I do not know where to begin... I booked a room for me and the boys to take a break after a six hour drive from East London. It was a last-minute booking, and the hostess was so accommodating and lovely. I stopped by at the petrol station to buy snacks before heading to InBloem, and that's when all hell broke loose for me. I discovered that my wallet had been lost/stolen at our last stop in Aliwal North. In panick, my first thought was to go back! I then called the hostess to let her know what had happened and to cancel my booking. She was concerned about our safety, and she calmed me down and came up with various solutions. She even went as far as calling the ALiwal North local police to send someone to the garage and to speak to the staff there. She was amazing at perspective, and I will never forget how she made me feel supported in that moment when I needed it. I feel like I owe her, although my wallet wasn't found in the end, but her efforts were unmatched. Thank you so much. The stay itself was amazing. The beds were so comfy, the room is so spacious, and they have good facilities. Secure and lots of parking space. Awesome stay, and I'm definitely coming back. This is an easy 5 🌟 I have ever given.
