Luxury Self-Catering Cottages in Aliwal North
Space, privacy, and quiet comfort near the Orange River.
Four private cottages provide generous space, elegant finishes, and thoughtful details designed for true comfort. Whether you’re travelling for business or taking a break from a busy schedule, Maison de Blom invites you to slow down, settle in, and feel completely at home from check-in to check-out.
Over time, my garden filled with blooms that I lovingly picked, wrapped, and shared with others. Looking back now, I realise Maison de Blom has grown in exactly the same way—one small dream at a time.
I'm not a professional florist or interior designer. I'm simply someone who finds joy in creating beautiful spaces and sharing them with people. Every room, every flower, every garden path and every carefully chosen detail has been created with love, in the hope that when you arrive, you'll instantly feel at home."
"Although you may not see me during your stay, please know that I know you're here. I look forward to every arrival, and I often wish I could be there to see the smiles, the first impressions, and the excitement of guests walking through our doors for the very first time. While I spend many of my days as a Beauty Therapist—where I also get to express my passion for creativity—my wonderful team becomes the face of Maison de Blom. They welcome and care for our guests with the same warmth and love that inspired this place from the very beginning.
Even if we never have the chance to meet, I hope you'll leave knowing that every part of your stay was prepared with you in mind, and that every detail was chosen with love.
My greatest joy is knowing that people arrive as strangers and leave with memories they'll carry long after they've gone.
So, if our paths don't cross during your visit, I hope you'll still feel my heart in every little detail. Slow down, breathe deeply, enjoy the gardens, rest well, and allow yourself to feel completely at home.
Thank you for choosing Maison de Blom and for becoming part of this dream. Every guest who walks through our doors helps this story continue to grow.
Welcome home."
With love,
Annelda Slater
