, spacious and very well equipped. The bed is very comfortable with the best pillows! Michelle went out of her way to get me something for dinner. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants value for money as well as a good night's sleep. Thank you once again.
Communication between us, Lekke Slaap and Rest@Blake was excellent from the start. Reception by Michelle at destination was friendly and warm. Place was clean, tidy and fully equipped. Everything worked great. A good night's rest put us back on the long road early the next morning. The glass of sherry was the icing on the cake. Thank you very much.
You are warmly and kindly welcomed. The place is neat and clean and the bed comfortable. Delicious hot water. Located in a quiet and safe environment. Can easily recommend it.
Had a great overnight stay and would recommend anytime.
Very pleasant people, friendly and helpful, peaceful neighbourhood and very safe, very security aware.
It was very pleasant. The unit was spacious and fully equipped.
Will definitely be back. Everything you need. Highly recommended.
The accommodation and people were very pleasant.
Thank you ever so much for the lovely accommodation! It is very good value for money and we had a wonderful rest. I appreciate your effort of always asking whether or not we need anything. It was calm, trouble-free accommodation. I will gladly stay there again if needs be. We wish you well.
Well located and close to everything. It's very neat with friendly service.
We had a very lovely stay. The extras were a nice surprise! Will do so again!
Thank you very much it was really a privilege to sleep there clean and friendly people. Would recommend any one. Thank you very much.
Had a nice stay but a carport with a shade net would be nice for hail and the sun.
Friendly reception, spacious flat and very neat. No noise, had a relaxing stay.
Definitely value for money. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe, and the place is equipped with everything you could need. Will definitely stay there again if in Bloemfontein.
Very neat place, well equipped with everything you need. Friendly reception, very clean and everything in good condition. Will definitely come back.
The accommodation is extremely convenient for self-catering. It is very neat and clean, and furnished with everything one needs. The reception was extremely warm.
Good location, close to everything you need. Comfortable and tidy.
Located close to businesses with easy access to highway and it is ideal for shopping. Close to hospitals, garages and restaurants.
The hostess was very friendly, the accommodation was neat and clean. I would only recommend that the outside area at the braai should be improved and be more comfortable. The chairs and table must be covered. The sliding door to the room must be able to open, it's very cramped.
Friendly welcome, very warm and made to feel at home.
Peaceful, quiet, safe, hospitable and friendly.
There is a friendly hostess, private garden and good facilities. We are grateful that you have alternative arrangements in place for load shedding times!
Everything that is needed. Definitely value for the price.
Please see the stars.
Rest@Blake is located very close to a Pick 'n Pay which makes it very convenient. It is also located very close to two major hospitals and close to Fleurdal Mall. Easily accessible, in a quiet neighborhood and nice and private with your own little garden and barbecue area. Rates very reasonable. I will definitely be staying there again in the near future.
Please see the stars.
We looked for accommodation that was close to certain hospitals. Rest@Blake is perfectly located for that and also close to many shops such as the Fleurdal Mall. Very peaceful stay with a hostess who is very friendly and helpful.
Place very neat. Short boxes to put suitcases on if possible please. Also in bathroom to put toilet bag on. Also very complete. Will definitely stay there again. Nice close to places to eat etc. Thank you!
See the stars below.
The hostess is very friendly and spared no effort. I would stay there again anytime.
This is real value for money accommodation and hospitality in a lovely quiet setting.
We will surely return!
See the stars below.
We really didn't know what to expect and were really pleasantly surprised - the lady assisting us was very friendly and advised on food outlets and even gave us nice and clear directions to where we were suppose to be for the day. Thank you very much!
I would recommend Rest@Blake anytime; we received friendly service and the place was very neat and clean.
We were kindly received. We were well explained how everything works and we had a very nice stay. Everything was clean and tidy.
Great value for money. Close to most places. Located in a quiet neighborhood. The owner is a beautiful person, this contributes to a wonderful stay.
Excellent, will definitely go back!
The apartment was well furnished.
I will definitely return to this cottage. Everything was great and so was the hostess.
Very neat and clean. Stylishly furnished. Everything one needs is there. The bed soaks just as well as my bed at home! Friendly reception. Will definitely recommend the guest house to friends. Thank you Michelle, it was nice there with you.
A nice quiet environment and yet conveniently within walking distance of a shopping centre.
See the stars below.
We will definitely use you again. Everything you need was there.
We really enjoyed our stay: the hospitality, breakfast, cleanliness of room and bedding, bathroom facilities, silence, and peace and quiet were truly excellent. We can hardly believe that we have been driving past Bloemfontein for so long without sleeping over. Will definitely stay with you at least 3 times a year with breakfast. I will recommend you to all our family and friends.
Rest@Blake is very accessible and just off the N1 main route.
There was nothing out of place, everything a traveler needs, and the location was ideal for our (business) purposes.
Thank you very much.
We used this accommodation again on our way back from the Cape and will do so again for the next holiday.
I would definitely recommend Rest@Blake to people looking for an overnight place in Bloem... the service is great and the place is very neat. Definitely value for money. We enjoyed our time there.
My wife and I had a great stay at Michelle's place, and her place is very neat and clean. It was a nice evening after the day's long drive. Feel free to sleep here.
Personal service that we have never experienced before. It was a pleasure to stay there and would definitely do it again. Very neat and clean and for an overnight stay nothing was missing. The hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Keep it up; you will get many more loyal visitors in the future.
Quiet locale and good furnishings made for a restful stopover.
Michelle from Rest@Blake was FANTASTIC. Her customer service was brilliant from start to finish. The accommodation and facilities at Rest@Blake are of a very high standard and have been put together with thought for the convenience and comfort of guests. I have recommended Rest@Blake to 2 of my friends who travel to Bloem regularly and have not used them before.
We slept very well on a good quality bed. Everything in the unit was very neat, clean and well maintained. We will stay there again.
Thank you very much!
We would definitely recommend it, and will be back ourselves. It really is a home away from home, an all-in-one. Safe and convenient!
We really enjoyed our stay at Rest@Blake and would certainly make use of it again in the future. Regards, Chris and Marietjie.
It was a decently equipped place that was centrally located and the lady was very hospitable and friendly. We had a wonderful stay.
We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back there again.

Great accommodation, exceeding expectations.
We had a wonderful rest in a well-equipped place. Friendly service! Good quality linen and mattress.
The unit is on a quiet street, in a quiet neighborhood and very private from the main residence. The unit is well equipped and there is also a small private lawn by the braai where you can relax outside.
Rest@Blake provides all the basic needs. You get value for money and friendly service.
