"My partner and I had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Abloom! It was so nice and quiet - we felt we were miles away from the city, even if Pretoria is only a half hour away. The lodge was beautiful and comfortable, and we absolutely loved our private heated pool! Our massages and other treatments were fantastic, Pumelele and Precious took such great care of us. We did self-catering, which was great as the kitchen was well equipped for us to make our meals. We would love to taste the food next time though - got a little taster from our breakfast - which was delicious.

The only thing to be aware of is that there is NO reception at all, not even to make a phone call - since we were at Abloom for my birthday it meant we had to go into Cullinan town (not a very exciting place) so that I could speak to my family. Anyway - that is the only drawback (and not a big one), everything else was superb. "

"My husband and I spent a long weekend at Abloom Bush Lodge and Spa. We had the most awesome and relaxed weekend. The suite was breath taking. The open fire place was most welcomed during the cold weekend and we spent most of the time in front of it. The hot plunge pool was wonderful and we used it every day even though it was cold outside. The Spa treatments were the best we ever had. The therapists are very well trained and the massages are out of this world. Louis' food was superb and we had one of our best dinners ever prepared with lots of love and presented on the plate like a piece of art. Both Carmen and Louis were fantastic hosts. We strongly recommend Abloom Bush Lodge and Spa to everybody who wants to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and is seeking high standard pampering in a tranquil and romantic environment. We will definitely go back."


"Excellent awesome experience"

"What an awesome experience! Excellent for privacy and oh so relaxing. The spa treatments were excellent and the therapists really know what they are doing. Lowie, the food was top class, thank you so much. The service was very good and will definitely be going back there."
